1. It is informed that an option for “Multistate Registration” has been introduced. The functionality enables taxpayers to apply for registration in multiple States/UTs simultaneously. Taxpayers seeking GST registration in more than one State/UT under the same PAN can use this functionality. Currently, the functionality is available only for Normal Taxpayers.

2. A “Multistate Registration” tab has been introduced in the homepage of the Common Portal, where Taxpayers can select multiple States/UTs for registration. Upon selection of the required States/UTs, a Master TRN is generated.

3. Using the Master TRN, the applicant can provide the Common Registration Information (CRI), comprising details such as Business Details, Promoter/Partner details, Authorised signatory, Authorised representative, and Goods and Services. The Master TRN is required to be submitted within 15 days.

4. Once the CRI is submitted, individual TRNs are generated for each selected State/UT. In the respective individual TRN, the common information already provided through the CRI is auto populated and remains editable. Further, the applicant is required to provide the remaining information such as Principal Place of Business (PPoB), Additional Place of Business (APoB), State-specific Information, and Aadhaar authentication.

5. Thus, the applicant is not required to enter the common information separately for each State/UT Registration application. The functionality reduces repetitive data entry and facilitates ease of doing business.

Thanks,
