Dear sir or madam,

while filling new GST registration for proprietorship business they are asking for legal name of business and also they have given "as mentioned in Pan" in the bracket. where as in the pan there is only proprietor's name but the legal name of the business is something other. so what should be the name to be filled in that box please reply soon as soon as possible. thanks in advance.

LEGAL NAME AS THE SHOP NAME IS SHREE AUTO LTD UNDER PROPERITER 

SO THE LEGAL NAME IS NAME OF BUSINESS OTHER THAN NAME OF PROPRITER 

Fill proprietor's name as in pan card of legal business

but it may be differ

thank u all....
you can check during gstr1 filling online option , try add with gstin no in gstr1 system automatically shows legal name/ business name
Hi Maya,
Fill the name as mentioned in the PAN card as 'Legal Name'. Shop name or business name will be the trade name.
Suppose, name on PAN card of the proprietor is ABC, and the business name is XYZ & CO. Then, while registration, in Part A of the form fill ABC in 'Legal Name' field and in Part B of the form fill XYZ & CO. in the 'Trade Name' field. This is to ensure if the name on PAN card is matching with the income tax department database.
