Yes. GST registration records the legal name (as per PAN) and trade name separately. If the applicant is a sole proprietor, the consent letter may identify the owner as the applicant; the proposed trade name can still be entered in the trade-name field. The consent should clearly establish the owner’s right to use the premises, ideally identifying the address and recording the owner’s consent. A separate business name on the consent letter is not, by itself, a prerequisite for using a trade name.
For bank details, the account should be in the taxpayer’s name and satisfy GST portal validation requirements. A sole proprietor may generally use a bank account in the proprietor’s own name; the account need not necessarily display the trade name. Bank details can be furnished or updated after registration within the applicable time limit, but confirm the current portal requirements and ensure the account is acceptable for validation. If the account is changed later, amend the bank details on the GST portal.
GST registration and bank-account setup are closely linked workflows, particularly when registering a proprietorship under a trade name. Manual document checks and portal follow-ups can be difficult, while automation reduces repetitive work and keeps professional judgment in control.
