Revised Qualification Criteria:
- Previously, candidates needed “twenty-five years of service in Group A, or equivalent.” However, this requirement has been relaxed.
- Now, candidates with “at least twenty-five years of service as a Gazetted Officer” in the Government are eligible for the position.
- This relaxation remains in effect for ten years from the notification’s publication date.
Additional Conditions:
- All other conditions outlined in clause (d) of sub-section (1) of section 110 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, stay the same.
This notification aims to ensure that the GST Appellate Tribunal includes highly qualified and experienced individuals. As a result, it seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the GST framework in Uttar Pradesh.
