Updated for 2026. This article was revised on 10 November 2026 for the Income-tax Act, 2025, Budget 2026 and GST 2.0.
1. When is GST registration compulsory?
- Turnover above ₹40 lakh for suppliers of only goods, or ₹20 lakh for services — Haryana is a normal-category state.
- Inter-state supply of goods, whatever the turnover.
- Selling goods online to customers in other states. Small sellers supplying only within Haryana through e-commerce can stay unregistered below the threshold, subject to conditions.
- Persons liable to pay tax under reverse charge, casual taxable persons, input service distributors and others listed in the law.
2. Documents you need
- PAN of the business/proprietor; Aadhaar and photographs of the proprietor, partners or directors.
- Proof of the business address — electricity bill or property-tax receipt — plus a rent agreement or the owner's NOC.
- Bank account proof — cancelled cheque or statement.
- Partnership deed or certificate of incorporation, and an authorisation for the signatory.
- Main goods/services with HSN/SAC codes.
Tick them off in our GST registration checklist.
3. Step by step on the GST portal
- Part A: enter PAN, mobile and email, verify OTPs, and get a Temporary Reference Number (TRN).
- Part B (Form REG-01): business details, promoters, address, bank, goods and services; upload documents.
- Aadhaar authentication — if the system flags the application, a biometric verification appointment at a GST Suvidha Kendra may be required.
- Submit with EVC or DSC and note the ARN.
- The officer may raise a query (REG-03); reply within 7 working days in REG-04.
- Approval in REG-06 — normally within 7 working days, or up to 30 days if physical verification is ordered.
4. After you get the GSTIN
- Your GSTIN starts with 06 — Haryana's state code — followed by your PAN.
- Display the registration certificate and GSTIN at your place of business.
- Choose monthly filing or QRMP (quarterly returns, monthly payment) if turnover is up to ₹5 crore; small B2C traders may consider composition.
- Set up GST-compliant invoices with HSN codes and the right GST 2.0 rates.
- Diary the dates: GSTR-1 by the 11th (or 13th quarterly), GSTR-3B by the 20th (24th quarterly in Haryana).
Common reasons applications get stuck
- Address proof in a different name without a proper NOC or rent agreement.
- Unclear photographs or mismatched details between PAN and Aadhaar.
- Aadhaar authentication not completed.
- Wrong jurisdiction or business activity codes.
