A clear process. An accountable team.
WHAT YOU GET
A GST registration that survives the officer’s review
Most GST applications fail on small things. The address proof does not match, the business activity is described vaguely, or the authorised signatory cannot complete Aadhaar authentication. We fix these before filing.
Queries and site checks
Replies to any REG-03 query within the 7 day window, and preparation for a physical verification if the officer orders one.
Ready to invoice
An invoice format that meets the GST rules, a return calendar and advice on the LUT if you export.
WHO MUST REGISTER
When GST registration is compulsory
Thresholds are for aggregate turnover in a financial year, under sections 22 and 24 of the CGST Act. Checked 25 Sep 2026.
| Situation | Registration needed | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier of goods | Above INR 40 lakh turnover | INR 20 lakh in some special category states |
| Supplier of services | Above INR 20 lakh turnover | INR 10 lakh in the special category states |
| Interstate supply of goods | From the first sale, whatever the turnover | Interstate services below the threshold are exempt |
| Selling goods through Amazon, Flipkart and similar platforms | Usually from day one | Intrastate goods sellers below the threshold can use the exemption with conditions |
| Exporters | To export under an LUT without paying IGST, or to claim refunds | Service exporters below the threshold may register voluntarily for this |
| Liable under reverse charge, casual or non resident taxable person | Compulsory, whatever the turnover | Non resident taxable persons apply in REG-09 with an advance deposit |
HOW WE WORK
From documents to GSTIN
The officer must act within 7 working days of the application, or 30 days where a site check is needed.
Collect the documents
We check names, addresses and signatory details against each other before anything is filed.
File REG-01 and get the ARN
We file the application on the GST portal. The ARN arrives on submission, and the signatory completes Aadhaar authentication.
Answer queries
If the officer raises a query in REG-03, we reply in REG-04 within 7 working days with the evidence asked for.
Receive the GSTIN
Once approved, the REG-06 certificate is issued. We set up your invoice format and the return calendar.
From 1 November 2025, Rule 14A allows approval within 3 working days. It applies to applicants who declare output tax of INR 2.5 lakh a month or less. We tell you whether it suits your business before you opt in, because leaving the scheme later needs a separate application.

BUILD THE RIGHT ENGAGEMENT
Scope and fees
For foreign owned companies
A foreign owned Indian company registers like any other. The authorised signatory must complete Aadhaar authentication, so most appoint a resident signatory.
A foreign company supplying in India without an Indian entity registers as a non resident taxable person, with an advance tax deposit.
Rates and composition
Since 22 September 2025 most goods and services fall into the 5 percent or 18 percent slabs, with 40 percent for a short list of items.
The composition scheme suits small traders with turnover up to INR 1.5 crore, but it blocks interstate sales and input tax credit.
How we scope the fee
Our professional fee is fixed in writing before we start. There is no government fee for GST registration.
Return filing and reconciliation can be added as a monthly service, or covered in our annual compliance retainer.
YOUR QUESTIONS
GST registration questions
Clear expectations make a better engagement.
How long does GST registration take?
The officer must decide within 7 working days of the application, or 30 days where a physical verification is ordered. Under Rule 14A, eligible small taxpayers get approval within 3 working days.
Can I register voluntarily below the threshold?
Yes. Voluntary registration lets you claim input tax credit and supply to businesses that want GST invoices. You must then file every return.
Is GST registration state specific?
Yes. You need a separate registration in each state where you have a place of business. A company can also hold more than one registration in a state for different business verticals.
Is GST needed for selling on Amazon or Flipkart?
Goods sellers usually register from day one. Intrastate goods sellers below the threshold can use the exemption, subject to conditions. Service sellers through a platform are exempt below the threshold.
Can a freelancer or exporter of services register?
Yes. Service exporters below the threshold are not required to register, but many do so they can file an LUT and claim refunds of input tax.
What if the officer raises a query?
The officer issues REG-03. The reply in REG-04 is due within 7 working days, with the documents requested. We draft and file it.
Can I cancel GST registration later?
Yes, by filing REG-16 once the business stops or falls below the threshold. All pending returns must be filed first.
What is the difference between the regular and composition scheme?
Composition taxpayers pay a flat rate on turnover and file fewer returns. They cannot claim input tax credit, make interstate supplies or issue tax invoices.
