The GST registration certificate is a legal document that serves as proof of GST registration in India. Any firm in India that has revenue that exceeds the GST registration criteria is required to register. Certain firms, such as casual taxable people, non-resident taxable people, and others, are required to register under GST.
What are GST Registration certificates and their uses?
A GST registration certificate in the form GST REG-06 is delivered to every taxpayer who has successfully registered under GST. The registration certificate is only accessible for download on the GST Portal, and no physical certificates are issued by the government. Regular taxpayers, TDS and TCS applicants under GST, those who are required to receive a unique identification number under Section 25(9) of the CGST Act, non-residents, including those who provide OIDAR services, and taxpayers who moved from pre-GST legislation are among the types of taxpayers.
If issued to all normal taxpayers, the certificate does not have an expiration date. The GST registration stays valid as long as it is not relinquished or revoked. The registration certificate of a casual taxable person becomes invalid after ninety days because the GST registration is only valid for ninety days. However, after the validity term, the taxpayer might extend or renew it.
The GST portal allows the taxpayer or user to get a new GST registration certificate with the revised details whenever the GST registration particulars are changed.
