GST Registration (Regular)

Every business whose annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh for goods or ₹40 lakh for services (₹10 lakh / ₹20 lakh for special category states) must take regular GST registration. Registration is also mandatory for businesses making inter-state supplies, e-commerce sellers operating on marketplaces like Amazon or Flipkart, and persons liable under the reverse charge mechanism. Even if your turnover is below the limit, you may voluntarily register to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) and appear more credible to large corporate buyers, so we always recommend confirming your liability with our Business Advisor before applying.

Regular registration allows you to collect tax on every invoice, claim Input Tax Credit on purchases, and freely make inter-state supplies. In return, you must file GSTR-3B (monthly for dealers above ₹5 crore turnover, quarterly otherwise) plus GSTR-1 for outward supplies. Composition Scheme is a simpler route for small businesses with turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75 lakh for services): you pay tax at a flat 1% or 6% rate on turnover and file just a quarterly CMP-08 return. The trade-off is that composition dealers cannot claim Input Tax Credit and cannot issue a tax invoice to claim ITC to buyers, so composition suits service traders, restaurants and small suppliers with minimal purchase-side ITC.

Once all your documents are submitted online and Aadhaar authentication is completed, the GST portal processes the application within 3 to 7 working days. After you submit Form REG-01, the portal generates an Application Reference Number (ARN) immediately and our team tracks it daily. If the tax officer asks for any clarification or additional documents, the clock may extend by a few more days, which is why we review every document before filing to avoid such queries. You receive your final GSTIN certificate directly on your registered email once your approval is granted.

Yes, ₹849 is our complete professional fee for regular GST registration. It covers document collection and review, preparation and submission of Form GST REG-01, Aadhaar and OTP authentication support, ARN generation, daily tracking until approval and delivery of your GSTIN certificate. There is no government fee charged by the GST portal for a new registration, so you pay only this one amount. If you later need other services like return filing or a new business gets additional registrations, you will be told the cost upfront as per our published price list before anyone proceeds.

For an individual or proprietor you need a PAN card, Aadhaar card, a passport-size photograph, proof of business address (such as electricity bill or rent agreement), and bank proof (cancelled cheque or a recent bank statement). For partnership firms, LLPs and companies, additional documents are needed: the partnership deed or certificate of incorporation, board resolution authorising a signatory, and the authorised partner/director details. We send you a one-line-by-one document checklist on WhatsApp and our advisor personally converts you through the whole list, so do not collect anything extra or wonder whether a document is acceptable - just send the suggested list and we will tell you if anything else is needed.

A GSTIN obtained from your state is valid across the whole of India for business operations. Only the registered place of business is tied to that state's jurisdiction. If you open a branch or warehouse in another state, additional registration must be obtained for that state. When you apply through GSTC INDIA GROUP, one GSTIN covers all your workplaces, e-commerce sites, and single registrations from anywhere in the country, so a Lucknow-registered firm may sell to customers in Mumbai, Delhi or Bangalore with zero extra registrations.
