A
Good Beginning : Make it
Better
News papers , two days back, carried half page advts by
DIPP
It ( partly ) reads :
“ A new simplified
procedure for incorporating a Company through SPICe Form , facilitating
allotment of PAN , TAN , Name Reservation as well as Director’s Identification
Number ( DIN ) has made company incorporation easier “
On 12 May 2016 , I sent
following email to the Cabinet Ministers :
How many types of NUMBERS, do
Indian Companies need to register and acquire , to do business ?
Writing in MINT ( 02 May 2016 ), Narayan Ramchandran quotes Manish
Sabharwal , who has researched and listed the following :
# Corporate Identity
Number........................................... ( 21 digits )
# Tax-payer
Identification Number for commercial taxes...... ( 11 digits )
# Service Tax

=============================
Now , CBDT and MCA are in the process
of integrating their back-end operations , to provide ONE SIMPLE IDENTITY to
companies, doing away with the above multiple numbers
Without doubt , this long overdue
simplification will make it easy to do business in India
But , it seems , that each State will
have unique number ( for each Company registered in its territory ), as far as
GST is concerned
I urge the readers to forward this
suggestion to :
