18 April 2018 Sir/Mam,
If a person has been doing from 2013 and there was no liability to register under any previous tax regime. But now the person wants to get registeration under gst on voluntary basis.
Can he enter the date in 'date of commencement of business' in gst registration form as 1.4.2018 as the business in the past period was minimal?

19 April 2018 Yes you can.

19 April 2018 Thankyou mam.
But, won't the date of opening of current account in the name of business, back in 2013, effect in any way.

19 April 2018 No more effects in the previous dates. You can enter the date from 1st April...

30 October 2026 For voluntary registration the certificate is effective from the date of grant whatever commencement date you enter (Rule 10(3)), and Sec 18(1)(b) lets you claim ITC on inputs held in stock on the day before that date by filing ITC-01 within 30 days, if you hold the tax invoices.
