GST registration is the single most-asked question we get from new businesses across Ghaziabad and Greater Noida. Here’s what actually matters in 2026.
Who needs GST registration?
- Mandatory if your turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh in special category states) or ₹20 lakh for services.
- Mandatory regardless of turnover if you sell inter-state, run an e-commerce business (Amazon, Flipkart, your own Shopify), or supply through an aggregator like Swiggy / Zomato.
- Voluntary if you want to claim input tax credit on purchases, even below the threshold — many B2B suppliers prefer GST-registered vendors.
Documents required
- PAN of the business (or proprietor’s PAN for sole proprietorship)
- Aadhaar of the proprietor / authorised signatory
- Business address proof — most-recent electricity bill plus an NOC from the owner, or a rent agreement in the business’s name
- Bank account proof — first page of passbook or a cancelled cheque
- Passport-size photograph and digital signature of the authorised person
How long does it take?
Typical turnaround is 7 to 10 working days, assuming no clarification (“query”) is raised by the GST officer. The most common delays are:
- Address proof mismatch — the bill must match the principal place of business exactly
- Aadhaar OTP failures — make sure your Aadhaar-linked mobile is active
- Bank proof not in the business name (for non-proprietors)
Common rejection reasons (and how to avoid them)
If a clarification notice is issued, you have 7 days to respond. Missing this deadline means starting the whole application again.
Most rejections we see at Brothers Capital come from three things: blurry document scans, mismatched names between PAN and Aadhaar, and incomplete address details. We handle clarifications same-day for all our clients.
What happens after registration
Once approved, you receive your 15-digit GSTIN. From that month onward, you’ll need to file:
- GSTR-1 — outward supplies (monthly or quarterly)
- GSTR-3B — summary return + tax payment (monthly)
- GSTR-9 — annual return
