GST Registration for Multiple states Required or Not ?

One of our client who is a GTA wants to have godowns at different states. He opted for RCM tax payment for such GTA Services provided.

Now my questions is do he required to obtain separate GST Numbers for just having godowns at different states ?

Quick Summary
A Goods Transport Agency (GTA) client with a principal place of business in Karnataka is asking if separate GST registration is needed for godowns located in other states, especially when operating under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM). While having a physical presence like a godown in a state generally necessitates separate GST registration, the specifics depend on whether these godowns are considered a 'fixed establishment' and the exact nature of their use. The GST portal currently prevents adding godowns outside the principal state.

Gst registration for multiple states required provided you hv seperate place of business all over.

It is not Separate Place of Business. They are all godowns to store goods of clients for transportation purposes

Any solutions to my this problem.

If your client, who operates as a Goods Transport Agency (GTA), wants to have godowns in different states and has opted for Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for tax payment on GTA services, they may or may not be required to obtain separate GST numbers for each state. The need for separate GST registrations depends on the specific circumstances and the applicable GST laws.

Under GST regulations, a business is required to obtain a separate GST registration in each state where it has a physical presence or carries out taxable supplies. The concept of a "fixed establishment" is used to determine whether a business has a physical presence in a particular state. Generally, having a godown or place of business in a state qualifies as a fixed establishment.

GTA has principal place of business at Karnataka. The GST Portal is not allowing to add godown which is located outside Karnataka.
