The government has provided relief to GST taxpayers from a physical
visit to tax office for verification of digital signature required on
return forms.
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has
allowed taxpayers to file return forms GSTR-1 and GSTR 3B through an
electronic verification code (EVC) that would be a kind of one time
password (OTP). This would eliminate the need to verify the returns
forms filed by taxpayers through digital signature by visitation to GST
offices.
According to the CBIC notification, EVC facility to
authenticate returns filed under the two forms will be available to
taxpayers during the period from April 27 to May 31.
