Rejection of New GST Registration application by competent officer.

We applied for new registration for taking GST number.adhar was in the name of proprietor and was duly approved by clicking the link send by department on e mail. principal place of work is different and the electricity bill uploaded which was in the name of proprietor.
officer has rejected the application stating that residential address is not matching with adhar please provide any other residential proof and apply again.

please let me know if there is any
provision that the address of residence and work place should be same...
what should I do now.?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common issue where new GST registration applications are rejected by the competent officer, often due to address discrepancies between the Aadhaar and the uploaded proof. While the residential address doesn't necessarily need to match the principal place of work, officers may reject applications without issuing a show-cause notice. The consensus is that reapplying with corrected documentation, potentially using a temporary reference number to rectify defects, is the most efficient solution rather than pursuing a lengthy appeal process.

You have no option but to file fresh registration. It is surprising that no query was asked by the officer instead he rejected the application directly without issuing SCN and providing an opportunity. Address of residence and work place need not be same.

Login using Temporary Reference number and upload the appropriate proof

There is no temporary reference number. Gst registration applied will give a reference number.
Before GSTIN is alloted , there will be Temporary registration number, through which only application for GST registration has to be completed

I  do agree with you , either I appeal against this unjustifiable rejection order. They send me SNC and I have replied with  all the facts,still he rejected. or I should apply fresh registration 

I have applied fresh registration as the first process may take long time.

Thanks anyway

Login using Temporary Reference number and OTP. Respond to SNC
Just feed the residential address same as in Aadhar and apply again.
Residential address can be different from work place .

Need not be same .

If office is in rented premises , you must upload rental agreement
Going through appeal is a longer process, rather you should apply again.
Using temporary red no , you can rectify the defect and upload the appropriate proof .

It doesn't need to start from scratch
Read the query first, he is asking whether he apply new or replying to scn
I think you have not handled this kind of issue. I have already gave answer but you are not understanding. But your focus is on finding wrong in right answer
If you have your answer and you are confirmed then why you keep replying again and again on all post. Just wait for querist to understand
