23 November 2012 Please complete your question by adding the name of State. VAT is a state subject so trader has to follow the Rules as framed by the State Govt.

### 1. **How to Get VAT Registration**

* **Determine Eligibility:**
If your business turnover exceeds the threshold limit (usually ₹5 lakhs or ₹10 lakhs depending on state), VAT registration is mandatory.

* **Apply for Registration:**

* Obtain the VAT registration application form (like Form VAT-100) from the Commercial Tax Department website or local tax office.
* Fill in all required details — business name, constitution, address, PAN, nature of business, etc.
* Attach necessary documents (PAN card, address proof, business license, photographs, bank details).
* Submit the application either online (if available) or offline at the local Commercial Tax Office.

* **Verification & Certificate:**
The tax department verifies your documents and details. After approval, you get a VAT Registration Certificate with a TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number).

### 2. **Documents Required**

* PAN card of the proprietor/partner/company
* Proof of business address (rent agreement, electricity bill)
* Passport size photographs
* Business license or shop act certificate (if applicable)
* Bank account details (cancelled cheque)
* Declaration form as required by the state

### 3. **Turnover Threshold for VAT Registration**

* Varies from state to state, generally:

* ₹5 lakhs for some states
* ₹10 lakhs for others (like Maharashtra)
* Threshold applies to the **aggregate turnover** (all sales and purchases).

---

### 4. **Filing Frequency**

* **Monthly Filing:**

* Usually required for larger dealers with high turnover.
* Returns need to be filed every month (e.g., before 20th of next month).

* **Quarterly Filing:**

* Smaller dealers or those with less turnover may be allowed quarterly filing.
* Returns filed every 3 months.

* States may have different rules; check the Commercial Tax Department website for your state.
