GST Registration
The GST Registration Process, Step by Step
GST registration moves through clear stages, and knowing what happens at each one helps you avoid delays. Here is exactly how we walk every client through it, from the first message to a GSTIN certificate in hand.
1. Free consultation
We confirm you need GST registration, or should opt in, and identify which documents apply to your business type.
2. Document collection
You share documents over WhatsApp. We review them for completeness and flag anything unclear before filing, which is where most delays get avoided.
3. Application filing
We complete Form REG-01 on the GST portal with your details and submit it with the reviewed documents.
4. ARN and verification
You get an Application Reference Number instantly. Aadhaar e-KYC verification happens online in most cases.
5. GSTIN issued
Once approved, your GSTIN and REG-06 certificate appear on the portal, usually within 3 to 7 working days of filing.
6. Post-registration support
We help you set up invoicing correctly and flag your first return due date so nothing slips.
Frequently Asked Questions
Once you share your documents and complete payment, we prepare and file your application within 24 hours. After filing, the GST department typically issues the GSTIN within 3 to 7 working days if there are no clarification queries. Occasionally it takes longer if the officer asks for additional documents.
ARN (Application Reference Number) is generated immediately after you submit your GST application. It lets you track your application status on the GST portal in real time. We monitor your ARN status for you and update you as soon as there's movement.
Physical verification is not done for most straightforward applications processed via Aadhaar authentication. It may be triggered if Aadhaar authentication fails, if there are discrepancies in documents, or for specific risk categories, in which case the officer visits the declared business address before approval.
Once approved, the GST certificate (Form REG-06) is generated automatically on the GST portal and can be downloaded from your GST login. We send you a digital copy directly as soon as it's issued, along with your GSTIN and login credentials guidance.
