My GST ARN status shows Pending for Clarification. What should I do?

This means the Tax Officer found an issue with your documents or application. You must log in to the GST portal and reply to the notice within 7 working days.

Why am I getting a System Error during my GST ARN track?

A system error during GST ARN track is usually a temporary technical glitch on the government portal. It does not mean your application is deleted or rejected.

Can I use the GST portal for an NRC ARN number check?

How to check ARN status if I lost the confirmation email?

What is the difference between GST ARN track and SRN tracking?

An ARN (Application Reference Number) is generated for GST applications submitted directly on the GST portal.
