GSTIN on Sign Boards ? How about other 16 ?

Business Line ( 11 July ) carries following report :

Businesses must display GSTIN on sign boards

Traders and businesses will have to display the GST registration number on their business sign boards and the registration certificate in their premises.

 “Every taxable person is required to display his GSTIN number on name board or sign board of business and is also required to display his registration certificate in business premises so that a citizen can easily find out whether a person is registered or not,” a tax official said.

The Goods and Services Taxpayer Identification Number (GSTIN) is a 15-digit number which taxpayers get after registering with the GST network portal.
