📋 GST Registration Document Checklist: Everything You Need Before You Apply

Getting your 15-digit GSTIN number is mandatory for growing businesses in India, but missing even one document can cause registration delays or immediate application rejection.

Whether you're running a sole proprietorship, partnership, or Private Limited company, here is a quick breakdown of what you need to gather before hitting the portal:

1. Identity & Address Proofs:

PAN Card & Aadhaar Card (for primary applicant/directors)

Passport-size photos (JPEG format, under 100 KB)

2. Principal Business Address Proof:

Owned: Recent electricity bill or property tax receipt

Rented: Valid Rent/Lease Agreement + Landlord’s utility bill + NOC

3. Bank Verification:

Cancelled cheque or first page of bank passbook displaying the legal entity name and IFSC code.

💡 Note: Entity-specific setups (like LLPs or Companies) also require incorporation certificates and authorization letters signed by partners/directors.
