GST – Multistate Registration Functionality Introduced

The GST Common Portal has introduced a “Multistate Registration” functionality, enabling taxpayers to apply for GST registration in multiple States/UTs under the same PAN through a single process. The functionality is currently available only to Normal Taxpayers.

The registration process can be completed through the following workflow:

1. Taxpayers can access the “Multistate Registration” tab on the GST Common Portal and select the States/UTs in which registration is required.
2. Upon selection of the States/UTs, a Master TRN is generated. Using the Master TRN, the applicant is required to provide Common Registration Information (CRI), including business details, promoter/partner details, authorised signatory/representative details, and details of goods and services.
3. The Master TRN must be submitted within 15 days.
4. Once the CRI is submitted, individual TRNs are generated for each selected State/UT.
5. The common information submitted through the CRI is automatically populated in the respective State/UT registration applications and remains editable, where required.
6. The applicant is thereafter required to provide State-specific information, including details of the Principal Place of Business, Additional Place of Business, State-specific information and Aadhaar authentication.

Accordingly, the applicant is not required to enter the common information separately for each State/UT, thereby reducing repetitive data entry and streamlining the GST registration process for businesses operating across multiple States/UTs.
