Step 1: Start by visiting the GST portal at https://www.gst.gov.in/. Click on the “Registration” button under the ‘Services’ tab. Then, select “New Registration.”

Step 2: This is Part-A of the GST REG-01 form, where you’ll need to provide the following information:

  • Choose the appropriate option from the drop-down menu in the box labeled ‘I am a,’ such as Taxpayers, Tax Collectors, or Tax Deductors.
  • Fill in the required information for State/Union Territory, District, Legal name of the business (as per PAN), PAN number, email, and mobile number.
  • The GST portal will send a one-time password (OTP) to your email ID and mobile number. Once you’ve entered all the information, click “Proceed.”

Step 3: A new page will appear, asking for the OTP sent to your email and mobile number. After verifying the OTP, click “Continue.”

Step 6: On another page, you’ll see the status of your GST REG-01 form as ‘Draft.’ This is because only Part A was completed so far. Click on the ‘Action’ button to begin Part B.

Part B of GST REG-01

Part B consists of approximately 27 different points with 10 sub-heads that must be completed accurately.

It’s important to note that information in these sections cannot be revised later, so be meticulous.

After addressing these points, proceed with Aadhaar authentication and document uploads to complete the GST registration process.
