Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a single GST registration can be used for two distinct proprietorship businesses, a textile manufacturing firm and a new software venture, each with a separate trade name. While multiple business activities can be conducted under one GSTIN within the same state, the consensus is that a single GST registration typically allows only one trade name. Therefore, to operate with separate business names, two distinct GST registrations are generally required, even if they share the same PAN.

If two seperate product lines then it's OK
you need to have seperate registration.
Yes, You can run both business in One GST registration.
Separate Name can't be done with same registration..

Every GST registration has Trade Name but the registration can't have two trade names .


You can carry multiple business under single registration within the state but it should be with the same trade name .

So you must have seperate registration if you want seperate trade name
Two seperate registration is a proposition.
If both are belongs to same PAN then you can have a single GST registration with same trade name but in your case you must have two GST registrations since you need different trade name
Thanks all of you
Trade Name can be different. here legal name only same as per pan. So, You can use Your pan with two different business under one GSTIN...


DEAR EXPERTS***
PLEASE GIVE CORRECT SOLUTION TO QUERISTS. DON'T BE GIVE BLANK STATUS.
For GST Purposes Legal Name & Trade Name both will be there on the GST Certificate.

One Registration Can have one trade name only .

It simple commonsense that how can one carry business with trade name which different from GST Certificate?

Legal name is just to identify ownership but trade is for carrying business with particular name .
Pro,
here no need COMMONSENSE. Need only professional thought with sense...

As per GST :
What is Trade name...?
What is Legal name...?

If You know the difference as above then give correct reply. given that names must be differenciate trade h legal...
Trade name is the brand name.
legal name is registered with gst authorities.
If the Trade name as per GST certificate is ABC Textiles , Can a person carry business with XYZ Diamonds ?
In proprietorship firm legal name is proprietor name
can i add two trade name in one pan gst certificate ?

Download any one GST certificate.

 

Both Legal Name and Trade Names can be seen.

If registration is taken for a particular trade name , Will GST dept doesn't object if there is different trade name while carrying business?

@ Mitesh Patel ,

You can directly contact with your jurisdictional GST officer and confirm once.
