Compliance Pack
New GST registration, REG-01
Who it is for: Not registered yet
What this means, checked by a CA
You need a GSTIN once your turnover crosses the limit or your type of business makes registration compulsory. We check which route fits, prepare the address and identity papers so the officer has nothing to query, file REG-01, guide you through Aadhaar or biometric checks, and answer any query until the certificate is issued.

Questions people ask
Do I need GST?
Goods above ₹40 lakh turnover (₹20 lakh in some states) or services above ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states). Some must register whatever the turnover, for example inter-state suppliers of goods. Ask on WhatsApp if unsure.
How long does registration take?
We file within 1 working day of complete documents. Approval is by the GST officer, usually within 7 working days, longer if physical verification is called.
Monthly or quarterly returns?
Turnover up to ₹5 crore can choose quarterly returns (QRMP). The CA advises which suits you.
I already have GSTIN and missed returns.
Tell us on WhatsApp. Late returns and fees are worked out first.
How long does approval take?
7 working days if Aadhaar is authenticated and not flagged. 30 days with physical verification if Aadhaar is not done or the portal flags the case. The 3-working-day routes under Rules 9A and 14A apply from 1 November 2025.
Is there a fee for GST registration?
No government fee. Casual taxable persons deposit advance tax.
Can I register from home?
Yes, with ownership proof and a consent letter or rent agreement, but home offices draw more queries and sometimes site visits.
My application was rejected. What now?
Fix every reason in the REG-05 order and apply again, or appeal to the Appellate Authority within three months.
What if I do not reply to the REG-03 query in time?
The officer may reject the application in REG-05.
Who can use the simplified Rule 14A route?
Applicants whose monthly output tax on supplies to registered buyers is up to ₹2,50,000, who opt for Aadhaar authentication. Only one such registration per PAN in a State.
