GST Registration Campaign 2025: CGST Delhi Commissionerate Promotes Legal Compliance Among Unregistered Manufacturers and Traders:

GST Registration Campaign 2025: CGST Delhi Commissionerate Promotes Legal Compliance Among Unregistered Manufacturers and Traders The Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Delhi East Commissionerate held its GST Registration Campaign on 21st and 22nd March 2025. It was launched to encourage the unregistered traders and manufacturers to register and obey rules under the GST laws. This initiative focused on involving unregistered manufacturers and traders within the jurisdiction of CGST Delhi East and helping them understand the importance of registering with the GST Department and following the provisions of law. The campaign was conducted at locations such as:

• Hallan Chowk, Old Seelampur
• Gole Baithak, Old Seelampur
• Jacket Market of Jaffrabad
• Subhash Road, Gandhi Nagar
• New Seelampur

There were GST Helpdesks arranged at the above-mentioned locations to solve the queries and help in the GST registration process. The campaign attracted significant attention from the local traders. Earlier, these traders were unregistered and doing their major transactions in cash, which negatively affected the Indian economy. In this Initiative, over 2,000 doubts were solved by GST officers. They provide assistance with the GST registration process. The initiative received a supportive response as many traders came forward to register their businesses under GST. More than 100 fresh GST registration applications were generated. 200 students across several reputed Universities were invited to be the GST Ambassadors to spread awareness in the two-day campaign. These Ambassadors were supervised and guided by a team of GST officers, including 10 Assistant Commissioners/Deputy Commissioners and more than 80 officials. The students assisted in spreading awareness about GST provisions by going from shop to shop, telling people about the process and benefits of registration under the GST regime. They conducted surveys using a set of questions that were already planned. They followed the standard script and applied their knowledge of sales, marketing, and market research to generate leads for GST officers to follow up on later. Around 7,500 pamphlets outlining the provisions of GST Registration were published in both Hindi and Urdu languages. The National School of Drama (NSD) team organised role plays, skits, and mohalla campaigns, at various locations to create awareness among people about the importance of the payment of tax to the government along with the negative impacts of non-payment of the tax. The GST registration campaign was organised under the guidance of Shri Pawan Kumar, Commissioner of CGST Delhi East, and Shri Paras Shankhla, Additional Commissioner. It was executed under the close supervision of Shri Jyotiraditya, Additional Commissioner, along with a team of GST officials, including Shri K.K. Singh, Assistant Commissioner, Smt. Anu Joshy, Deputy Commissioner, Shri Mingma Sherpa, Deputy Commissioner, Ms. Akshita Srivastava, Assistant Commissioner, Shri Anshuman Yadav, Assistant Commissioner, Shri O.P. Meena, Assistant Commissioner, and Shri Maujood Siddique, Assistant Commissioner. The campaign closed with a final ceremony organised by Shri Mahesh Kumar Rustogi, Director General of the Directorate General of Taxpayer Services (DGTS). During the ceremony, he addressed the student volunteers, trade associations, civic society organizations, and the team of officers and officials involved in the campaign. He emphasized the importance of formalizing the economy to achieve the goal of a $5 trillion economy. He encouraged the audience to continue this effort and wished that such campaigns would be launched beyond the Delhi East CGST region to other divisions and then finally across the entire country. The initiative plays a significant role in increasing the registration for GST among the unorganised sectors to boost the legal compliance and growth of the Indian economy. The CGST Delhi East Commissionerate is focused on continuing initiatives like this campaign to bring all types of sectors into the formal economy. This will promote greater transparency and accountability and contribute to the economy.
