02 August 2025 Hey! If you want to add a new business activity—like selling electronic appliances—under your existing TIN registration (which is currently for food & beverage retail), here’s the general procedure:

1. **Notify the VAT/Commercial Tax Department**: You need to inform the local VAT or Commercial Tax Department about the change in business activity or addition of a new line of business.

2. **Apply for Modification or Amendment**:

* Submit an application for modification or amendment of your existing registration details.
* Usually, there is a specific form for updating business particulars (like business activity, address, etc.).

3. **Provide Supporting Documents**:

* Updated business proof showing new activities (e.g., updated trade license or shop act license).
* Existing registration certificate.
* Any other documents required by your state tax department.

4. **Approval & Issuance of Modified Registration**:

* The department will verify and approve your application.
* You will get an updated registration certificate with the existing TIN number but showing the additional business activity.

**Important:** Your **TIN number remains the same**, but your registration details get updated.

**Note:** The exact procedure and forms vary state to state, so it’s best to check with your **local VAT or commercial tax office** or their official website.

If you tell me your state, I can help you find the exact process or forms needed.
