How to Check Your GST Application Status Using TRN

Where to check
Use the 'Track Application Status' option on the GST portal and enter your TRN and the captcha. You will see the current status and any pending action.
Common statuses
- Pending for processing
- Clarification sought - you must respond
- Approved - your GSTIN is issued
