Before creating a registration application, verify whether your business falls under voluntary registration, aggregate turnover threshold, or mandatory Section 24 registration.
Registration is legally compulsory before making the first transaction if you are:
Prepare all documents in clear PDF or JPEG format (under 100 KB for photos, under 1 MB for address proofs) according to your legal constitution:
| Business Structure | Promoter & Identity Documents | Place of Business Proofs | Entity Documents |

Part-A initiates the basic portal identity verification on gst.gov.in.
Navigate to gst.gov.in → Click Services → Registration → New Registration.
Enter the separate OTPs received on mobile and email. Upon validation, the portal generates a 15-digit Temporary Reference Number (TRN) sent to your email. The TRN remains valid for 15 days.
Log in using TRN to complete the 10-tab application form (Form GST REG-01):
Enter Trade Name, Constitution of Business, Reason to obtain registration (e.g. Crossing Threshold / Voluntary), Date of commencement, and accurately select your Ward / Circle / Range (State Jurisdiction) and Division / Range (Center Jurisdiction).
Fill personal profiles, DIN, residential addresses, and upload passport-size photographs. Assign the primary Authorized Signatory and upload the authorization letter or board resolution.
Enter complete address with correct PIN code, latitude/longitude map coordinates, and contact email. Select ownership nature (Owned / Rented / Shared / Consent). Upload the electricity bill (under 1 MB PDF) along with the signed Rent Agreement and Landlord NOC.
Specify the top 5 goods or services supplied by your business. Search by commodity description and attach the precise 4-digit or 6-digit HSN / 6-digit SAC code.
Opt for Aadhaar Authentication on the portal. An authentication link is instantly emailed to the primary authorized signatory. Click the link, enter Aadhaar number, and validate via OTP. This fast-tracks approval to 3–7 working days without physical inspection.
Sign the declaration using Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for Companies and LLPs, or Aadhaar OTP (EVC) for Proprietorships and Partnerships. The portal immediately generates the Application Reference Number (ARN).
Track ARN status under Services → Track Application Status. Upon jurisdictional officer approval, you will receive your 15-digit GSTIN and initial portal password via email. Download your official 3-page Registration Certificate (Form GST REG-06) from the dashboard.
Avoid delays and rejection notices. Future Tax manages documentation, jurisdiction mapping, and HSN setup with full CA verification.
For businesses supplying goods, GST registration is mandatory if annual aggregate turnover exceeds ₹40 Lakhs (₹20 Lakhs in special category states). For service providers and professionals, the threshold is ₹20 Lakhs (₹10 Lakhs in special category states).
Mandatory GST registration applies regardless of turnover to: e-commerce sellers (Amazon, Flipkart), inter-state suppliers of goods, exporters, persons liable to pay reverse charge (RCM), casual taxable persons, and input service distributors (ISD).
With successful Aadhaar authentication, GST registration is typically approved within 3 to 7 working days. If Aadhaar authentication is skipped or a site verification is ordered, approval may take up to 30 working days.
Yes. You can register your residential premises as the Principal Place of Business by providing an electricity bill, property tax receipt, and a consent letter (NOC) from the property owner along with your Aadhaar card.
