The GST Portal/ GSTN requires you to enter OTP while carrying out many activities.
You can set up email forwarding to make this activity easy. See a video on how you can do this.
The GST portal/GSTN requires OTP in the following cases-
- GST registration
- GST return filing
- Changing personal details
- Changing core and non-core fields
- Opting in and out of composition scheme.
On ClearTax GST Software users need an OTP for obtaining an API connection.
If you do not have access to email on which OTP is sent, collecting OTP becomes a tedious task. An Expert or Chartered Accountant faces this difficulty many times. One has to call the person (client) and ask them to forward the email or SMS which contains OTP. Sometimes you have to wait for a lot of time, in which case the OTP expires.
Here is a simple solution to this problem.
SET UP EMAIL FORWARD
You can set up auto-forward of OTP emails received by clients from GSTN. With this, you will be able to receive OTP to your email.
