Hello members,

Please guide, Can I use my existing firm's GST number to purchase trial goods for my new startup venture? Please note, My new startup has no similarity with my existing business.

In my view you can use the existing GST number for your new venture.

If your PAN (Permanent Account Number) is going to remain same, then your GSTIN will also be same.
