Certificate Holders (P.T.R.C) file their returns electronically. Accordingly,
they shall continue with the current procedure of filing of electronic returns
by putting GIN generated from GRAS.
2(ii). Whereas the facility of
making electronic payment through GRAS is available to the dealers under The
