GST Registration Online — Process, Documents & CA-Filed, Pan-India
GST registration in India is done online on the GST portal and typically takes 3–7 working days once documents are in order. It is mandatory above ₹40 lakh annual turnover for goods (₹20 lakh for services; lower thresholds in special-category states), for inter-state supply, and for selling through most e-commerce operators. MobiFirm's in-house team prepares and files the application for you, replies to any departmental queries, and hands you a clean GSTIN — quoted transparently before we start, serving businesses across India.
Who must register for GST
- Businesses selling goods with annual turnover above ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh in special-category states)
- Service providers with turnover above ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special-category states)
- Anyone making inter-state taxable supplies, regardless of turnover
- Sellers on e-commerce platforms where the operator collects TCS — registration is generally required regardless of turnover
- Voluntary registration: many small businesses register early to claim input tax credit and look credible to B2B buyers
Documents you need
- PAN and Aadhaar of the proprietor / partners / directors
- Passport-size photo
- Business address proof — electricity bill, rent agreement with owner's NOC, or property tax receipt

How the process works with us
- 1. Share documents on WhatsApp or email — we check them the same day and tell you if anything is missing.
- 2. We prepare and file — application drafted and submitted on the GST portal with Aadhaar authentication.
- 3. We handle queries — if the department raises a clarification, we draft and file the reply.
- 4. You receive your GSTIN — usually within 3–7 working days, with guidance on invoicing and your first filings.
After registration: filing is the real work
A GSTIN comes with monthly or quarterly return obligations (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) even in months with zero sales — missed filings attract late fees per day. Our team files these for clients year-round. If you run your store on MobiFirm's Advance plan (₹1,000/month), GST filing under ₹50 lakh turnover, ITR, trade-licence renewal and professional-tax filings are already included with your online store.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does GST registration take?
- Typically 3–7 working days after submission with Aadhaar authentication, if documents are clean and no departmental query is raised. With a query, add a few days for the reply and re-verification.
- What does GST registration cost?
- The government charges no fee for GST registration itself. You pay only the professional fee for preparation, filing and query handling — we quote it transparently before starting, within one business day of your enquiry.
- Do I need GST to sell online?
- To sell on marketplaces like Amazon or Flipkart, generally yes — they require a GSTIN. On your own website, the normal turnover thresholds apply (₹40 lakh goods / ₹20 lakh services), so many small sellers can legally start on their own store without GST and register when they grow.
- Can I register from any state in India?
- Yes. The process is fully online — we serve clients across India, from metros to tier-3 towns, with the same process and pricing.
- What returns do I file after getting a GSTIN?
- GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and GSTR-3B (summary + tax payment), monthly or quarterly under the QRMP scheme. These are due even for zero-sales months. Our team can file them for you, and they are included free with the MobiFirm Advance store plan under ₹50 lakh turnover.
