DG Blueprint- Practitioner I June 2026: Specified Premises Declaration is now live on the GST Portal — but the form, timeline and eligibility differ depending on the taxpayer’s status.
GSTN has enabled electronic filing of opt-in declarations for hotel accommodation service providers under Notification No. 05/2025-Central Tax (Rate).
The infographic below maps the complete framework in one view:
✔ Who can opt in
✔ Annexure VII, VIII and IX
✔ Filing window for existing taxpayers
✔ 15-day timeline for new registration applicants
✔ Portal filing process
✔ Premises-wise limits
✔ Continuity of option
✔ Treatment of active, suspended and cancelled registrations
Key takeaway
Existing registered person
Annexure VII | 1 January to 31 March | For the succeeding financial year
New registration applicant
Annexure VIII | Within 15 days from ARN generation | Effective from the date of registration
Once opted in, the option continues for subsequent financial years unless Annexure IX is filed for opting out.
For FY 2026–27, the Annexure VII filing window is:
1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026
A structured legal map can often explain in one minute what a long advisory takes several pages to communicate.

👉 Must Watch Lecture 10 - going live this week. Get yours concept clear - grab your UNFAIR ADVANTAGE IN GST.
Quick question before you scroll past 👇
You start a business online. Do YOU pay the GST… or does the platform? 🤔
Most students answer in 2 seconds. Most students are wrong. 😏
Because the answer flips completely depending on ONE choice — and almost no lecture breaks it down practically. We do. At length. 🔥
We walk two real journeys every entrepreneur actually faces 👇
🏷️ Case 1 — You build your own BRAND + your own ECO.You're the seller. You're also the platform. Threshold or compulsory registration? Who registers? Who pays? 👀 It's not what most people assume.
🛒 Case 2 — You go the BAZAAR route — listing on someone else's marketplace (Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato-type ECO).Now Sec. 9(5) walks in. 🚪 The platform becomes the DEEMED SUPPLIER — you sell, but the ECO pays your GST.🤯And in other supplies? Same platform, opposite role — the ECO doesn't pay a rupee… it just collects TCS, and you stay liable. ⚖️
Two journeys. Two opposite outcomes. One razor-thin line between them. 🪡
But here's the real twist 👇 How does GST actually SEE you? 🧠A candidate eligible for threshold registration… or one dragged into compulsory registration? 🎭And in the marketplace — who does the GST Authority really come after… you, the supplier — or the platform? 👁️
That's the whole game. And this lecture unfolds it — structured so you don't just understand it, you retain it. 🔒
📜 Plus: the right way to read Sec. 24 for e-commerce, so its clauses finally click instead of melting into each other.
If you've ever confused "ECO pays GST" with "ECO collects TCS" — this lecture locks it permanently. ✅

Most IDT compilations hand you the section and the ICAI answer. Copy. Paste. Done.
You memorise someone else's words — then pray the examiner frames the levy question exactly the way you saw it. ⚡
This isn't that.
The Charging Section — the provision that creates the levy under GST — from IDT EDGE by CA Deepak Guptais curated, not compiled. Here's what that means in practice:
→ Past exam questions — with author analysis layered on top. Not just the suggested answer, but why the levy attaches where it does — so you can crack a twist you've never seen before.
→ The charge, decoded from first principles. Taxable event, supply, person liable, rate, value — mapped as a clean chain, not loose rules. You'll know exactly what to state first and where the marks actually sit.
→ Forward charge vs RCM, settled. When the liability shifts, why, and how to defend your answer when ICAI poses it the hard way — the direction the new exam trend is clearly moving.
→ You learn how to write the answer — not just read it. Structure, sequence, the legal skeleton. Because knowing the law and presenting it under exam pressure are two different skills.
Fully-solved, exam-tested questions. Updated to current law — built to solve the CA Final Jan 2026 and May 2026papers, not just the old ones.
Hours of curation went in, so your effort goes into understanding — not hunting.
This isn't a compilation.

This single visual converts Section 28 + Rule 19 from scattered provisions into a decision architecture you can revise in minutes.
📌 Core vs Non-Core
📌 REG-14 → REG-15 → REG-03 → REG-04 → REG-05
📌 Deemed Amendment Logic
📌 Effective Date Rules
📌 PO Approval Framework
If you can see the architecture, you can remember the law.
NEW BATCH — The Deep-Learning Batch
For students who:
✔ Keep getting stuck around 40–50 marks
✔ Know provisions but cannot apply them
✔ Want conceptual clarity instead of shortcut learning
We don't teach chapters.
We build legal architecture inside your mind.
📍 Batch launch announcement shortly.
If you have time, the reward will be knowledge.
If you have discipline, the reward will be success.
Stay tuned.

Past exam questions + a lot more than that. ⚡
Most IDT compilations stop at the question and the ICAI suggested answer. Copy. Paste. Done. You're left memorising someone else's words and hoping the examiner asks it the same way.
This isn't that.
Chapter 8.2 — Appeals & Revision from IDT EDGE by CA Deepak Gupta is curated, not compiled. Here's what that actually means:
→ Past exam questions — and author analysis on top. Not just the answer, but the reasoning behind it, so you can solve a variation you've never seen before.
→ Every pre-deposit cap, mapped out. AA and Tribunal, CGST and IGST (₹20 Cr / ₹40 Cr), admitted vs disputed — with full computation tables, not vague rules.
→ The 6%-vs-9% interest fight, settled. With legal and logical reasoning — a clean four-step skeleton (Trigger → Borrowing → Eliminate 9% → Conclude). The author even shows where ICAI's own answer applied 9% flat, and explains why that's not the sound view.
→ You learn how to write the answer — not just read it. Structure, sequence, what to state first, where the marks sit.
This is the difference between knowing the law and being able to present it under exam pressure.
20 fully-solved, exam-tested questions. Updated to current law. Solves the CA Final Jan 2026 and May 2026 papers, not just the old ones.
Hours of effort went into curating this — so your effort goes into understanding, not hunting.
This isn't a compilation. It's an unfair advantage in IDT.

I rewrote my entire Registration Question Bank for CA Final Nov 2026/ May 2027 — every answer aligned to the law as it stands TODAY (Rule 9A, Rule 14A w.e.f. 01.11.2025, Sec 16(6) retro from 2017). Most material in the market is still aligned with updated law and process flow.
my completely rebuilt CA Final GST Question Bank — Chapter 4.1: Registration 📘
This isn't a reprint. Every single Q&A has been re-engineered:
✅ Exam-grade answers — proper Provision → Analysis → Conclusion format, written exactly how the examiner wants to read them
✅ Fully updated for the latest amendments — Rule 9A (electronic grant), Rule 14A (₹2.5L simplified registration + the REG-32/33 withdrawal maze), Sec 16(6) ITC rescue, current revocation timelines (90+180 days)
✅ Memory Cues after every answer — revision hooks so the law sticks when it matters: in the exam hall
✅ The traps nobody teaches — Gate ≠ Ration (Rule 14A), the 2B blackout, why "exclusively" in Sec 23(1)(a) breaks with one taxable rupee, why NIL returns won't save a voluntary registrant
✅ Scenario-based questions built the way ICAI now examines — not definition-vomit
Built over weeks of cross-referencing bare law, rules, notifications, circulars and ICAI material — so my students don't have to.

📘 A Bare Act is not always "bare".
One challenge students face while reading legislation is that every subsection appears equally important.
To address this, I have started adding concept-based essence headings before statutory provisions.
The objective is simple:
🔹 Identify the legal purpose of each provision instantly
🔹 Improve first-reading comprehension
🔹 Create a mental map before studying the language of law
🔹 Reduce dependence on rote memorisation
The statutory text remains untouched.
Only the navigation layer has been added.
For example:
Instead of reading a provision as merely "Section 25(6A)", the student first sees:
"Mandatory Aadhaar Authentication for Registration Validity"
The law remains the same.
Understanding becomes faster.
Sometimes a small heading can save hours of confusion.

Three founders. One crosses ₹40L organically, one buys a running firm, one merges via NCLT. All three are "liable to register." Not one of them registers the same way.
And here's what almost everyone misses: Section 22 can make you liable even when you've crossed NO threshold at all. Do you know when? 👇
Most people read Section 22 as a single line: "cross the turnover limit, register." That's only Route 1. The section actually opens three doors — and two of them ignore your turnover completely.
🏗️ Route 1 — BUILD [Sec 22(1)]
You start a business from scratch. Liability triggers the day your aggregate turnover crosses ₹10L / ₹20L / ₹40L during the FY. Fresh ITC on opening stock via ITC-01 — but the 1-year invoice cap applies, so old stock invoices can silently kill your credit.
🤝 Route 2 — BUY [Sec 22(3)]
You acquire a running business by sale, gift, lease, or succession. Here's the twist — liability hits on the date of transfer itself. Turnover is irrelevant. You step into the transferor's shoes: ITC migrates via ITC-02 (no 1-year cap), and under Sec 85, transferor and transferee are jointly and severally liable for pre-transfer dues. You can inherit someone else's tax baggage on day one.
🧩 Route 3 — MERGE [Sec 22(4)]
Amalgamation or demerger sanctioned by the NCLT. Again — no threshold needed. Liability attaches to the date the RoC issues the certificate of incorporation giving effect to the order. Full ledger balance migrates (demerger splits ITC by asset-ratio), and Sec 87 governs the messy interim period between effective date and order date.
So — when does Section 22 make you liable WITHOUT crossing any threshold?
The moment you buy or succeed to a business [22(3)], or the moment a merger/demerger is sanctioned [22(4)]. In both, the trigger is an event, not a number. Turnover doesn't enter the room.
Same section. Three trigger logics. Three ITC mechanics. Three liability dates. Confusing them is exactly how clean transactions turn into notices.
