Apply for GST Registration
India’s tax system underwent a major transformation with the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, 2017. GST brought together various indirect taxes under a single umbrella, simplifying the taxation process for businesses across the country. One of the most important steps in becoming compliant with GST laws is registration under GST.
Registration under GST means enrolling your business with the Goods and Services Tax Department to obtain a unique identification number known as the GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number). This 15-digit number allows a business to legally collect tax from customers and claim input tax credit on purchases.
Once a business is registered under GST, it becomes a recognized taxpayer and must comply with GST rules such as filing returns, issuing GST-compliant invoices, and maintaining proper records.
If your annual turnover exceeds the limit set by the government, you must register.
For goods:
For services:
If you supply goods or services from one state to another, you must register regardless of turnover.
If you sell goods or services through an e-commerce platform (like Amazon or Flipkart), registration under GST is compulsory.
Temporary businesses like those set up during exhibitions or fairs also need to register.
Non-residents doing business in India must register under GST before starting operations.
Companies that distribute the credit of input services among other branches need GST registration.
If you are liable to pay tax under the reverse charge mechanism, registration is mandatory.
You can apply for GST registration online through the government’s GST portal. Here are the steps:
Go to the official GST website and click on “Register Now” under the Services tab.
Enter basic details such as your PAN, mobile number, and email. You will receive an OTP for verification.
After verification, you will receive a TRN. This allows you to fill in the rest of the application.
Provide detailed information about your business, including address, bank details, and upload required documents.
After submission, the application is verified by the GST department. If everything is correct, you will receive your GSTIN within 7 working days.
Once your application is approved, you will be issued a GST registration certificate. This certificate must be displayed at your place of business. It contains your GSTIN, legal name, address, date of registration, and business type.
If there is any change in your business details — such as a change in address, business name, or addition of a branch — you must update your registration. The amendment process is also done online, and in most cases, approval is granted within 15 days.
GST registration can be cancelled voluntarily or by the tax officer in the following cases:
After cancellation, you must file a final return. If you plan to restart the business, you will need to apply for fresh registration.
Failure to register under GST when required can lead to severe penalties:
Apart from penalties, you may also lose input tax credit and face legal consequences.
