UIN Registration
Unique Identification Number (UIN) registration under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework is a specialized process designed for specific entities such as foreign diplomatic missions, embassies, and international organizations operating within India. These entities are exempt from indirect taxation, and the UIN facilitates the refund of taxes paid on their inward supplies.
Purpose and Benefits of UIN
The primary purpose of obtaining a UIN is to enable these entities to claim refunds on the GST paid for goods and services procured within India. This mechanism ensures that diplomatic missions and international organizations do not bear the burden of indirect taxes, aligning with international diplomatic practices.

Eligibility for UIN Registration
Entities eligible to apply for a UIN include:
> Specialized agencies of the United Nations Organization (UNO)
> Multilateral financial institutions and organizations notified under the United Nations (Privileges and Immunities) Act, 1947
> Consulates or embassies of foreign countries
> Any other person or class of persons as notified by the Commissioner
These organizations can apply for a UIN using Form GST REG-13. Upon satisfactory verification, a UIN is assigned, and a certificate in Form GST REG-06 is issued within three working days from the date of application submission.
Compliance Requirements for UIN Holders
UIN holders are required to file GSTR-11 by the 28th of the subsequent month to claim refunds on taxes paid for inward supplies. This return contains details of such supplies and is auto-populated from the supplier's GSTR-1. It's crucial to note that refund claims must be filed within six months from the last day of the quarter in which the supply was received
Responsibilities of Suppliers to UIN Holders
Suppliers providing goods or services to UIN holders must:
> Mention the UIN on invoices
> Treat such sales as Business-to-Business (B2B) supplies
This ensures that the supplies are appropriately documented, facilitating seamless refund processes for the UIN holders.
