Additional trade name for my two firms

I have two proprietorship firms, one is for retail trading Apparel for which I have registered for GST.

2nd is IT services firm which sells web hosting & other services.

Can I add my 2nd firm to the same GST number as additional trade name with different hsn codes than the first?

Quick Summary
A proprietor can add a second business as an additional trade name under the same GST registration if both businesses are in the same state. Different HSN codes and business activities are allowed. However, separate GST registration may be better if the businesses are very different.

Yes, You can add.
Yes you can add additional name also in GST registration.

But as the nature of business is completely different from each other I suggest to apply for 2nd registration
You can add your second firm to the same GST number as an additional trade name with different HSN codes than the first, if both the firms are in the same state and are not registered under the GST Composition Scheme12. This is called the concept of vertical business in GST12. You can also choose to obtain separate GST registrations for each firm if you want to manage them independently12.

To add your second firm to the same GST number, you need to log in to the GST portal and select the option “Amendment of Registration Non-Core Fields” from the Registration Tab. Then, you need to select the option “Additional Places of Business” from the given Non-Core Fields and enter the details of your second firm
Is it pvt limited or sole propreitorship

Proprietorship 

Ok you can

Thank you,

Actually it is under Amendment of Core fields in Registration.

Welcome 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hi, 

What if the proprietorship is under composition scheme and wants to add additional trade name and wants to supply a different nature of product?

Is being under composition a problem in this case?

 

Yes you can add different business verticals under single GST registration and have different Trade Names.
