A Complete Guide On GST Registration Process

Goods and Services Tax, which is often referred to as an epoch-making reform has become imminent, after our President Pranab Mukherjee gave his approval on September 8, 2016, and on this facet, Government is working in leaps & bounds to get this reform implemented. Under this reform, the existing taxpayers need to register themselves in GST’s database.

Who all are eligible to get enrolled under GST?

The GST system portal would encompass all the existing taxpayers as they need to get enrolled, and by an existing taxpayer I mean  an entity registered with any of the mentioned authorities;

• Entry tax
• Luxury tax
• State sales tax/VAT (except exclusive liquor dealers)
• Central Excise
• Service Tax
• Entertainment tax

Moreover, enrollment under GST  exemplifies the validation of the data of existing taxpayers.

Procedure for enrollment under GST System:

• Paperless Procedure: The process of enrollment under GST will go paperless, as Government would not entertain any hard copies. Further, all the existing taxpayers need to visit the GST system portal whose annual turnover is more than Rs 20 lakhs, the saturation limit.
• Use of Provisional ID & Password: Before visiting the GST portal system, the taxpayers need to have the Provisional ID & Password which has been given to you by the associated state authorities.
• Documentation: Information required for the registration includes-

1. Provisional ID & Password
