Register under India’s unified indirect tax system, and start billing compliantly
GST (Goods and Services Tax) Registration is the process of registering a business under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 with the GST department, obtaining a unique 15-digit GSTIN (GST Identification Number). It’s mandatory once your business crosses prescribed turnover thresholds, and for several categories of business regardless of turnover.
We handle end-to-end registration — application, document preparation, ARN tracking, and responding to any department queries — so you’re GSTIN-ready without delays.
Who must register
| Threshold / condition | |
|---|---|
| Goods suppliers | Turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for special category states) |
| Service providers | Turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for special category states) |
| Inter-state suppliers | Mandatory regardless of turnover |
| E-commerce sellers | Mandatory regardless of turnover, when selling through an e-commerce operator |
| Casual taxable persons | Mandatory, for occasional/seasonal business in a state |
| Voluntary registration | Optional below threshold — often taken to claim input tax credit or trade with GST-registered buyers |
Registration types you may need
| Regular | Composition Scheme | Casual Taxable Person | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Most regular businesses | Small businesses wanting simplified compliance | Occasional/seasonal sellers in a state without a fixed place of business |
| Tax rate | Standard GST rates by category | Fixed low rate on turnover, no input tax credit | Standard GST rates |
| Turnover cap | No cap | Up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75 lakh for some states) | Not applicable |
| Return filing | Monthly/quarterly | Quarterly, with a simplified annual return | Advance tax deposit + return for the registration period |
Typical timeline: 3–7 working days from application if documents are in order; may extend if the officer raises a clarification query or requires physical verification of the business premises.
Step 1 — Eligibility and registration type
We confirm whether registration is mandatory or voluntary for you, and which type fits — Regular, Composition Scheme, or Casual Taxable Person — based on turnover, business nature, and interstate activity.
Step 2 — Document preparation
PAN, business constitution proof, address proof, bank details, and authorised signatory documents are compiled and formatted per GST portal requirements.
Step 3 — Application filing (Part A)
A GST REG-01 application is initiated on the GST portal with PAN, mobile number, and email, verified via OTP — this generates a Temporary Reference Number (TRN).
Step 4 — Application filing (Part B)
Using the TRN, the full application is completed with business details, promoter/partner details, principal place of business, additional places of business, goods/services description (HSN/SAC codes), and bank account details, along with supporting document uploads.
Step 5 — Aadhaar authentication
Aadhaar authentication of the promoter/partner/authorised signatory is completed online; where authentication fails or isn’t opted for, physical verification of the business premises by a GST officer may be triggered instead.
Step 6 — ARN generation and tracking
On submission, an Application Reference Number (ARN) is generated. We track application status and respond promptly to any Form GST REG-03 clarification notices raised by the officer.
Step 7 — GSTIN and Registration Certificate
On approval, a 15-digit GSTIN is allotted and the Registration Certificate (Form GST REG-06) is issued, downloadable from the GST portal.
Step 8 — Post-registration setup
Invoicing format compliance (GST-compliant tax invoices), GST-compliant accounting setup, e-way bill portal registration (if applicable), and return filing calendar setup based on your registration type and turnover.

Notes
Legal authority to collect and remit tax
GST registration is what legally allows a business to collect GST from customers, issue GST-compliant invoices, and remit tax to the government — operating without it, when required, invites penalties.
Input tax credit eligibility
Registered businesses can claim credit for GST paid on purchases and expenses, directly reducing tax outflow — a benefit unregistered businesses simply forgo.
Access to interstate and e-commerce trade
GST registration is mandatory for interstate supply and selling through e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, etc.) — without it, these channels are closed off entirely.
Required for most B2B relationships
Larger businesses and corporates generally only purchase from GST-registered vendors, since they need a valid GSTIN on invoices to claim their own input tax credit — unregistered suppliers are frequently excluded from B2B procurement.
Builds credibility and formal standing
A GSTIN signals a formally compliant business to customers, vendors, and lenders, and is frequently requested during bank loan processing, tender applications, and vendor onboarding.
Enables business expansion
Registration is a prerequisite for growth triggers like opening branches in other states, participating in government tenders, and exporting goods or services (along with the relevant export-related GST provisions).
Avoids penalties for non-compliance
Operating above the mandatory threshold without registration attracts penalties — typically the tax due plus a penalty amount, whichever is higher — making timely registration considerably cheaper than the cost of non-compliance.
Composition Scheme option for small businesses
Eligible small businesses can opt for the Composition Scheme, trading input tax credit for significantly simpler quarterly compliance and a lower fixed tax rate — useful for businesses with primarily retail/B2C sales.
