The Maharashtra SGST department has provided the norms on GST audits by the State GST officers dated 9th July 2024. To ensure constancy in audit procedures and easier transitioning the instructions were issued.
GST Department of Maharashtra has Issued the below-mentioned Instructions-
As per the old guidelines, the GST audit for the matter pertinent to FY2020-21 shall be continued. Under Internal Circular 04A of 2024, the amended audit framework shall not be applicable to FY 2020-21.
For issuing Show Cause Notices under section 73 for FY 2020-21 the limitation period ends on November 30, 2024. The audit proceedings for the matters assigned to Nodal & LTU Divisions will be performed via the officers of these divisions as per former norms.
To avert trouble, a complete audit of cases for FY 2021-22, following the new guidelines of Internal Circular 04A of 2024, will be conducted by the newly formed audit wing. Present jurisdictional officers will not proceed with audits for FY 2021-22.
