What is GST Registration?
GST registration is the process through which a business or person required or eligible to register obtains registration under India’s Goods and Services Tax system and, where applicable, a Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN).
Whether registration is required depends on applicable law, turnover, the nature of supplies and other relevant circumstances.
Why is it important?
Businesses required to register must follow the relevant GST requirements. Registration may also enable access to GST-related facilities and compliance processes available under applicable law.

Can I start my enquiry online?
Yes. You can contact BizDok online through WhatsApp or the enquiry form. Share basic details about your business so that the relevant process can be discussed.
Does submitting this form complete GST registration?
No. Submitting an enquiry form only starts the consultation process. GST registration requires a separate application through the official GST portal and completion of the applicable verification process.
How long does GST registration take?
Processing time can vary depending on the application, document verification and whether the GST department raises any clarification or additional information request. Approval is subject to the department’s process.
Can a proprietorship firm apply for GST registration?
Yes. A proprietorship business can apply for GST registration when registration is required or when voluntary registration is permitted under applicable rules.
Can I apply for GST registration voluntarily?
Voluntary GST registration may be available to eligible businesses even when they are below the applicable registration threshold. Registered taxpayers must follow the relevant GST compliance requirements.
Do online sellers need GST registration?
GST requirements for sellers using e-commerce platforms depend on the type of supply, platform arrangement and applicable GST provisions. Certain eligible small suppliers may have specific exemptions subject to prescribed conditions. The case should be checked before applying.
Can I use my residential address as my business address?
A residential address may be used as the principal place of business where the applicant has the required legal basis to use the premises and can provide the applicable address proof.
Is Aadhaar authentication required for GST registration?
Aadhaar authentication is part of the GST registration verification process for applicants covered by the applicable provisions. Alternative verification procedures may apply in certain circumstances.
Does GST registration need to be renewed every year?
Regular GST registration generally does not require annual renewal. However, taxpayers must maintain applicable GST compliance. Special categories of registration may have different validity conditions.
