Accounts and Records under GST

Today starting my next series on GST. GST-AAA. 3A stands for Accounting, Audit & Assessment. When I was reading Draft GST Rule on Accounts and Records, then realize, this time law is just not like a well written literature book complied by a group of authors having interest in philosophy, unaware about the business making law that will impact industry and whole nation.  Now it is practical; it is about business & accounting. Accounts & Records will be prime responsibility of everyone, from head office to branch office, from factory to warehouse, from job worker to transporter. Any Business Transaction would be like scent, whosoever will touch, fragrance or aroma will reveal his role in the transaction.  No Excuse will be entertained. Dealer has to ensure Safety of records. Just refer Rule 2 :

Proper electronic back-up of records shall be maintained and preserved in such manner that, in the event of destruction of such records due to accidents or natural causes, the information can be restored within reasonable period of time.

Also condition to maintain complete log of accounting entries will just not impact accountants, but also make other function heads of Purchase, Stores & Sales to forward documents in accounts at the earliest possible. Sales transactions would have to authenticated & final before an invoice is raised because now eyes of big boss (GST Authority) would be always over the system.

If some people have misunderstanding, that GST is only about accountants, need to refresh their thinking, it is about entire business. Directly or Indirectly all business activities would be affected. Thanks. [GstSutras6] [GstAAA1] #SukhF_GST
