GST Registration Online: Get Your GSTIN with the Right Details

Find out whether you must register, apply on the GST portal with the correct business details and receive your GSTIN.

Get Started Today

GST registration is the process of enrolling your business on the GST portal so that it receives a 15-character GSTIN and can lawfully charge tax, issue tax invoices and claim input tax credit. It is needed by businesses whose turnover crosses the prescribed threshold, by certain categories that must register irrespective of turnover, and by anyone who chooses to register voluntarily. Our team checks whether registration is required in your case, prepares the application with the right constitution, place of business and activity details, and follows the file through officer queries until the certificate is issued.

Who Needs GST Registration?

  • Businesses whose supplies or turnover have reached the level where GST registration becomes mandatory
  • Sellers on online marketplaces who supply goods through an e-commerce operator
  • Traders and service providers who supply across state lines and want to do so lawfully
  • Start-ups and small businesses that sell to GST-registered buyers who need tax invoices and input tax credit
  • Persons who want to register voluntarily to build credibility or claim credit on business purchases

How It Works

  1. Check whether you need to register

    We look at what you supply, where you sell, whether you use e-commerce platforms and your turnover, and tell you whether registration is mandatory now, voluntary or better deferred.

  2. Decide state, constitution and scheme

    GST registration is state-wise per PAN, so we confirm the states you operate from, match the constitution with your PAN, and discuss composition versus regular registration where you are eligible.

  3. Prepare documents and Part A

    We verify the business PAN, mobile number and email of the authorised signatory through the portal, generate the temporary reference number and collect your business, address and bank documents.

  4. File Part B of the application

    We enter business details, place of business, goods or services, promoter and authorised signatory data, upload documents and complete verification, which produces an Application Reference Number.

  5. Respond to officer queries

    If the officer seeks clarification or additional proof on the portal, we prepare the reply with supporting papers, and where the department asks for it, we coordinate the premises verification.

  6. Receive GSTIN and start compliance

    Once approved, you receive the GSTIN and certificate. We then help you set up tax invoices, the return calendar and, if needed, the e-invoicing and e-way bill requirements applicable to you.

Documents Required

  • PAN of the proprietor, partnership firm, LLP or company
  • Aadhaar and PAN of the proprietor, partners, directors or other authorised signatory
  • Passport-size photographs of the proprietor, partners or directors
  • Proof of constitution, such as partnership deed, LLP agreement or certificate of incorporation with MOA and AOA
  • Proof of the principal place of business, such as a rent agreement with the owner’s no-objection letter, or an ownership paper
  • Latest electricity bill or property tax receipt for the business premises
  • Bank account details, shown by a cancelled cheque or the first page of the passbook or statement
  • Authorisation letter or board resolution naming the authorised signatory
  • Digital signature certificate, where the entity is a company or LLP

Timeline and Fees

Indicative timeline: Indicative range of a few working days to a couple of weeks from a complete application. The time depends on the tax officer, any clarification request and whether premises verification is ordered.

Professional fee: There is no government fee for applying for a GSTIN on the portal. Our professional fee depends on the type of entity, the number of states or additional places of business and whether return filing is taken up afterwards. Contact our team for a written quote.

What Can Go Wrong if This Is Missed or Done Incorrectly

  • Supplying taxable goods or services while required to be registered can attract tax, interest and a penalty
  • You cannot lawfully collect GST or issue a tax invoice until the GSTIN is in place
  • Buyers cannot claim input tax credit on purchases from an unregistered supplier, which affects your sales
  • Wrong constitution or address details can lead to rejection or an expensive amendment process later

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GST registration compulsory for every business?

No. Registration is compulsory when your aggregate turnover crosses the threshold that applies to you, and for certain categories regardless of turnover, such as many inter-state suppliers of goods and persons required to pay tax under reverse charge. Thresholds differ by supply type and state, so we confirm the current position on the GST portal.

Do online sellers on Amazon or Flipkart need GST registration?

Generally yes. Sellers who supply goods through an e-commerce operator typically must register irrespective of turnover, though specific exemptions are notified for some small intra-state sellers. Because these exemptions are narrow and conditional, we review your product category and selling states before telling you whether you can avoid registering.

Which documents are needed for GST registration for a proprietorship?

The proprietor’s PAN and Aadhaar, a photograph, proof of the business address such as a rent agreement or electricity bill, and bank account proof are the core documents. Where the premises are rented, the owner’s consent letter is also asked for. A partnership or company needs its constitution documents in addition.

How long does GST registration take and why do applications get delayed?

It commonly takes several working days when documents are clean, but timing depends on the tax officer. Delays usually come from mismatched names across PAN and address proof, unclear rental documents, an unverifiable business premises, or Aadhaar authentication that was not completed. Clearing these upfront shortens the process.

Can I take GST registration without a shop or office?

You still need a valid principal place of business, which can sometimes be a residence used for the business, supported by an ownership or consent document and a utility bill. A premises with no verifiable address, or a place that the officer finds unrelated to the business during inspection, is a common reason for rejection.

What can I do after getting GSTIN and what must I start doing?

You can issue tax invoices, charge GST and claim input tax credit on eligible purchases. You must also file periodic returns even when there is no business activity, display the certificate at your place of business and show the GSTIN on your signboard. Missing returns soon after registration is a common early mistake.
