Purpose of the Notification:

Details of the Amendments:

1. Modification in Area Coverage:

Original Notification (June 19, 2017):

1. • Serial Number 7: The area mentioned was “Neemka Thana and Jhunjhunu and Behror, Bansur, Neemrana, Mandan and Narayanpur tehsils of district.”

Amended Notification (May 30, 2024):

1. • Serial Number 7: The area now reads “Neemka Thana, Jhunjhunu and” — This means the areas of Behror, Bansur, Neemrana, Mandan, and Narayanpur tehsils have been removed from this list.

Example:

1. • Suppose an officer was previously responsible for tax administration in Neemka Thana, Jhunjhunu, Behror, Bansur, Neemrana, Mandan, and Narayanpur. After this amendment, their jurisdiction now only includes Neemka Thana and Jhunjhunu. The other areas are no longer part of their responsibility.
2. Removal of Tehsils from Coverage:

Original Notification (June 19, 2017):

1. • Serial Number 49: The area included “Kotputli, Viratnagar and Shahpura tehsils of district Kotputli-Behror.”

Amended Notification (May 30, 2024):

1. • The tehsils “Kotputli, Viratnagar and Shahpura” are now removed from the list.

Example:

1. • If an officer was previously covering Kotputli, Viratnagar, and Shahpura for tax-related matters, they will no longer be responsible for these areas as they have been removed from their jurisdiction.

Summary:

• The amendments focus on reducing the number of tehsils and districts covered under the CGST Act for certain officers.
• Example Summary: An officer previously covering multiple areas including Neemka Thana and Jhunjhunu now only covers Neemka Thana and Jhunjhunu. Similarly, other officers lose jurisdiction over Kotputli, Viratnagar, and Shahpura.

This streamlining helps in focusing administrative resources and ensuring that areas of jurisdiction are clearly defined.
