Why FilingPro?

Why Tambaram West Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert GST Registration in Tambaram West — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

Real proof-of-place expertise

Premises documentation is where most rejections happen. Owned, rented, leased, family-occupied, virtual office, co-working dedicated desk — we have filed cleanly under each format and know the proof-set that the proper officer accepts without further query.

Section 24 screening on call one

Compulsory triggers are screened at the very first conversation. Many business owners think they are below threshold and discover too late that an e-commerce listing or one inter-state sale already made registration mandatory under Section 24.

Comfort across every constitution

Proprietorship, partnership, LLP, private limited, OPC, HUF, society, trust — we have filed REG-01 under each constitution. Document set, board resolution format and signatory rule changes between them and we apply the right one without trial and error.

REG-04 first-pass clearance record

Every REG-03 deficiency memo received in the last two-year window cleared on the first REG-04 pass. No second-cycle queries. That is a function of taking the memo seriously, replying in forty-eight hours and providing the exact document the officer asked for.

Aadhaar authentication coaching live

Signatory Aadhaar mobile linkage, OTP timing, browser caching issues, photo capture standards — small things that break the authentication step. We sit with the signatory on a call until OTP confirmation lands. No silent failures.

Document vault under client PAN

Every REG-01 file, ARN history, REG-02 acknowledgement, REG-03 memos and REG-06 certificate is archived in a dated folder under the client's PAN. Recoverable on request for audit, amendment, cancellation or revocation work years later.

Key Benefits

What Tambaram West Clients Get

Every GST Registration engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Section 107 Appeal Window Protected
Should REG-05 rejection occur, the three-month appellate window under Section 107 is calendared from the date of communication of the order. The Tambaram West client receives a draft memorandum of appeal alongside the rejection, ensuring no limitation issue arises later.
Retrospective Registration Risk Mitigated
Late application invites suo motu registration under Section 25(8) backdated to the liability date, with tax demand under Section 73 for the gap period. We track Section 22 thresholds and Section 24 triggers to file REG-01 within the thirty-day statutory window.
REG-04 Reply Drafted As Legal Defence
A deficiency notice under Rule 9(2) is treated not as a clerical formality but as a quasi-judicial show cause. The REG-04 we file addresses each enumerated query with documentary backing and statutory citation, narrowing the officer's scope to issue REG-05.
Aadhaar Authentication Failure Recorded
Where the UIDAI server or the GST portal causes authentication failure, contemporaneous screenshots with timestamps are preserved. This evidentiary record protects the Tambaram West applicant from being penalised for an infrastructural failure beyond their control.
Principal Place Proof Litigation-Ready
The address proof set is assembled with regard to the kind of objections jurisdictional officers in Tamil Nadu have historically raised. Where the premises is leased, the registered rent agreement, NOC and a current utility bill are placed in a single defensible bundle.
Cross-Jurisdictional Registration Coordination
For applicants with operations spanning multiple States, the legal constitution, signatory data and PAN linkage are aligned across REG-01 applications. This prevents subsequent allegations of suppression under Section 122 arising from inadvertent inconsistencies between State registrations.

People Also Ask — GST Registration in Tambaram West
Who is required to obtain GST registration in Tamil Nadu?
Every person whose aggregate annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services under Section 22 of the CGST Act must register. Additionally, Section 24 mandates registration irrespective of turnover for inter-state suppliers, e-commerce operators and sellers, casual taxable persons, persons liable under reverse charge, TDS/TCS deductors and Input Service Distributors.
How long does GST registration take after submitting REG-01?
With successful Aadhaar authentication, registration is deemed approved in 7 working days from REG-01 submission unless the proper officer issues a REG-03 deficiency notice. Without Aadhaar authentication, physical verification of the principal place of business under Rule 25 is mandatory and approval extends up to 30 days under Rule 9(5).
What documents are needed for GST registration in Tambaram West?
Core documents are PAN of the business, Aadhaar of the authorised signatory and one promoter, recent photograph, proof of principal place of business (EB bill, property tax receipt or rent agreement plus NOC), bank account proof (cancelled cheque or passbook page) and DSC for companies/LLPs or EVC for other constitutions. Additional documents apply for partnerships and companies.
Can a residential address in Tambaram West be used for GST registration?
Yes. Residential premises can serve as principal place of business if supported by ownership proof (property tax or EB bill in the applicant's name) or a rent agreement with NOC from the owner. The address must be physically accessible for verification under Rule 25 and books of account must be maintained at this location under Section 35.
Is GST registration free or are there government fees?
There is no government fee for GST registration under the CGST Act or Rules. Submission of REG-01, REG-04 deficiency reply and REG-06 download are all free of cost on the GST portal. Professional fees for REG-01 preparation, Aadhaar authentication assistance, ARN tracking and post-registration return preparation are charged separately by GST consultants.
What happens if GST registration application is rejected?
Rejection is communicated through Form REG-05 with reasons recorded. The applicant may file a fresh REG-01 addressing the rejection grounds with corrected documents. Alternatively, an appeal may be filed under Section 107 of the CGST Act before the Appellate Authority within 3 months of the rejection order, with pre-deposit conditions where applicable.
What if my GST registration application is rejected?

On rejection in Form REG-05, the applicant can either file a fresh application addressing the deficiency, or file an appeal under Section 107 of the CGST Act within three months of the rejection order.

What is Form REG-30 in GST?

Form REG-30 is the field-visit report uploaded by the proper officer after physical verification of the principal place of business under Rule 25. The report is uploaded within fifteen working days of the verification.

What is the role of jurisdictional officer in GST registration?

The jurisdictional Range Officer examines the REG-01 application, conducts physical verification if needed under Rule 25, issues REG-03 deficiency notices and ultimately grants registration in REG-06 or rejects in REG-05.

Can NOC from owner be in plain paper for GST registration?

Yes — the NOC for use of premises can be on plain paper provided it is signed by the owner with a clear statement of consent to use the premises as the principal place of business. Notarisation is not mandatory but adds credibility.

Can co-working space be used for GST registration?

Yes — co-working spaces with NOC and supporting documents (utility bill, registered rent agreement of the co-working operator, signed seat allocation) can be used as the principal place of business. Many startups in OMR and IT corridor areas use this route.

Is e-commerce TCS registration different from regular GST registration?

Yes — e-commerce operators required to collect TCS under Section 52 obtain a separate GSTIN in Form REG-07 in the TCS category. This is in addition to any regular GSTIN they may hold for their own supplies.

A complete walkthrough — Gst Registration

Localised for Tambaram West, Chennai — where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme.

Reading this guide locally — Tambaram West businesses operate where on the Tambaram-Chromepet corridor that passes through Tambaram West, and Tambaram West businesses in the retail arm find that businesses face GST classification disputes cash-sales reconciliation and frequent Rule 138E e-way block alerts.

What is GST registration and when is it required

Statutory basis under Section 22

GST registration in India is governed by Sections 22 to 30 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 read with corresponding State GST legislation. The trigger for compulsory registration under Section 22 is an aggregate annual turnover of ₹40 lakh for exclusive suppliers of goods in Tamil Nadu (per Notification 10/2019-Central Tax) and ₹20 lakh for service or mixed suppliers. Aggregate turnover under Section 2(6) is the sum of all taxable supplies, exempt supplies, exports of goods and services, and inter-State supplies of a person having the same Permanent Account Number, computed on an all-India basis. Once a person crosses this threshold in any financial year, the obligation to register arises within thirty days under Section 25(1). Section 24 of the CGST Act overrides Section 22 entirely for specified categories including inter-State taxable suppliers, casual taxable persons, persons supplying through e-commerce operators, and reverse-charge liable persons — these categories must register regardless of turnover.

Voluntary registration option

A person whose aggregate turnover is below the threshold can still register voluntarily under Section 25(3) of the CGST Act. Once voluntary registration is granted, all provisions of GST law apply to such a person as they would to any registered person — including monthly returns, ITC eligibility for inputs, and the obligation to issue tax invoices. Voluntary registration is commonly chosen by B2B service providers and traders who want to enable ITC pass-through to their corporate clients, by exporters who need to file LUTs and claim refunds, and by startups that want to capture ITC on early-stage procurement before revenue commencement. Once obtained, voluntary registration cannot be casually surrendered — REG-16 cancellation follows the same procedure as any other cancellation under Section 29.

The REG-01 application process step by step

REG-03 deficiency and REG-04 reply

If on examination of REG-01 the proper officer finds the application incomplete or unsatisfactory, a notice in Form REG-03 is issued seeking additional information or documents. The applicant must respond within seven working days through Form REG-04 carrying clarifications and any additional supporting documents. If no reply is received, or if the reply is found unsatisfactory by the officer, the application is rejected in Form REG-05. A rejected application can be either re-filed afresh after addressing the deficiency, or contested by way of appeal under Section 107 of the CGST Act within three months of the rejection order.

Part A — PAN mobile email

Form GST REG-01 has two parts. Part A captures the applicant's PAN, mobile number and email address. On submission, the GST portal validates the PAN against the Income Tax Department database, sends an OTP to the mobile number and email, and on successful validation generates a Temporary Reference Number (TRN). The TRN is valid for fifteen days and is the credential to log back in and complete Part B. If Part A is not completed within fifteen days, the application lapses and Part A has to be re-filed. Mobile number and email must be unique to the applicant — they cannot be the same as those used in an earlier active TRN.

Part B — business details

Part B of REG-01 is filed after logging in with the TRN. It captures business details (trade name, constitution, nature of business activities), promoters / partners / directors (with PAN, Aadhaar, residential address, and photographs), authorised signatory designation, principal place of business (with address proof and ownership / occupancy basis), additional places of business (each with its own address proof), goods and services with HSN / SAC codes (up to five primary), bank account details (with proof), state-specific information, and a verification declaration. Part B is divided into multiple sections that can be saved progressively before final submission.

Registration certificate REG-06 and post-grant steps

Effective date of registration

Form REG-06 — the certificate of registration — is issued after the application is approved. The certificate carries the 15-digit GSTIN, the legal name and trade name, the constitution, the principal place of business and additional places, the date of registration, and the date of validity (for casual or non-resident taxable persons). The effective date of registration is the date from which the registered person is liable to charge GST on supplies and entitled to claim ITC on inputs. For first-time threshold-crossers, the effective date is generally the date the application was filed (if filed within 30 days of liability) or the date of liability itself in delayed cases. For voluntary registration, it is the date of grant.

Bank account particulars post-registration

Rule 10A of the CGST Rules mandates that within forty-five days of grant of registration, or before the first GSTR-3B is filed (whichever is earlier), the registered person must furnish bank account details through an amendment of REG-01. The bank account must be in the name of the registered taxable person and must be linked to the PAN. Failure to furnish bank-account particulars within the timeline triggers Rule 21A suspension of the GSTIN — the suspended taxpayer cannot issue tax invoices or pass on ITC during the suspension. Compliance with Rule 10A is therefore one of the first post-registration housekeeping items.

First GSTR-3B filing

The first GSTR-3B return after registration is due on the 20th, 22nd or 24th of the month following the month of registration grant — the date depending on the State and the QRMP-opt-in status. The first return covers the period from the effective date of registration to the end of the registration month. Output tax on supplies made from the effective date, ITC on inputs received from the effective date, and net tax payable are declared. Section 47 late fee plus Section 50 interest at 18% per annum apply if the first return is delayed. A clean first GSTR-3B sets the tone for the compliance record and reduces scrutiny exposure.

Compulsory registration under Section 24

Casual and non-resident taxable persons

Section 24(iv) and Section 27 of the CGST Act govern casual taxable persons (CTPs) and non-resident taxable persons (NRTPs). A casual taxable person is one who occasionally supplies goods or services in a State or Union Territory where they have no fixed place of business — for example, a trader from another State participating in an exhibition or trade fair in Tamil Nadu. A non-resident taxable person is one who occasionally supplies goods or services in India but has no fixed place of business or residence in India. Both must apply for registration at least five days before commencement of business in the State, in Form REG-01 (CTP) or REG-09 (NRTP), and make an advance deposit of estimated tax. Registration is valid for ninety days, extendable by another ninety on application in REG-11.

E-commerce operators and sellers

Section 24(ix) makes GST registration compulsory for any person supplying goods or services through an e-commerce operator that is required to collect tax at source under Section 52, regardless of aggregate turnover. This catches every seller on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra and similar platforms — even a homemaker selling handicrafts at ₹50,000 a month must register before listing. Section 24(x) makes registration compulsory for the e-commerce operator itself; the operator obtains a separate TCS-GSTIN in Form REG-07. For restaurants supplying through Zomato or Swiggy, Section 9(5) shifts the GST collection burden to the aggregator, but the restaurant must still be registered to enable the flow.

Reverse-charge and TDS / TCS roles

Section 24(iii) requires compulsory registration for persons liable to pay tax under reverse charge — for example, recipients of GTA services, lawyer services, or supplies from unregistered persons in specified scenarios. Section 24(vi) covers persons liable to deduct TDS under Section 51 (specified government departments and notified entities); Section 24(x) read with Section 52 covers TCS collectors. TDS deductors and TCS collectors obtain a separate registration in Form REG-07 in the TDS or TCS category — this is distinct from any regular GSTIN they may hold for their own supplies. The TDS deductor files GSTR-7 monthly; the TCS collector files GSTR-8 monthly.

What Tambaram West clients usually ask next: For Tambaram West engagements specifically — where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme; for the professional and salaried population of Tambaram West navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — Tambaram West businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme.

Place of Supply

The place where a supply is considered to take place under the GST law. Determines whether a transaction is intra-State (CGST + SGST) or inter-State (IGST). Sections 10 and 12 of the IGST Act govern.

Time of Supply

The point in time at which the liability to pay GST arises. Sections 12 and 13 of the CGST Act prescribe time of supply for goods and services respectively.

B2B Supply

Business-to-business supply where the recipient is a registered person. Invoice-level details are required to be declared in GSTR-1 to enable recipient ITC.

B2C Supply

Business-to-consumer supply where the recipient is unregistered or a final consumer. Aggregate-level details are declared in GSTR-1; HSN-summary still required.

Inter-State Supply

Supply where the location of supplier and the place of supply are in two different States. Attracts IGST. Triggers compulsory registration under Section 24(i) regardless of turnover.

Intra-State Supply

Supply where the location of supplier and the place of supply are in the same State. Attracts CGST plus SGST.

Bill to Ship to

Mode of supply where the buyer (bill-to) and recipient (ship-to) are different — e.g. direct delivery to buyer's customer. ITC entitlement is to the bill-to party per Section 16(2)(b) Explanation read with Press Release dated 23 April 2018.

e-Way Bill

Electronic waybill generated for movement of goods of value exceeding ₹50,000 (or lower in some States). Mandatory under Rule 138. Non-generation triggers detention and penalty under Section 129.

Letter of Undertaking

LUT — undertaking filed by an exporter to make exports of goods or services without payment of IGST. Filed in Form RFD-11 and valid for the financial year.

Special Economic Zone

SEZ — duty-free enclave deemed to be foreign territory for the purposes of trade operations and duties. Supplies to SEZ are zero-rated under Section 16 of the IGST Act.

Zero-Rated Supply

Supply of goods or services where the GST liability is zero but the supplier is entitled to claim ITC on inputs. Includes exports and supplies to SEZ. Section 16 of the IGST Act.

Mixed Supply

Two or more individual supplies of goods or services made for a single price, none of which are naturally bundled. Taxed at the rate of the supply that attracts the highest rate of tax.

Cost of Non-Compliance

Real-world penalty exposure

Numerical examples showing tax + interest + penalty across common default scenarios.

Penalty exposure typical of this micro-market — Tambaram West businesses operate where Tambaram West businesses in the retail arm find that businesses face GST classification disputes cash-sales reconciliation and frequent Rule 138E e-way block alerts.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Tambaram West

How the local trade mix shapes this — Tambaram West businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme, and the business activity radiating outward from Tambaram Railway Station West and nearby commercial pockets.

Healthcare
Common issue: Healthcare clinics and hospitals often miss the GST registration trigger that arises from the pharmacy arm sales to walk-ins. Healthcare services are exempt under Notification 12/2017-CT(R) but pharmacy supplies to non-patients are taxable.
How we handle it: Register on the basis of the pharmacy arm alone if its turnover crosses ₹40 lakh; declare exempt healthcare receipts under nil-rated head in GSTR-1; apportion ITC under Rule 42 between exempt and taxable arms.
Retail
Common issue: Family-run retail clusters where multiple units operate under the same PAN often miss the aggregate-turnover rule. Section 2(6) computes aggregate turnover PAN-wise across all branches and States; the threshold applies to the sum, not to each branch.
How we handle it: Compute aggregate turnover PAN-wise on a rolling 12-month basis; if combined turnover approaches the threshold, register one GSTIN covering all branches as principal and additional places, or opt for composition if eligibility holds.
Education
Common issue: Coaching institutes often misclassify educational services as exempt under Notification 12/2017-CT(R). Only educational services up to higher secondary (and notified vocational courses) are exempt; commercial coaching at any level above is taxable at 18%.
How we handle it: Register on the coaching turnover; declare any genuinely exempt arm (formal school, Section 12AA-approved educational supplies) under nil-rated head; ensure faculty TDS under Section 194J is captured in parallel.
Residential
Common issue: Personal-tax-only filers sometimes obtain GST registration unnecessarily when they start a side-gig that does not yet meet threshold. The overhead of monthly returns is then a sunk cost.
How we handle it: Don't register voluntarily unless the side-gig has crossed ₹20 lakh threshold or is making inter-State / e-commerce supplies; voluntary registration once obtained requires the same monthly compliance as any registered person.
Pharmaceuticals
Common issue: Pharma distributors expanding across States miss the multi-State registration obligation. Each State of operation requires a separate GSTIN under Section 25(1); inter-State stock transfer without proper invoicing triggers detention under Section 129.
How we handle it: Plan multi-State registration ahead of branch opening; register in each State 30 days before the first taxable supply from that State; ensure inter-State stock transfers carry valid invoices and e-way bills.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

A flavour of cases we handle nearby — Tambaram West businesses operate where where standalone retail and small-format stores operate just above the GST threshold often under the composition scheme, and Tambaram West businesses in the retail arm find that businesses face GST classification disputes cash-sales reconciliation and frequent Rule 138E e-way block alerts.

Trust registrationEducation

Trust registers for taxable supplies

Issue: A registered educational trust running a coaching arm in addition to its core school activity crossed the ₹20 lakh threshold on the coaching arm alone. Educational supplies under Notification 12/2017-CT(R) Sl 66 are exempt, but commercial coaching at 18% is taxable.
Approach: Examined Section 8 composite-supply rule, concluded the coaching arm was a separate taxable supply, filed REG-01 with the trust's PAN, captured both school and coaching premises (the latter as the taxable arm), captured the trust deed in supporting documents.
Outcome: GSTIN granted in 8 working days; tax-exempt supplies (school fees) shown under nil-rated head; coaching revenue captured under 18% taxable; ITC apportionment under Rule 42 between exempt and taxable arms.
Constitution changeRetail

Family business converts proprietorship to partnership

Issue: A family-run textile retail business in T Nagar wanted to convert from sole proprietorship to a four-partner partnership for succession planning. The old GSTIN was on the proprietor's PAN; the new partnership had a separate PAN.
Approach: Filed REG-16 voluntary cancellation of old GSTIN on the basis of transfer of business; simultaneously filed fresh REG-01 for the new partnership firm; ensured stock-in-hand was transferred under Section 18(3) with corresponding ITC transfer in ITC-02.
Outcome: Old GSTIN cancelled with effective date matching the partnership-deed date; new partnership GSTIN issued in 5 working days; ITC of ₹2.4 lakh transferred via ITC-02; GSTR-10 final return filed for the old GSTIN within three months.
Address amendmentHealthcare

Healthcare clinic moves premises

Issue: A multi-doctor specialty clinic in Mylapore relocated to Adyar mid-year and needed to amend the principal place of business in the GST registration. Section 28 and Rule 19 require amendment within 15 days.
Approach: Filed REG-14 amendment within 10 days of the actual move; new address documents (rent agreement plus electricity bill plus NOC) submitted; verification was triggered for the new premises since aggregate turnover was above ₹5 crore.
Outcome: REG-14 approved with REG-15 amendment order; physical verification completed without adverse remarks; GSTIN continues with the new address from the move date; old-address invoices for the bridging week reissued.
Branch additionEducation

Education trust adds new branch

Issue: An educational trust in Velachery operating an existing coaching arm under GST registration opened a second branch in Tambaram. The new branch had to be added as an additional place of business in the existing GSTIN.
Approach: Filed REG-14 amendment within 10 days of opening; new branch address proof submitted (rent agreement plus electricity bill plus NOC); the change was auto-approved without officer intervention since it was an additional place addition (not principal place change).
Outcome: REG-14 auto-approved; new branch added as additional place of business; first-month invoicing from the new branch captured under the same GSTIN; consolidated GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B continued.

Why these Tambaram West engagements look the way they do: For Tambaram West engagements specifically — the business activity radiating outward from Tambaram Railway Station West and nearby commercial pockets; for the professional and salaried population of Tambaram West navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.

Common Questions

GST Registration FAQ — Tambaram West

Common questions from Tambaram West clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

In Tamil Nadu the threshold for compulsory GST registration is aggregate annual turnover of ₹40 lakh for exclusive suppliers of goods and ₹20 lakh for suppliers of services or mixed supplies under Section 22 of the CGST Act 2017 read with Notification 10/2019-Central Tax. Aggregate turnover is computed PAN-wise across all GSTINs in India and includes taxable, exempt, exports and inter-state supplies.
If Aadhaar authentication fails or is not opted, the application is routed for physical verification under Rule 9 read with Rule 25. The proper officer or authorised representative visits the declared principal place of business, takes geo-tagged photographs, verifies documents and uploads a verification report in REG-30 within 15 working days. Approval timeline extends to 30 days from REG-01 submission.
Absolutely. Most Tambaram West clients complete the entire GST Registration process remotely — we collect documents on WhatsApp or email, share drafts for your approval, and file on your behalf. A visit to our Maduravoyal office is optional, never required.
The State-wise design under Section 25(1) of the CGST Act reflects the constitutional bargain captured in Article 246A and Article 279A, under which both the Union and the States retain concurrent authority to levy GST on intra-State supplies. A single national registration would have collapsed this dual sovereignty into a Union construct, undermining the fiscal-federal foundation of the regime. By contrast, the OECD International VAT Guidelines contemplate a single registration because most member jurisdictions are unitary. The Indian model accepts a higher administrative cost in exchange for preserving the consumption-tax claim of each destination State.
Yes. Sub-section (3) of Section 25 expressly provides that all provisions of the Act, as are applicable to a registered person, shall apply to a voluntary registrant from the effective date of registration. Returns under Section 39, tax payment under Section 49, e-invoicing where Notification 10/2023 thresholds apply, e-way bill compliance and audit trail under Section 35 attach in identical measure. A voluntary GSTIN, once granted, may not be surrendered for twelve months from its effective date except on the limited grounds enumerated in Section 29(1). The strategic case for voluntary registration rests on input tax credit pass-through and B2B credibility, weighed against this compliance obligation.
Our GST Registration fees are fixed and shared in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprises. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case, not your location, so Tambaram West clients pay the same transparent rates as everyone else. See the pricing section above or call 9566-068-468 for an exact figure.
A virtual office can serve as principal place of business only if it is a genuine commercial address with documented ownership/lease, NOC from the owner of the premises, and physical accessibility to the proper officer for verification under Rule 25. Pure mailbox or co-working hot-desk arrangements without dedicated space have repeatedly been rejected by jurisdictional officers and upheld in AAR rulings.
Form GST REG-04 is the prescribed reply to a REG-03 deficiency notice, filed online within 7 working days. It allows the applicant to upload additional documents, clarify business details, correct address proof or address any specific query raised by the proper officer. After REG-04 is filed the officer has 7 working days to either approve or reject the registration.
Yes. Every GST Registration engagement is handled with strict confidentiality — your documents and data are used only for your work and never shared. Tambaram West clients deal with the same trusted team throughout, so your information stays in one place.
For a Pvt Ltd company — PAN of the company, Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, PAN and Aadhaar of all directors, photographs of directors and the authorised signatory, board resolution authorising the signatory in Form INC-32 format, proof of registered office (EB bill, rent agreement plus NOC), bank proof and DSC of authorised signatory. The DIN of directors is also captured.
Section 25(3) of the CGST Act permits voluntary registration by persons not otherwise liable under Section 22 or Section 24. In comparative perspective, most OECD VAT jurisdictions similarly permit voluntary registration, recognising that below-threshold suppliers may rationally elect into the system to recover input tax credit and to enhance B2B credibility. The OECD International VAT Guidelines treat voluntary registrants on par with mandatory registrants, a position the Indian framework also adopts. The one-year minimum-stay condition in Rule 20 is, however, distinctive to India, designed to prevent strategic registration cycling around fiscal year boundaries.
Yes. Tambaram West has an active base of residential and allied businesses, and we regularly handle GST Registration for exactly these kinds of clients. We tailor the approach to your line of work rather than applying a one-size template.
Form GST REG-05 is the order of rejection of registration application issued by the proper officer when REG-04 reply is unsatisfactory or not filed, when documents are forged, or when verification reveals the applicant does not exist at the declared premises. The applicant may file a fresh REG-01 addressing the rejection grounds; appeal under Section 107 is also available within 3 months.
The original Section 22 threshold of twenty lakh rupees applied uniformly. Notification 10/2019-Central Tax raised the limit to forty lakh rupees only for exclusive suppliers of goods, leaving services at the earlier floor. The policy rationale, recorded in the 32nd GST Council recommendation, was that small traders had borne a disproportionately high compliance burden inherited from the State VAT regimes, where similar threshold relief had existed. Service suppliers, by contrast, faced a harmonised national service tax framework before GST and did not require equivalent transitional relief. The bifurcation thus addresses asymmetric historical compliance experience rather than economic difference.
Section 25(1) requires a person liable to register to apply within thirty days from the date on which liability arises. Failure attracts Section 122(1)(xi) penalty of ten thousand rupees or the tax evaded, whichever is higher. Independently, supplies made in the unregistered interval remain taxable, and the recipient cannot claim input tax credit on such supplies under Section 16, since the supplier is not a registered person. The combined effect is a cascading cost: penalty on the supplier, irrecoverable tax in the chain and erosion of commercial relationships, all of which the timely-filing window is designed to prevent.
The 15-digit GSTIN follows a fixed pattern — first 2 digits are the State code (33 for Tamil Nadu), next 10 are the entity's PAN, the 13th is the entity code distinguishing multiple registrations on the same PAN within a State, the 14th is fixed as 'Z' and the 15th is a system-generated checksum. This structure is set out in Section 25 read with Rule 10.
