The Commercial Taxes Department, Government of Puducherry has introduced a provision for online renewal of registration for the financial year 2010-2011.
This is in compliance with the Commercial Taxes Mission Mode Program published by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India that mandates State Governments and Union Territories to make provision for online services. This entails provision for online filing of applications for registrations, returns, payment of taxes, and issue of forms to facilitate and enable commercial establishments to file their returns.
This system is already in vogue in neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala
