  5. Kindly Help. The CBEC has come up with New Centre Jurisdictions for Delhi which they have uploaded on their own website. Earlier the Centre jurisdiction was based on First character of Tax Assesee name, but now they have made it geographical, dividing Delhi in North South East West and so on. For Example my Centre Jurisdiction Details are as follows:
    Range Name: Range 167
    Range Code: ZK0702
    Division Name: Nehru Place New
    Division Code: ZK-07
    Commissionerate Name: Delhi East New
    Commissionerate Code: ZK
    But the above details ARE NOT AVAILABLE on the GST New Registration Portal. There, the old system of Delhi-1, 2 and so on is being followed.
    The link in the GST portal to ‘Know your Central Jurisdiction’ takes to the cbec website which has the latest jurisdiction codes, as mentioned above. But it has not been updated on the GST PORTAL.

    • No need. You’ll have to upload: Individual documents like:
      PAN card and ID proof of the individual.
      Copy of Cancelled cheque or bank statement (Savings account is OK).
      You can work from home and can upload electricity/property bill copy, or upload the PDF of sale deed copy.
