Government Registration

GST Registration

Registration under GST, issuing a GSTIN against the business PAN and state. Registration is compulsory once turnover crosses the threshold for the state and category, and immediately for some businesses regardless of turnover: interstate suppliers of goods, e-commerce sellers and those liable under reverse charge.

What you get

  • Application filed on the GST portal with PAN, Aadhaar authentication and proof of place of business
  • Regular or composition scheme assessed against turnover and the nature of the supply
  • Separate registration handled per state where the business has a place of business
  • Additional places of business and godowns added to the registration
  • Aadhaar authentication completed to avoid the physical verification route
  • Amendment and cancellation filings handled after registration

How it works

  1. 1Confirm the registration is requiredTurnover thresholds differ for goods and services and by state. Interstate supply of goods and e-commerce selling require registration from the first rupee, so the threshold question does not arise there.
  2. 2Assemble proof of place of businessOwnership document or rent agreement with a recent utility bill, plus a no objection letter where the premises belong to someone else. This is the attachment that draws the most queries, so it is checked before filing rather than after.
  3. 3File and authenticateThe application is submitted and Aadhaar authentication completed for the signatory. Skipping authentication routes the file to physical verification of the premises, which takes longer.
  4. 4Answer any query and collect the GSTINThe officer may raise a query for clarification within the review period. Once cleared, the GSTIN and registration certificate issue, and the return filing obligation starts from that date.

FAQ

About gst registration

Is registration needed below the turnover threshold?

Not for a business supplying only within its own state and not selling through an e-commerce platform. Interstate supply of goods, e-commerce selling and liability under reverse charge all require registration irrespective of turnover, and voluntary registration is sometimes taken anyway so that business customers can claim input credit.

What happens after the GSTIN is issued?

Return filing begins immediately, including nil returns for months with no activity. A registration left unfiled accrues late fees per return and can be cancelled by the department, so registration is a commitment to a monthly or quarterly cycle rather than a one-time task.
