Goods and Services Tax ("GST") is the indirect tax levied in India and subsumes different taxes such as service tax, excise duty, VAT, entry tax and customs duty, into a single tax system. GST was introduced to reduce complexities and compliances of doing business for millions of small businesses in India.

Registration of any business entity under the GST Law implies obtaining a unique number from the concerned tax authorities for the purpose of collecting tax on behalf of the government and to avail Input Tax Credit for the taxes on his inward supplies.

I help you with a checklist of documents that are required for GST registration.

PAN Card of the Business and Applicant

GST registration requires the PAN (Permanent Account Number) of the business and authorized signatories/applicant (Directors / Partners / Proprietor).
