GST rules simplified

The CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) has reduced the turnover limit for issuance of e-challans (electronic challans) under Goods and Services Tax (GST) to Rs 20 crore from the earlier fixed limit of Rs 50 crore.

PAN-Aadhaar linking

If you do not link your PAN to your Aadhaar number by March 31, your PAN will become inactive, and you will be charged a penalty. Section 234H of the Income-tax Act will be used to levy the penalty. Though the government has not yet announced the penalty amount, the maximum fee for integrating PAN with Aadhaar after the stipulated date would not exceed Rs 1,000.

Centre appeals against ruling on levy of GST on maintenance charges to resident welfare associations

Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and Sathi Kumar Sukumara Kurup on Wednesday allowed an application filed by the Centre to dispense with production of a certified copy of the judgment passed by Justice Anita Sumanth recently and directed the Registry to list the appeal for admission in the usual course. Justice Sumanth had in July this year quashed an order passed by the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) on June 21, 2019 as well as a consequent circular issued by the Department of Revenue under the Union Finance Ministry on July 22, 2019 since both of them had insisted upon collecting GST for entire monthly contribution.
