Get Your GST Number - Steps!

Getting a GST number is essential for businesses exceeding the turnover threshold. It allows you to collect taxes, file returns, and operate smoothly within India’s tax system. 

Start the registration process by visiting the official GST portal at www.gst.gov.in. This is the government’s one-stop platform for all GST-related services. 

Create a new user account by selecting “New Registration” under the “Services” tab. Enter your legal business name, PAN, email, mobile number, and business location to proceed. 

After verifying your email and mobile number, you will receive a Temporary Reference Number (TRN). Use this TRN to log in again and continue the registration process. 

Complete Part B of the application by providing detailed information about your business, including legal name, PAN, address, bank details, owner information, and registration type. 

Upload all required documents, including your PAN card, Aadhaar card, business address proof, bank statement, and, if applicable, a digital signature certificate for companies and LLPs. 

Verify your application using an Electronic Verification Code (EVC) sent to your registered mobile and email, or use a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for authentication. 

Once your application is successfully submitted, you will receive an acknowledgment number. After verification, your GSTIN and Certificate of Registration will be sent via email. 

With your GSTIN, you can now legally collect taxes from customers, file GST returns, and ensure your business remains compliant with Indian tax regulations.

Registering for GST is simple and fully online. Keep your documents ready, follow these six steps, and get your GST number hassle-free to start your business operations smoothly.
