Setting up an Authority for Advance Rulings (Central Excise, Customs & Service Tax) to give binding rulings, in advance, on Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax matters pertaining to an investment venture in India is one such measure.

An applicant can apply for advance ruling even before taking up a transaction (proposed supply of goods or services) or in respect of a supply which is being undertaken. The only restriction is that the question being raised is already not pending or decided in any proceedings in the case of applicant. Application for advance ruling will not be admitted in cases where the question raised in the application is already pending or decided in any proceedings in the case of an applicant under any of the provisions of this Act. Sec.103 of the CGST Act, 2017/ IGST Act, 2017 provides that an advance ruling pronounced by Authority for advance ruling (AAR) or Appellate authority for advance ruling (AAAR) shall be binding only on the applicant who sought it in respect of any matter referred to in sec. 97 (2) of the CGST Act, 2017/ IGST Act, 2017 and on the jurisdictional tax authority of the applicant. This clearly means that an advance ruling is not applicable to similarly placed taxable persons in the State. It is only limited to the person who has applied for an advance ruling.
Unlike old Central indirect taxes (Central Excise, service tax) wherein ruling can be sought only on proposed transactions, GST laws provide an advance ruling on all types of transactions whether it is proposed or already occurred.
