In a move aimed at improving compliance under the goods and services tax (GST), manufacturers of pan masala and tobacco products would have to follow a new procedure for registration and filing monthly returns from April 1.

Based on a decision of the GST Council, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has notified a special procedure to be followed by a registered person engaged in manufacturing of these goods for the registration and disposal of packing machines.

The move is aimed at assessing the production and packaging facility of such units to ensure correct GST is paid as the sector is seen to be prone to evasion.
