The Bridge-building tasks between the Ministry & the Taxpayers, like Registering Taxpayers, Representing on their behalf, and Liaisoning between the Ministry & the Taxpayers, is mainly carried out by the Registered Goods & Services Tax Practitioners only. Therefore, there is an utmost necessity to update the knowledge of the Registered Goods & Services Tax Practitioners with latest updates & developments in the field, like changes, amendments to Acts & Rules, all Notifications, Circulars, Instructions brought in by the Ministry, together with latest Appellate Orders, Tribunal Decisions, Authority for Advance Rulings – AAR’s Decisions, High Courts’/Supreme Court’s Judgments, etc., must be reached to the Registered Goods & Services Tax Practitioners instantly, so as to enable the Registered Goods & Services Tax Practitioners to extend their services to Taxpayers in an appropriately updated manner.

Therefore, the Ministry of Finance, Government of India must be requested to order the GSTN to circulate or send emails attaching such of the above referred informative things to all the Registered Goods & Services Tax Practitioners instantly, as & when brought in or made effective.

Further, the GSTN is holding the details about all the Registered Goods & Services Tax Practitioners with it. Unfortunately, such information about the Registered Income Tax Practitioners is not available with the Department of Income Tax under the same Ministry. It would be much better if the Department of Income Tax also creates an independent Income Tax Network [ITN] or introduce a provision in its own Website, to stock up information about the Registered Income Tax Practitioners.
