Tamilnadu GST Dept. issued Handbook on Roles and Responsibilities for CGST officers:

Tamilnadu GST Dept. issued Handbook on Roles and Responsibilities for CGST officers The Chennai Outer GST and Central Excise, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry GST Zone has issued Handbook on Roles and Responsibilities for CGST Officers, prepared based on the initiative of the young inspectors of Chennai Outer CGST Commissionerate. Chennai Outer GST & CEx is immensely pleased to share the “Handbook on Roles & Responsibilities for CGST officers”. The handbook is intended to serve as a quick reckoner for officers of all ranks in an Executive GST Commissionerate- from the Inspector to the Principal Commissioner- of their statutory roles as defined in the Goods & Services Act, 2017. The handbook has been divided into four sections- the first two dealing with the basic functional units of the GST architecture- the Ranges manned by the Superintendents & Inspectors and the Divisions headed by the Deputy or Assistant Commissioners. The next two sections focus on the roles of the senior management- the Joint and Additional Commissioners and the (Principal) Commissioners. This handbook, apart from acting as a guide, is also intended to help officers appreciate the roles of other officers in the chain of command and ensure that instances of overreach beyond one’s executive powers are avoided. For the ease of reference, all Sections and Rules dealing with a common subject have been collected under a single heading. Their content has been condensed and simplified for easy understanding. Wherever applicable, statutory time limits have been highlighted in bold. Hyperlinks to subject- specific Instructions, Circulars, and Notifications have been provided in the E-version of this handbook to allow officers to read more on the subject. Details of Handbook:
