In accordance with the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, every taxable person engaged in the supply of goods or services is required to obtain registration in the State from where such taxable supply is made. In the present case, though the applicant partnership firm is registered in the State of Telangana, it has been allotted land for quarrying and mining operations in the State of Andhra Pradesh. Accordingly, the firm is required to obtain separate GST registration in Andhra Pradesh as per Section 22(1) of the CGST Act read with Rule 8 of the CGST Rules, 2017.
For the purpose of obtaining registration in Andhra Pradesh, the applicant shall submit the prescribed application in Form GST REG-01 on the common portal, selecting Andhra Pradesh as the State of registration. The firm shall furnish its PAN, proof of constitution (Partnership Deed), identity and address proof of partners, photograph of the authorised signatory, and proof of principal place of business in Andhra Pradesh. In absence of a lease or rental agreement, the government-issued mining allotment letter or consent proceedings may be submitted, supplemented with a declaration regarding the operational nature of the allotted site.
Additionally, the firm shall provide proof of bank account in the name of the partnership (cancelled cheque, passbook, or bank statement) and an authorisation letter in favour of the person authorised to act on behalf of the firm. The place of business, being on government-allotted land, may be supported by a consent letter from the concerned department, if applicable, and any utility bill if available.
Upon due verification of the application and documents, the proper officer shall grant registration and issue a GSTIN specific to the Andhra Pradesh location, enabling the firm to lawfully undertake taxable transactions pertaining to the mining activity in that State.
