From the desk of the Member, CBIC & Principal Director General

          Continuing with the earlier practice, this newsletter captures the details
of the new functionalities that were introduced last month on the GST portal and
the CBIC-GST application. Further, complementing the earlier focus areas viz.
“Making Sense of the GST Data” and “Getting Access to the GST Data”, this
newsletter highlights the “Business Functionalities Available in GST IT Eco-
system”. It is expected that as you set your agenda to better administer GST and
further facilitate the taxpayers in the new FY 2019-20, this overview of all the
business functionalities available at the GST front-end and back-end shall help
you to effectively and efficiently manage human resources to achieve these
objectives.

         Presently, close to 4,800 officers of the CGST formations and
Directorates General are yet not mapped to access GST application data. It would
be appreciated that to this extent, available resources are not being deployed for
GST. The mapping of these officers thereby enabling them to access and manage
information in all the business functionalities is important for providing an
empathetic and responsive tax administration.

          These monthly newsletters were begun to enhance a two-way
communication between this Directorate General and the field officers regarding
the various IT developments for implementing GST. This is important as user
feedback is a sine qua non for the CBIC to have a world class IT infrastructure for
GST. There has definitely been some progress in this regard, but there is ample
scope for a more broad-based response from the field formations.

3.   Understanding the IT Architecture of Business
     The GST business information is divided in “Modules”, which are
     accessible by specific tabs. So all the granular level registration
     information is available in “Registration” module, accessible by clicking
     “Registration” tab.

     The GST taxpayer information is divided in seven major modules –
     Registration, Payments, Returns, Refunds, Assessment, Audit and
     Dispute Settlement & Resolution (DSR). Here each information for a
     specific taxpayer and a tax period is available via a simple query. The
     information to be acted upon by proper officer is covered under module
     “Task lists”.

     Additional modules are added as per new business information, like E-
     WAY bills, Advance Ruling etc.

     The aggregate information for administrative oversight is available
     under “Reports” module.

                                                                          4| Page

5.      Collaboration Tools to Understand Available Business
        Functionalities

        Officers need to constantly share data and knowledge with their
        colleagues in their formations.

        DGs has created Commissionerate-wise and Division-wise communities,
                                                                             12| Page
on Antarang portal, for all CGST Commissionerates, all Directorates and
     all Customs formations to increase collaboration between officers by
     starting a discussion forum thread, seeking comments on a topic or a file,
     sharing blogs, bookmarks, Wiki, etc. This also allows officers to also
     share large sized data files.

     The ACL Admin of a Commissionerate or a Division can become the
     Administrator for their respective community on Antarang by sending
     the duly filled template to antarang.webmaster@icegate.gov.in.

6.   Feedback and Suggestions
     DGs is striving to make the CBIC-GST Application user friendly and
     responsive to cater to expectations of the users. In this direction DG
     Systems is continually involving field formations in both the
     development of the application and the UAT (User Acceptance Testing)
     of new functionalities before their deployment. Likewise, inputs are
     always taken from the field formations and Directorates for new MIS
     reports and improvements in existing MIS reports.

     DGS looks forward to receiving your feedback and suggestions, which
     may please be sent to dg.sys@icegate.gov.in.

                                                                          13| Page
