*Advisory Note for claiming credit in TRAN 1*
It has been observed that taxpayers are facing problem in claiming transitional credit in respect of existing registration(s) under earlier law(s) of Central Excise, Service Tax and VAT.
When these registrations are mentioned in the TRAN 1 form in different tables, and transitional credit is claimed against them, the tax payers get the message of “processed with error” when they save such details.
This happens because the application validates the furnished registration number under existing laws in TRAN 1 with the registration number mentioned in theregistration/enrolment application.
Hence, to claim transitional credit in respect of earlier registrations, one must first include them in his enrolment/registration details using the non-core amendment facility and then file TRAN 1.
While filing the application of non-core registration amendment with applicable signature following care must be taken
1) One should not use special characters (-, /) while adding new Service Tax No. /Central Excise No./VAT/TIN on the Business Details Tab.
2) One should ensure that there is no Duplicate e-mail/Phone No. used on promoter/partner or Authorized Signatory Tab.
3) One should see that the Service Accounting Code (SAC) provided during migration has been removed from the Master SAC List on Goods/Services Tab and new service codes are added.
4) One should ensure that the STD code is entered correctly in the filed indicated for it and not entered in the field for entering the local Telephone no. on Promoter/Partner, Authorized signatory, Principle place of Business and Additional place of business, if added.

Tax officials have asked about 5,000 companies, including some big manufacturers that figure in the BSE 500 list, to provide explanation on transition credit they claimed in July under GST.
The government´s move to debar directors of companies that have not filled annual returns for three successive years is likely to be challenged in courts citing retrospective application of the Companies Act, 2013.
SEBI proposed move to simplify category classifications of mutual fund schemes may lead to a change in the definition of balanced funds. Balanced funds in the past few years and unofficially insisting on a 50:50 equity-to-debt mix for new scheme approvals.
RBI came up with a discussion paper on peer-to-peer lending (P2P), seeking to regulate the fast emerging crowd funding platforms as the new financing model has assumed importance too significant to be ignored.
