Need for user ID for an unregistered individual
Under GST, an advance ruling is issued by tax officials for corporates and individuals who seek clarifications on tax matters. It is a simple interpretation of tax laws. Whenever a taxpayer is uncertain about tax laws, he/she can demand an advance ruling. Such requests can be made only by a registered person or by one who is going to obtain registration.
Thus, if an unregistered person wants to seek any clarification, he/she cannot do so without being registered on the GST portal. Unregistered users should create a user ID so that they can make a request for advance ruling.
