CBEC:
Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue (CBEC) has initiated the process of migration of its existing Central Excise/Service Tax Assessees to GST. As part of its efforts to ensure implementation of GST by 1st April, 2017, CBEC has taken steps to ensure that its existing taxpayers are migrated to GST in a simple, user-friendly and smooth manner. Once the existing registered Taxpayers (both Central Excise as well as Service Tax) login to CBEC’s Web Portal www.aces.gov.in, a facility will be given in a secure manner the to access the provisional login ID and password given by Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN). Thereafter, using the same, they can log in to GST Portal (www.gst.gov.in) to fill the required fields and submit scanned documents. However, if they have already initiated the process of migration to GST as a VAT Asssessee under State Commercial Tax Department, no further action is necessary. PAN is mandatory for migration to GST.
