Documents Required for GST Registration in India
GST registration is mostly a paperwork exercise. If your documents are complete and consistent, it is quick. Here is the standard checklist.
Identity and business documents
- PAN of the business or proprietor
- Aadhaar and photo of the authorised signatory
- Proof of business constitution - partnership deed, incorporation certificate, etc.
- Bank account details
Address proof
- Rent agreement for the place of business
- Owner NOC with consent for GST (for rented or virtual addresses)
- Recent utility bill such as electricity or property tax receipt
Keep it consistent
The business name, address and dates must match across every document. Most rejections come from a mismatch, not from a missing rule.
