What is GST registration?
GST registration gives your business a 15-digit GST Identification Number (GSTIN). With a GSTIN you can charge GST on your bills, claim input tax credit on your purchases, sell on e-commerce marketplaces and supply goods to other states.
The application is made on the GST portal (gst.gov.in) in Form GST REG-01. There is no government fee for GST registration.
Who needs it
- Businesses selling goods with turnover above ₹40 lakh a year (₹20 lakh in special category states).
- Service providers with turnover above ₹20 lakh a year (₹10 lakh in special category states).
- Anyone making inter-state supplies of goods, whatever the turnover.
- Online sellers on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and other marketplaces, in most cases.
- Businesses that want to claim input tax credit or work with GST-registered buyers.
Documents required
- PAN card of the business owner, firm or company.
- Aadhaar card and photo of the proprietor, partners or directors.
- Proof of business address: electricity bill plus a rent agreement or NOC from the owner.
- Bank details: cancelled cheque, passbook or bank statement.
- For firms and companies: partnership deed or certificate of incorporation, and an authorisation letter.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a government fee for GST registration?
No. GST registration on the GST portal is free. You only pay a professional fee if you take help from a consultant.
How long does GST registration take?
Usually 7 to 10 working days when Aadhaar authentication is done. If the officer asks for physical verification or raises a query, it can take up to 30 days.
Can I get GST registration for a business run from home?
Yes. You can use your home address as the place of business with an electricity bill and, if the house is not in your name, an NOC from the owner.
Do I need GST to sell on Meesho or Amazon?
Most marketplace sellers need a GSTIN. Small sellers who sell only within their own state may be able to use an enrolment ID instead. Tell us what and where you sell and we will tell you which applies.
What happens after I get GST registration?
You must file GST returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) every month or quarter, even if there are no sales. We can file them for you.
