The Central GST Zone Tamil Nadu and Puducherry is organising a special fortnightly drive for liquidation of pending cases of verifications with respect to ‘risky exporters’ and their suppliers from December 6. This special drive will be conducted in Coimbatore Commissionerate, including all the divisional offices located at Coimbatore, Coonoor, Pollachi and Tiruppur.
A press release from ARS Kumar, Principal Commissioner, Coimbatore CGST and Central Excise, said the Department has applied stringent risk parameters in respect of certain exporters categorised as ‘risky exporters’. Their IGST refunds are blocked and their export consignments are being subjected to 100% examination at various Customs formations. Hence, many trade bodies/ taxpayers have brought to the notice of the Chief Commissioner of CGST Tamilnadu & Puducherry, the difficulties being faced by the exporters in obtaining refunds in time.
In a move to ensure that refunds are not delayed to genuine exporters because of the verification process, the Chief Commissioner of CGST Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, has directed the Commissionerates falling under CGST Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Zone to hold the special drive. All exporters and suppliers to exporters against whom verifications are pending should submit the required documents and get the verifications completed.
