Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):Notification No. 07/2025 – GST

Q1: What is the purpose of Notification No. 07/2025 – Central Tax?

Answer:
This notification amends the CGST Rules, 2017 to:
🆕 Introduce Rule 16A: Temporary Identification Number (TIN) for non-registered persons making payments
🛠️ Update Rule 19(1) and Rule 87(4)
📄 Replace and enhance FORM GST REG-12 structure
📌 Learn more at: https://finodha.in/gst-compliance/

Q2: What is Rule 16A and why was it introduced?

Answer:
Rule 16A allows a proper GST officer to issue a Temporary Identification Number (TIN) to a person who is:
✔️ Not required to register under GST
❗ But needs to make a payment under the CGST Act
This bridges the gap for tax compliance by unregistered parties.

Q3: What is the Temporary Identification Number (TIN)?

Answer:
TIN is a unique, time-bound ID granted to unregistered persons required to make GST payments. It allows them to pay dues without undergoing full registration.

Q4: What changes are made to Rule 19(1)?

Answer:
Rule 19(1) is amended to include “FORM GST CMP-02” alongside FORM GST REG-10. This allows composition taxpayers more clarity on the form usage while withdrawing from the scheme.

Q5: How is Rule 87(4) affected?

Answer:
The rule now references Rule 16A. This means persons with temporary IDs can access the GST common portal for payments through the electronic cash ledger.

Q6: What is the updated FORM GST REG-12?

Answer:
The new form is bifurcated into:
📄 Part A: For temporary registration or suo moto registration
📄 Part B: For issuing Temporary Identification Numbers
It includes:
✔️ Personal & business details
✔️ Address & PAN (if available)
✔️ Bank accounts (optional)
✔️ Reason for temporary grant
✔️ Upload option for seizure/detention memo

Answer:
Yes. The officer may direct the person to apply for permanent registration within 90 days from the date of issue of temporary registration, as per REG-12 instructions.

Q8: What documents are required for a temporary ID?

Answer:
✅ PAN (if available)
✅ Mobile number & Email ID
✅ Address proof
✅ Any other valid ID (Aadhaar, Passport, Voter ID)
✅ Relevant memo or supporting document

Q9: Will TIN holders have the same rights as GSTIN holders?

Answer:
No. TIN only enables payment under GST law. It does not:
❌ Allow claiming ITC

Absolutely ✅. Finodha provides:
