Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration is an essential step to legally and credibly operate a business in India. Issued by the Government of India through the GST portal, GST registration provides your business with a GST Identification Number (GSTIN) that allows you to collect tax benefits, claim ITC, and meet statutory requirements under the GST law.
Kanakkupillai provides end-to-end support, making GST registration faster and more efficient through digitalisation. Our experts complete every step of the process for you, helping businesses obtain their GST registration within 2 to 3 working days, subject to government processing timelines.
What is GST?
GST stands for goods and services tax. It is a single tax levied on the supply of goods and services at each stage of the value chain. It was introduced to replace excise duty, service tax, VAT, octroi, and entry tax, among others. The GST is collected where goods/services are consumed.
Types of GST in India
1. CGST
Central Goods and Services Tax. It is levied by the central government when the buyer and the seller are in the same state.
2. SGST
State Goods and Services Tax. It is levied by the state government on the state where goods or services are consumed. It is applicable in addition to CGST on intra-state supply of goods and services.
3. IGST
Integrated Goods and Services Tax. It is applied by the central government when goods/services move from one state to another or are imported/exported.
4. UTGST
Union Territory Goods and Services Tax. It is levied by the central government when both the buyer and the seller are in the same Union Territory without a legislature, such as Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Why is GST Registration Mandatory for E-commerce Sellers?
- No Threshold Limit: Even the small sellers must register under GST.
- Tax Collection: Required to collect and remit GST on sales.
- Input Tax Credit: It helps sellers to claim credit on purchases.
- Platform Requirement: Amazon and Flipkart require GST details to list the products.
GST registration is an essential requirement for most Amazon and Flipkart sellers in India, ensuring legal compliance and business growth. Whether you operate from Chennai, Bangalore, or Mumbai, GST registration is essential for smooth and legal operations.
Do Amazon and Flipkart Sellers Need GST Registration?
Selling on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart requires compliance with the GST laws in India. Unlike traditional businesses, e-commerce sellers must obtain GST registration irrespective of their turnover. This rule applies because such platforms are treated as e-commerce operators under GST regulations.
Benefits of GST Registration
When you apply for GST registration, you benefit from the following:
1. Save Tax Immediately - Claim ITC from Day One
When businesses buy goods/services, they need to pay the GST on those purchases. Later, when the business sells goods or services, it collects GST from its customers. The Input Tax Credit (ITC) allows a business to deduct the GST it has already paid on purchases (inputs) from the GST it has collected on sales (outputs).
For example, if you buy goods for ₹1,00,000 and pay ₹18,000 as GST, and later sell the finished product for ₹2,00,000 and collect ₹36,000 GST, you can deduct the ₹18,000 paid on your purchases from the ₹36,000 you collect on sales; thus, you pay only ₹18,000 to the government.
2. Business Credibility and Trust
Many businesses, especially in B2B transactions, prefer dealing with businesses registered with the GST. Registration provides credibility to your business and instils trust with your customers, suppliers, and investors.
3. Access to the Government Tenders and Contracts
Many government contracts, tenders, and projects require businesses to be GST-registered, especially the public sector undertakings (PSUs) and government procurement processes. Without GST registration, your business will be ineligible to participate in most of the government tenders.
4. Sell Anywhere in India - No State Barriers
A business registered under GST can conduct inter-state transactions without any limitations.
5. Export Without Paying GST - Zero-Rated Advantage
In GST, exports are zero-rated. This means that you don't have to pay GST on goods or services sold outside India. If you are a GST-registered exporter, you can claim a refund of the GST you already paid on raw materials, goods, or services used to make the exported product.
6. Access to GST-Linked Schemes
Several GST-related schemes are available for small businesses. Many small businesses with a turnover of up to ₹1.5 crore can opt for the Composition Scheme under GST. This scheme allows them to pay tax at a lower rate on their turnover without the need to maintain detailed records. Our GST Advisory Services can help you choose the right scheme for your business.
7. Get Loans Faster - Banks Trust GST Registered Businesses
Businesses registered for GST have greater credibility when seeking loans from banks and financial institutions.

Online Process of GST Registration in India
Obtaining your GST Registration will be straightforward if you follow the steps outlined below:
Prepare Your Required Documents
Before registering, make sure you collect all the necessary documents, including: PAN card; Adhar card; Proof of business address (electricity, water bill, lease agreement or similar); Bank proof (account statement, check, etc), and Entity Specific Documents (Partnership Deed; MOA; AOA)
Create Account on GST Portal
Visit www.gst.gov.in to register for an account by entering your PAN number and selecting your Taxpayer type
Fill Out the GST Registration Form
You will need to provide the following information to complete your application: Name of Business, Trading Name, Business Address, Bank Information, and Delegated signatories.
Upload Required Documents
After completing your registration form on the GST portal, you will be required to upload your supporting documents, such as your PAN card, Aadhaar card, proof of business address, proof of bank account, and Digital Signature Certificate (if applicable)
Track Application
Once you submit your application, you will receive an Application Reference Number (ARN) via email/text message. Please keep this DOB for future reference and to track your application's progress. You should also respond quickly to any requests for additional information from GST once the ARN has been issued.
Receive GSTIN and GST Registration Certificate
Once your application has been approved by GST, you will receive both the Digital GSTIN and Digital GST Registration Certificate.
File GST Returns
Once you have received your GSTIN Number, you should begin filing GST returns either monthly or quarterly. You should also maintain accurate records with the help of accounting services in India. If you ever cancel your registration, you will be required to file a GSTR-10 Final Return as a final compliance step.
From start to finish, most firms can get a GSTIN within a week, making it one of the fastest legal registrations to unlock compliance and business advantages.
| Step | Typical Timeframe | Action |
| Document preparation | 1-2 days | Collect PAN, Aadhaar, proof of business address, bank proof, and DSC (if required) to avoid delays. |
| Online application submission | Same day | Fill the REG-01 form and upload documents; ensure accuracy to avoid rejection. |
| ARN issuance & verification | 1 day | You get an Application Reference Number (ARN) instantly to track your registration. |
| Verification by GST authorities | 1-3 working days | Low-risk applications can be auto-approved in 3 days; some cases may take longer if additional information is required |
| GSTIN issuance | 3-7 working days | Once approved, GSTIN and a certificate are issued digitally; you can start operating legally and claim input tax credit immediately. |
GST Compliance After Registration
Once your GST registration is approved and GSTIN is issued, compliance responsibilities begin immediately. Proper GST Return Filing, correct HSN/SAC classification, and timely updates are essential to avoid penalties and ensure uninterrupted business operations.
GST Return Filing & Reporting
Every registered business must file periodic GST returns based on turnover and scheme eligibility.
- GST Return Filing (GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B) - Monthly or quarterly return filing as applicable.
- GST Nil Return Filing - Mandatory filing even when there are no transactions.
- GST Annual Return Filing (GSTR-9) - Annual compliance summary under GST law.
- GSTR-10 Final Return Filing - Required when cancelling GST registration.
HSN / SAC Code Compliance
Businesses must correctly classify goods and services using HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes for goods and SAC (Service Accounting Codes) for services. Incorrect classification can result in notices, tax mismatches, or penalties during scrutiny — making periodic GST Audit a smart practice for every registered business.
LUT Filing for Exporters
GST LUT Filing - Submit a Letter of Undertaking to export goods or services without paying IGST.
Amendments & Registration Updates
Business changes must be updated on the GST portal within the prescribed time limits.
- GST Registration Amendment - Update address, partners, bank details, or authorized signatory.
- GST Registration Cancellation - Required when discontinuing business operations.
- GST Revocation Services - Restore cancelled or suspended GST registration.
GST Advisory & Notice Handling
Businesses may receive notices due to return mismatches, ITC discrepancies, delayed filings, or incorrect HSN/SAC reporting. Timely professional intervention prevents penalties and operational disruption.
- GST Notice Reply - Assistance in drafting and submitting replies to GST notices.
- GST Advisory Services - Expert consultation for ongoing compliance planning and risk mitigation.
Common Reasons GST Applications Get Rejected
Even though GST registration is processed online through the Goods and Services Tax Network under the supervision of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, many applications are rejected due to simple errors:
Address Proof Mismatch
- Business address does not match the address on the utility bill, rent agreement, or supporting documents.
Aadhaar Authentication Failure
- Name mismatch between PAN and Aadhaar or OTP verification issues.
Wrong Business Activity Selection
- Incorrect business type or HSN/SAC codes selected.
Signature / DSC Errors
- Expired or invalid Digital Signature Certificate, or incorrect authorized signatory details.
Incorrect Bank Details
- Wrong account number, IFSC code, or unclear cancelled cheque.
Our experts review your documents to reduce the risk of rejection, ensuring accurate filing and faster approval of your GST registration.

Gather necessary documents → create a user account on GST Portal → fill out REG-1 → upload documents → submit, receive your ARN → get approval → receive your GSTIN.
Low-risk applications typically take 3-7 working days from the date of submission provided all supporting documents are correct.
For the most part, GST registration is at no cost to the applicant, however, the applicant may incur costs associated with obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for a company or LLP, or hiring a professional to assist him/her with the application.
A DSC is compulsory to verify the identity of a company or LLP when digitally signing forms/forms securely; which results in submitting a valid application and receiving quicker approval.
Yes, non-resident persons wishing to supply goods or services to India must register for GST before commencing business in India.
The ARN is generated at the time of submission of the application and is issued to allow the applicant to track the status of their application online.
To check the status of your GST registration application, log on to the GST portal by using your ARN number and responding to any challenges or questions promptly.
You can register for GST voluntarily, provided you would like to claim input tax credit, build credibility for your business, and can sell to customers outside of your State, or on an online platform.
Input tax credit, legal compliance, eligibility to bid for government contracts, eligibility to sell on e-commerce platforms, and building trust/credibility for your business.
With GST registration, you will have the ability to offset the GST you have paid on your purchases from the GST you collect on your sales and thereby reduce your overall tax liability and improve your cash flow.
No. If you sell products to consumers in another State without having GST registration, you may face penalties or have your transactions blocked.
Yes, the frequency at which you must submit your GST returns will depend on your total sales for the year, as well as your tax classification type. Most businesses must submit a GSTR-3B form each month and a GSTR-1 form every quarter.
GSTR-1 contains all details about goods that you have sold to your customers. Whereas GSTR-3B is primarily a summary of the sales and purchases you made during that month, along with summary of tax liability.
No, e-invoicing only applies to companies whose annual sales are more than ₹50 lakh per year (as prescribed by government).
Yes, because businesses must comply with government regulations, having a GST registration number will demonstrate a commitment to legal compliance (which builds confidence with customers and vendors).
