GST Registration - Bank Account Requirment

[Asked by Guest]

Dears,

Is possible do the GST Registration if I do not have a bank account?

Or use the bank account of third party as my bank account for GST Purposes.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Registration under GST is not mandatory to open bank account. You cannot use third party registration for this purpose. Otherwise also it is not required .

I need obtain GST registration, but I do not have local bank account because, my company is on foreign.

[GST CMS]

Requirement of bank account details at the time of GST Registration has been done away with since last 15-20 days. This is becase normally a bank account cannot be opened before commencement of business. The same can be added via amendment of non-core field later on.
