GST Registration Guide
Everything you need to know about registering your business under GST — eligibility, documents, process, GSTIN structure, and costs.
What is GST Registration?
GST registration is the process by which a business obtains a unique 15-digit Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN). This number authorizes the business to collect GST from customers, claim input tax credit on purchases, and legally operate as a registered taxpayer under India's GST law.
Who Needs to Register for GST?
- Businesses supplying goods with annual turnover above ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh in special category states)
- Service providers with annual turnover above ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states)
- Anyone making inter-state taxable supply, regardless of turnover
- E-commerce operators and sellers on e-commerce platforms
- Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons
- Businesses required to pay tax under reverse charge
- Input Service Distributors
Documents Required for GST Registration
- PAN Card — of the business entity or individual applicant
- Aadhaar Card — for identity verification and e-KYC
- Proof of Business Address — utility bill, rent agreement, or NOC from owner
- Bank Account Proof — cancelled cheque, bank statement, or passbook first page
- Photograph — of proprietor, partners, or directors
- Business Constitution Proof — partnership deed, incorporation certificate, or registration certificate
- Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) — mandatory for companies and LLPs
- Authorization Letter / Board Resolution — for the authorized signatory
Types of GST Registration

Step-by-Step GST Registration Process
- Check Eligibility — confirm turnover or category requires registration
- Part A of Form GST REG-01 — submit PAN, mobile, and email; receive a Temporary Reference Number (TRN)
- Part B of Form GST REG-01 — log in with TRN and upload required documents
- Aadhaar Authentication — e-KYC verification, or physical verification if authentication fails
- ARN Generated — Application Reference Number issued for tracking
- Officer Review — approved automatically or queried for clarification (Form GST REG-03)
- GSTIN & Certificate Issued — Form GST REG-06 issued upon approval
Understanding the GSTIN Structure
The 15-digit GSTIN is structured as follows:
- Digits 1–2: State code
- Digits 3–12: PAN of the business
- Digit 13: Entity code (number of registrations under same PAN in the state)
- Digit 14: Default "Z"
- Digit 15: Checksum digit
GST Registration Fees
Registering directly through the official GST portal (gst.gov.in) is free of cost — there is no government fee. Amounts charged by tax consultants or platforms are professional service fees for handling documentation, filing, and follow-up, not statutory charges.
Compliance After Registration
- Filing GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and GSTR-3B (summary return) monthly or quarterly
- Maintaining proper books of accounts and tax invoices
- Displaying GSTIN on invoices and at the place of business
- Filing annual return (GSTR-9) where applicable
