Here’s a simple overview of the **VAT Registration Procedure** applicable generally across Indian states (may vary slightly state to state):
---
### VAT Registration Procedure
1. **Determine Eligibility**
* Check if your business turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold (usually ₹5 lakhs or ₹10 lakhs depending on state).
* Business types like manufacturers, traders, dealers, and works contractors generally require registration.
2. **Gather Required Documents**
* Proof of Identity (PAN card)
* Proof of Business Address (rent agreement, electricity bill, etc.)
* Proof of Ownership (property papers or lease agreement)
* Passport size photographs
* Business license or trade certificate (if applicable)
* Bank account details (cancelled cheque)
3. **Fill the VAT Registration Application**
* Obtain the application form (e.g., Form VAT-100) from the Commercial Tax Department website or office.
* Fill in all details accurately — business name, address, nature of business, PAN, turnover, etc.
4. **Submit the Application**
* **Online**: Many states have online portals (like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka).
* **Offline**: Submit the filled form with documents at the local Commercial Tax Office.
5. **Verification Process**
* The tax authorities verify the application and documents.
* May conduct a physical inspection of business premises.
6. **Issue of VAT Registration Certificate**
* Once verified, the department issues a VAT Registration Certificate.
* The dealer is allotted a unique **TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number)**.
* Registration is effective from the date of application or commencement of business.
7. **Start Filing VAT Returns**
* After registration, regularly file VAT returns as per state rules.
* Maintain proper VAT records and invoices.
---
### Important Points
* Registration is mandatory if turnover crosses threshold.
* Some states may require additional documents.
* Keep multiple copies of the registration certificate for future use.
* Timely filing of returns is mandatory to avoid penalties.
