Quick answer

This page is the clarification. The application stays on the registration page. The bank account after the GSTIN stays on the Rule 10A page. Do not send the GST password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.

What the notice asks

Form GST REG-03 is a clarification on the registration application. The officer may ask about address proof, the trade name, or the documents. The reply is a formal response with the supporting documents, in Form GST REG-04, within 7 working days, on the portal. Use the date on the notice. Confirm that date before the reply is sent.

The Part-A TRN stays valid for 15 days. That clock is for completing the application. It is not the REG-03 reply. A site visit, if the officer orders one, is also a different step. Aadhaar authentication is often faster. If it is skipped, or if a site visit is ordered, approval takes longer.

What it is not

Form GST REG-06 is downloaded only after the officer approves. A clarification is not the certificate. Approval still rests with the officer. The bank account under Rule 10A is added after the GSTIN, and that period is a different one.

Form DRC-01B is a difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. That reply is within 7 days, on the DRC-01B page. A GSTR-2B difference is Form DRC-01C, on the mismatch page. Those notices come after returns are filed. REG-03 comes while the registration application is open.

Before the reply is sent

  1. Send the notice and the document it asks for. Use the date printed on it.
  2. The desk drafts Form GST REG-04 from those papers.
  3. You approve the reply. It is filed on the portal after that approval.
  4. Form GST REG-06 is downloaded only if the officer later approves.

GST registration support starts at ₹1,500 on the Coimbatore registration page. A clarification is quoted before the reply is filed. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.
