Board Meeting: Approval of GST Registration

Posted on 15/01/2020 by Maharshi Shah

A board meeting is a formal gathering of a Board of Directors. Most of the organizations, being public or private, profit or non-profit, are ultimately governed by a body commonly known as Board of Directors. The members of this body cyclically meet to discuss strategic matters.

A Company is required to apply for GST under the following situations:

Voluntary registration
Turnover exceeds the specified limit mentioned in the law
Claim the Input Tax Credit (ITC) levied on purchases

Once the Company receives the GSTIN from the GST department, it has to convene a Board Meeting and inform the Board regarding the GST details and record the same.

Furthermore, a resolution authorizing _______ must also be passed in the Board Meeting to authorize a person on behalf of the Company to sign the returns, documents, letters, correspondence, etc., to represent on behalf of the Company to appear before GST authorities as and when required.

Thus, review your Board Meeting Minutes immediately after the meeting. When your board meeting minutes are complete and finished, make sure they are distributed to board members as soon as possible. Once the minutes are approved by a vote of the members during the board meeting, they become part of the official record of the organization. It’s important that a copy of all minutes are kept in one place.

e-Way Bill Portal : Create Registered Client/Supplier Masters

Posted on 24/12/2019 by Maharshi Shah

The e-Way Bill (EWB) Portal provides its users with the option to manage their products, clients, suppliers, and transporters. Hence, this can be done by creating product masters, registered client/suppliers masters, unregistered client/supplier masters and transporter masters on the system. Therefore, creating masters for the clients would mean that the user wouldn’t have to enter the entire name but just the first few characters.

Therefore, the respective name of the GSTIN holder will automatically appear. Additionally, enter the “Business Place” and “Approximate Distance (in KM)” in the respective fields. Click on the “Submit” option.

The following message will appear on the screen after the submission of the Customer data.

Therefore, the registered GST user can upload the Supplier/Client Master data in the above manner.

FAQs
