The SoP has been issued as as an interim measure till the time a Scrutiny Module for online scrutiny of returns is made available on the CBIC-GST application.
The SOP is being issued by the Board in order to ensure uniformity in selection/ identification of returns for scrutiny, methodology of scrutiny of such returns and other related procedures.
As per SoP, the selection of returns for scrutiny is to be based on specific risk parameters.

DGARM would also provide some relevant data (along with likely revenue implication) pertaining to the returns to be scrutinized through the DDM portal.
Once the list of GSTINs, whose returns have been selected for scrutiny, is communicated to the field formations, the proper officer, with the approval of the divisional Assistant / Deputy Commissioner, shall finalize a scrutiny schedule specifying month-wise schedule for scrutiny in respect of all the GSTINs selected for scrutiny.
