Why do we need to add contact for business under SahiGST masters?
There are two primary reasons for anyone to add business contacts in SahiGST masters.
a) To pre-fill authorized signatory details when filing returns. PAN number of authorized signatory in case of DSC signing and Aadhaar number in case of eSign is required. If business masters in SahiGST is populated with these details, you won’t need to enter these details manually each time when a return is being filed.
b) In case an organisation has multiple units across different locations with different contacts managing them, assigned contacts can help communication between different personnel managing return filings for a business. This also helps in case of a CA / Client setup where different finance executives from client office can be added as contacts in the business details for ready reference.
To add contact details for each business, we have to click on the Masters from navigation bar.
