New GST Registration

[Sunil Arora]

We are exporter of printed materials. Currently have PAN only (and all required doc) and not registered for VAT or sales tax as none applies.

DO we need to wait for registration or we can file NEW registration now. (There is nothing to port from no excise/ ST or VAT)

Pl. suggest

In my view, new registration will be from the date of GST implementation.

AI Summary

GST registration: new registrations take effect from the date of GST implementation; exporters without prior VAT require fresh registration. New registration for GST will be effective from the date of GST implementation; where no excise, sales tax or VAT registrations exist to port, there is nothing to migrate and the registrant's GST status begins on the implementation date.
