GST Registration in Hyderabad: Get Your GSTIN Online

GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) is a 15-digit unique ID issued after GST registration. GST registration is the process; GSTIN is the ID you receive. Think of it like getting a driving license (GSTIN) through the licensing process (GST registration).

We file the application as soon as documents are complete, usually the same day. With Aadhaar authentication, the GST officer must approve it or raise a query within 7 working days, and many applications are approved sooner. If physical verification of the premises is ordered, it can take up to 30 days.

₹0 (Zero). There's no government registration fee for GST. Our professional fee is ₹1,100 for applications eligible for auto approval and ₹1,800 for regular applications, covering document checks, filing and replies to officer queries. The government charges nothing.

Fully online. We file everything on GST Portal (https://www.gst.gov.in). No office visits needed. No paperwork. You'll get your GSTIN via email after government approval.

Generally no. Below ₹20 lakh turnover for services (and for goods in Telangana; ₹40 lakh for goods in most other states), registration is optional and an unregistered business does not charge or pay GST on its sales. It is still compulsory for interstate sellers of goods, casual taxable persons and those liable under reverse charge. If you register voluntarily, for example to claim input tax credit or sell to B2B buyers, you must charge GST and file returns.

You owe the tax on all sales from the date you became liable, with 18% interest, plus a penalty of ₹10,000 or the tax evaded, whichever is higher. The department can recover dues by attaching bank accounts, and your B2B customers cannot claim input tax credit on your invoices. Register within 30 days of becoming liable.

Yes, each business needs separate GSTIN. We can handle multiple registrations with volume discounts. Each registration is independent.

PAN (Permanent Account Number) is your income tax ID. GSTIN is your GST ID. A business needs both. You can have one PAN but multiple GSTINs (for different businesses).

Yes. Monthly GSTR-3B (summary return) and GSTR-1 (sales report) if filing returns. Annual GSTR-9. We handle this from ₹1,500/month.

Yes. File Form GST REG-14 on the GST portal. Changes to core fields (legal name, principal place of business, partners or directors) need officer approval, normally within 15 working days. Non-core changes such as email or phone number are updated without approval. We can handle all amendments.

You can recover GST paid on business purchases. Example: Paid 18% GST on equipment (₹1,000). You get ₹180 credit against your GST liability. This is the biggest benefit of GST registration.

Only if turnover > ₹20 lakhs. But many freelancers register voluntarily to claim input credit on expenses (office rent, software, equipment).

Monthly GSTR-1 (by the 11th) and GSTR-3B (by the 20th). Businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore can opt for QRMP and file both quarterly, while paying tax monthly. Composition dealers file CMP-08 quarterly and GSTR-4 annually. GSTR-9 is due by 31 December, and is optional up to ₹2 crore turnover.

Yes. Apply in Form GST REG-16 if you close the business, transfer it, or are no longer liable to register, including if you registered voluntarily. The officer passes the order in Form REG-19. You must file all pending returns and a final return (GSTR-10) within 3 months of cancellation.

PAN, Aadhaar and photo of the owner or partners, business address proof (utility bill plus rent agreement or NOC if not owned), mobile number and email. Bank account proof (cancelled cheque or passbook first page) can be added within 30 days of registration. We guide you on everything.

It depends on what you sell. Since 1 October 2023, small sellers of goods on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho or JioMart can sell within their own state without GST registration if turnover is below the threshold, using a PAN-based enrolment on the GST portal. You need a GSTIN to sell goods to buyers in other states. Service providers selling through e-commerce operators need registration only above ₹20 lakh turnover, except where the operator itself pays the tax.

Rare with our guidance. If rejected, we file an amended application within 1-2 days. Usually the issue is address or document quality.

Yes, if your business operates from home. Upload a recent electricity bill or property tax receipt for the address, plus an NOC from the owner if the home is not in your name. The officer may verify the address.

GSTR-1: Details of all sales invoices (who bought from you). GSTR-3B: Summary of sales, purchases, GST liability, and payment. File both monthly.

Highly recommended. GST compliance is complex. Monthly filings need accuracy. Our ongoing GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing starts at ₹1,500/month.

GST 2.0 simplified rates to 4 slabs: 0% (exempted goods), 5% (essentials), 18% (standard), 40% (luxury items). The 12% and 28% slabs were removed. Check current rates at gst.gov.in for your products. Tax Garden provides GST rate consultation during registration.

Any person carrying on a business or profession with a PAN can register, including proprietors, partnerships, LLPs, companies, trusts and freelancers. Registration is mandatory once aggregate turnover crosses ₹20 lakh for services (₹40 lakh for goods in most states, but ₹20 lakh in Telangana), and at any turnover for interstate sellers of goods, casual and non-resident taxable persons, persons liable under reverse charge, e-commerce operators, and TDS or TCS deductors under GST. Businesses below the limit can register voluntarily.

The government charges nothing for GST registration. Tax Garden's professional fee is ₹1,100 for applications eligible for auto approval and ₹1,800 for regular applications, which includes replies to officer queries. Other consultants in Hyderabad charge anywhere from a few hundred rupees to a few thousand, so check whether query replies and physical verification support are included.

Regular registration (normal taxpayers who collect GST and claim input tax credit), composition registration for small businesses paying a fixed rate on turnover, casual taxable person registration for businesses supplying from a state where they have no fixed place of business (for example at exhibitions), non-resident taxable person registration, and separate registrations for TDS or TCS deductors, input service distributors and e-commerce operators. Most Hyderabad businesses need regular or composition registration.

Traders and manufacturers with turnover up to ₹1.5 crore pay 1% of turnover, and restaurants not serving alcohol pay 5%, instead of charging GST on each sale. Service providers with turnover up to ₹50 lakh can opt for a 6% composition rate. Composition dealers cannot claim input tax credit, cannot collect GST from customers, and cannot make interstate sales. Since October 2023 they can sell goods through e-commerce platforms within their state. Returns are CMP-08 quarterly and GSTR-4 annually.

Yes, if you have a valid rent or lease agreement, an NOC from the owner and a recent utility bill for that address. The GST officer can order a physical verification, and applicants flagged as high risk may be asked to complete biometric Aadhaar authentication at a GST Suvidha Kendra. If nobody is found at the address, the application can be rejected or the registration later cancelled. A virtual office also works as a company's registered office for ROC, as long as it can receive official mail, because MCA can verify the registered office too.

You get an ARN as soon as the application is filed. With Aadhaar authentication, the officer must act within 7 working days, and many applications are approved sooner. If physical verification is ordered, it can take up to 30 days. No one can legally sell you a ready-made GSTIN or GST firm. Using someone else's registration makes you liable for their tax, and the government charges no fee for registration.

Apply online on gst.gov.in with Form GST REG-01. Keep ready the PAN of the business, Aadhaar and photo of the proprietor or partners, proof of business address (rent agreement or ownership proof plus a utility bill), and bank account details. Registration is mandatory above ₹20 lakh turnover for services, and for goods above ₹40 lakh in most states but ₹20 lakh in Telangana. Interstate sellers of goods must register regardless of turnover. Businesses below the limit can still register voluntarily.
