If you're starting a business or scaling an existing one, registering for GST (Goods and Services Tax) is a crucial step. It’s more than just a regulatory requirement, it’s a way to establish your business's credibility, simplify your tax structure, and gain access to a nationwide market.

At DLanzer, we help entrepreneurs, freelancers, and businesses like yours register for GST seamlessly. To clarify things, here's a step-by-step breakdown of how online GST registration works in India and how we make it easy for you.

What Is GST and Why Does It Matter?

GST is a unified tax that replaced multiple indirect taxes in India. Every business that exceeds a certain turnover threshold, or operates across state borders, must register under GST. Even small businesses, e-commerce sellers, and freelancers benefit from registering voluntarily.

GST registration helps you:

  • Avoid legal penalties and fines
  • Claim input tax credit
  • Do business with larger companies
  • Establish legitimacy with customers and vendors
  • Step-by-Step Guide to Online GST Registration

    Here’s how the process unfolds when you register through the GST Portal, or let us at DLanzer handle it for you:

    Step 1: Visit the GST Portal

    Head over to the official GST portal and click on "Register Now" under the ‘Taxpayers’ section.

    Step 2: Fill Part A – Basic Details

    You’ll need to enter:

  • Business Name (as per PAN)
  • PAN Number
  • Mobile number and Email (for OTP verification)
  • State and District
  • Once verified via OTP, you’ll get a Temporary Reference Number (TRN).

    Step 3: Log in Using TRN

    Using the TRN, log back into the portal and proceed to Part B, where you'll need to provide detailed information.

    Step 4: Fill Part B – Business Information & Upload Documents

    Here, you’ll provide:

  • Legal name and trade name
  • Constitution of the business (proprietorship, partnership, etc.)
  • Address of the principal place of business
  • Bank account details
  • Details of promoters/directors
  • Authorized signatory
  • Documents Required:

  • PAN Card of the business owner or entity
  • Aadhaar Card
  • Proof of business address (rent agreement or utility bill)
  • Bank statement or cancelled cheque
  • Digital photo of owner/partners
  • Incorporation certificate (if applicable)
  • Step 5: Verification and Submission

    Once everything is filled out and documents uploaded:

  • Companies/LLPs must sign using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
  • Proprietors/others can use the Electronic Verification Code (EVC)
  • Step 6: Receive ARN

    After submission, you’ll receive an Application Reference Number (ARN) via SMS and email. This lets you track your application.

    Step 7: Get Your GSTIN

    Once the application is reviewed and approved by a GST officer, you’ll receive your GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) and GST registration certificate. The process usually takes 3–7 business days, assuming no discrepancies.
