How to check supplier GST status

According to a new utility that has been introduced on the GST portal that shows status of last 10 returns filed by a taxpayer in the pre-login search taxpayer menu GSTN, the company developing the technology backbone for the new indirect regime, has developed a user friendly utility which will help buyers to check the tax payment status of their suppliers and make claiming input tax credit (ITC) easier.

Once GST identification number (GSTIN) is inserted in the system, it would shows taxpayer details like legal name, status (active or cancelled), and jurisdiction office.
It would also show status of last 10 filed returns. Under GST, the input tax credit (ITC) of a taxpayer gets confirmed on purchases from another registered taxpayer when that supplier files the return. Thus getting to know the return filing status of a taxpayer will be of great help to buyers.

The taxpayers are directed to an acknowledgement page once the taxpayer has successfully made the payment, they are provided with an ARN. Those who are thinking in the back of their heads ,what ARN is, it is the Application Reference Number which is provided to each taxpayer who files the GST return. They can track their returns using this ARN.

You should filed your returns timely, returns can be filed monthly or quarterly (GSTR3B and GSTR 1) and Claim input tax credit in GSTR 3B. However, it is now very important that the vendor from whom you have purchased goods or availed services files the GST return timely and also shows proper GST invoice details.
