GST Registration Online India — Get Your GSTIN Fast

GST registration takes 3–7 working days from the date of application: (1) With Aadhaar authentication — provisional GSTIN issued within 3 working days; (2) Without Aadhaar authentication — GSTIN issued within 7 working days after physical verification. TAXAJ files the REG-01 application on the same day documents are received, enabling you to get your ARN (Application Reference Number) immediately. If the GST officer raises a REG-03 query for additional documents, TAXAJ responds within the 7-day window at no extra charge.

GST registration with the government is free — there is no government fee for filing REG-01. However, businesses typically use CA/professional services for error-free applications. TAXAJ charges from ₹1,499 for end-to-end GST registration — including document verification, REG-01 filing, Aadhaar authentication guidance, ARN tracking, officer query (REG-03) response, and GSTIN certificate delivery. The ₹1,499 includes our professional fee and the entire service — no hidden charges.

Freelancers providing services to Indian clients need GST registration when their annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special states). YouTubers and content creators: AdSense income (from Google, a foreign company) is treated as export of services — zero-rated for GST. Indian brand deals with Indian companies attract 18% GST once registered. Voluntary registration below ₹20L is common for creators who receive brand deals from large Indian companies — it helps appear credible and allows proper tax invoicing. An LUT (Letter of Undertaking) must be filed annually for zero-rating AdSense income. Creator tax guide →

GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) is a 15-digit unique identification number issued to every GST-registered business. Structure: digits 1–2 = state code (e.g., 07 for Delhi, 29 for Karnataka); digits 3–12 = PAN of the business; digit 13 = entity number (Z for first registration, sequential alphabet for additional registrations); digit 14 = usually Z (default); digit 15 = check digit. The GSTIN must be printed on all tax invoices, debit notes, credit notes, and formal business documents. It is also displayed on the GST registration certificate.

Non-registration when mandatory attracts serious penalties under the GST Act: (1) Penalty — 10% of tax due (minimum ₹10,000) for failure to register; for deliberate non-registration, penalty is 100% of tax due; (2) Back-dating liability — GST authorities can demand GST on all turnover from the date registration was required, plus interest at 18% per annum; (3) Input Tax Credit denied — all purchases made in the unregistered period are not eligible for ITC; (4) Business disruption — e-commerce platforms can block your seller account if you don't have a GSTIN. Voluntary late registration with back-dated liability is possible — TAXAJ assists in minimising late registration impact.

Yes. GST registration is state-specific — a separate GSTIN is required for each state where you have a business presence (office, warehouse, factory, shop). If you operate in 3 states, you need 3 separate GST registrations. Inter-state supply without a registration in the supplying state is not allowed. For businesses with a head office in one state and warehouses in other states, all warehouse states require separate registrations. TAXAJ handles multi-state GST registrations — each state's registration is processed simultaneously to save time.

An LUT (Letter of Undertaking) is a declaration filed by GST-registered exporters and businesses providing services to foreign clients — enabling them to export without paying IGST (zero-rated supply with LUT). Without an LUT, exporters must pay IGST and then claim a refund — which is time-consuming and capital-intensive. LUT must be filed annually at the start of each financial year (Form RFD-11). Key requirements: business must have a clean compliance record (no tax evasion case), and the LUT is valid for the entire financial year. TAXAJ files LUT for all export clients as part of GST registration and annual compliance. GST returns & LUT filing →
