You’ll get an OTP (One Time Password) on your registered mobile number and email (or PAN-linked contact details).

Aadhaar Authentication (if you choose it)

Choose if you want to join the Composition Scheme (Yes/No).
Mention whether you are a Manufacturer, Service Provider, or any other type.
Enter the Date your Business Started and the Date when you became liable for GST.

Here’s what you need to do:

Enter the full address – district, sector/ward, division code, and range code.
Add your official phone number.
Mention if the place is rented, owned, or shared.
Upload the supporting documents:
If it’s a rented place, upload a rent agreement or No Objection Certificate (NOC).

Select the type of business activity done at this place (like manufacturing, trading, etc.).

Important:
If you are applying on behalf of a company under insolvency (CIRP), you must give original registration details too.

Click Save & Continue once you’re done.

You can add up to 10 bank accounts, but it’s optional right now.
(Earlier it was mandatory, but not anymore since December 2018.)
If you skip it now, don’t worry — after getting your GSTIN, the portal will remind you to update your bank details later.
If you choose to add now:

Enter bank name, branch, account number, and IFSC code.
Upload a copy of your bank passbook or statement.

Step 14 – Fill State-Specific Information
Depending on your state, you may need to enter:

Professional Tax Employee Code
PT Registration Certificate Number
State Excise License details (if you deal in liquor, etc.)
Fill in whatever is applicable and Save & Continue.

Step 15 – Aadhaar Authentication
Next, decide if you want to do Aadhaar authentication.
✅ If you complete Aadhaar authentication, the officer usually won’t visit your place for physical verification (makes the process faster!).
Just follow the steps shown — it’s quick and safe.
