Amid concerns over fake registrations and fraudulent availment of input tax credit under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, the GST Network (GSTN) on Friday made the geocoding functionality live for all states and union territories. Geocoding, which converts an address or description of a location into geographic coordinates, has been introduced to ensure the accuracy of address details in GSTN records and streamline the address location and verification process, it said in an update posted on its portal.
GST Network has already geocoded 1.8 crore principal places of businesses. The functionality is available for normal, composition, SEZ units, SEZ developers, input service distributor and casual taxpayers who are active, cancelled, and suspended.
