  • Proof of business constitution (partnership deed, Memorandum of Association (MOA), Articles of Association (AOA), or certificate of incorporation)

  • Businesses engaged in e-commerce activities
  • Entities required to deduct TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) or collect TCS (Tax Collected at Source)

  • Input tax credit: Registered businesses can claim input tax credit on GST paid for goods or services used in their business operations, thereby reducing the overall tax liability.
  • Seamless interstate trade: GST registration facilitates smooth inter-state trade by eliminating multiple state taxes and providing a unified tax system across the country.
  • Improved competitiveness: GST registration enhances the credibility and competitiveness of businesses, especially when dealing with other registered entities or participating in government tenders.
  • Access to input tax credit for customers: GST registration allows your customers, who are also registered under GST, to claim input tax credit on purchases from your business, making your products or services more attractive.
