List of Documents Required for GST Registration
GST Registration can be a tedious and tiresome with its 11-step process and each type of company registration requires different documents.
In this article, I will list out the different documents and requirements needed for GST registration according to the type of your company—Sole Proprietorship or Individual, Partnership or LLP, Private limited or Public limited or One-person company, HUF and Society or Trust or Club.
Here are the steps you need to follow in order to register via online for GST:
- You have to submit details about PAN, mobile number and email address in part A of form GST REG-01 on the GSTN portal or through facilitation center (notified by the board or commissioner).
- In this portal, PAN gets verified. Your email address and mobile number are verified through receiving a one-time password (OTP). Once the verification is complete you will receive an application reference number on the registered mobile number and via email. You will also get an acknowledgement issued in FORM GST REG-02 electronically.
- Next, you need to fill part-B of Form GST REG-01 and specify the application reference number. After attaching the required documents, you can submit the form.
- If additional information is required, Form GST REG-03 is issued. You need to complete the form GST REG-04 with required information within 7 working days from the date of receipt of Form GST REG-03.
- If you have provided all the required information via Form GST REG-01 or Form GST REG-04, the registration certificate in Form GST REG-06 for the principal place of business as well as for every additional place of business will be issued to the applicant. If you have multiple business verticals within a state, file a separate application for the registration in Form GST REG-01 for each business verticals. If the details submitted are not satisfactory, the registration application is rejected using Form GST REG-05. If you are required to deduct TDS or collect TCS, then submit an application in Form GST REG-07 for registration. If you are no longer liable to deduct collect tax at source then the officer may cancel and communicate the cancel of registration.
