GST Registration for Sole Proprietorship
Sole proprietorship is the simplest business structure to register for GST. There's no DSC requirement, and Aadhaar-based e-signature keeps the whole process digital. Most proprietorship applications we file are approved within a week when the documents are in order.
No DSC needed
Aadhaar OTP e-signature is enough. There's no need to buy or maintain a digital signature certificate.
Minimal documents
Just PAN, Aadhaar, a photograph, address proof, and bank details. It's the fastest entity type to register.
Trade name flexibility
You can register under a trade name that differs from your personal name, handy for branding the business separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
PAN and Aadhaar of the proprietor, a passport-size photograph, address proof of the business place (electricity bill/rent agreement + NOC), and bank account details (cancelled cheque or bank statement showing the account holder's name, account number, and IFSC).
Yes, a residential address can be used as the principal place of business for GST registration, provided you can furnish an address proof such as an electricity bill, property tax receipt, or a rent agreement with a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the owner.
