Dear Member,

This is to you that CBEC has issued Circular No. 25/25/2017- GST dated 21.12.2017 on the above subject.

As per rules 104 and 106 of the CGST Rules, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as “the CGST Rules”) the application for obtaining an advance ruling and filing an appeal against anadvance ruling shall be made by the applicant on the common portal.

However, due to the unavailability of the requisite forms on the common portal, a new rule 107A has been inserted vide notification No. 55/2017-Central Tax, dated 15.11.2017, which states that in respect of any process or procedure prescribed in Chapter XII, any reference to electronic filing of an application, intimation, reply, declaration, statement or electronic issuance of a notice, order or certificate on the common portal shall, in respect of that process or procedure, include the manual filing of the said application, intimation, reply, declaration, statement or issuance of the said notice, order or certificate in such Forms as appended to the CGST Rules.

In this connection, on the recommendations of the Council and for the purpose of ensuring uniformity in the processing of such manual applications till the advance ruling module is made available on the common portal, the conditions and procedures are prescribed in the Circular No. 25/25/2017- GST for the manual filing and processing of the applications.

 This is for your information.

Thanking You,

Yours faithfully,
