Further, whether the Bank is supposed to deduct TDS even if the the Firm declares that it is not Registered under GST ?

But on the GST Portal we still cannot see registration thru TAN , as only PAN is reflecting on Registration page.
Govt has only given starting date of 18/9/2017 without opening registration page thru TAN.
Pl. let us know how to follow the rules as per notification without registration.?
