From 1 October 2026 the GST portal has a “Multistate Registration” facility.<\/strong> A business that needs GST registration in several States or Union Territories under the same PAN can now start all of those applications together, type its common details once, and then finish only the state-specific parts for each State. What it does not do is create one national GST registration \u2014 you still end up with a separate GSTIN in every State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how the facility works, what it saves you, and the parts that are exactly as slow as before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What GSTN announced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GSTN’s advisory of 1 October 2026 adds a “Multistate Registration”<\/strong> tab to the GST portal home page. You select every State or UT where you need registration, and the portal generates a single Master Temporary Reference Number (Master TRN)<\/strong> for the whole set. The advisory says the Master TRN must be submitted within 15 days<\/strong>. For now the facility is open only to Normal Taxpayers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works, step by step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open the Multistate Registration<\/strong> tab on the GST portal and select all the States\/UTs where you need registration.<\/li>\n
  2. The portal generates one Master TRN<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Under that Master TRN, fill in the Common Registration Information<\/strong> once: business details, promoters or partners, authorised signatory, authorised representative, and the goods and services you deal in.<\/li>\n
  4. Submit it. The portal then generates an individual TRN for each State<\/strong> you selected, with the common information already filled in.<\/li>\n
  5. For each State, complete the state-specific part<\/strong>: principal place of business, additional places of business, other state details, and Aadhaar authentication.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What you enter once, and what you still do per State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
