A godown or branch in the same State is added to your existing GSTIN as an additional place of business. You do not need a second registration for the same State unless you choose separate registration for a different business vertical.

Provisions
Rule 19(1), CGST Rules 2017; Sec 28, CGST Act 2017
Analysis
Rule 19(1) treats additional place of business as a core field today, so it needs officer approval. Goods kept at an undeclared godown can create trouble during an inspection or an e-way bill check, because the address on documents will not match your registration. Example: a trader in Jaipur starts storing stock in a rented godown in Sanganer on 5 October; the REG-14 should be filed by 20 October with the godown rent agreement.
Close
- Get the rent agreement or consent letter and a utility bill for the godown.
- File REG-14 under Amendment of Registration Core Fields, tab Additional Places of Business.
- Enter the nature of activity at the godown, such as warehouse or depot.
- Submit with DSC or EVC and track the ARN until REG-15 is issued.
- Print the amended certificate and display it at the godown too.
Keep the certificate displayed at every place of business, including the new godown.
