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.

AI Summary

GST registration: existing GST number may be used for a new venture if PAN remains unchanged.
Using an existing GST registration to purchase trial goods for a separate new venture is permitted in practice where the registered person remains the same; if the PAN is unchanged, the GSTIN also remains the same and the existing registration will continue to apply.
