Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on registration, login errors, filing and notices. Can't find yours? Ask us directly.

Who needs to register for GST?

Any business whose turnover crosses the applicable threshold, or that deals in interstate supply, e-commerce, or specific notified categories, must register for GST. We assess your specific situation before you apply.

How long does GST registration take?

Once documents are submitted correctly, registration is typically granted within 5–7 working days. Delays usually happen when the application is sent back for clarification — we draft it to avoid that the first time.

Can I amend my GST registration details later?

Yes. Non-core fields like email or mobile update instantly; core fields like address or authorised signatory need an amendment application with supporting proof, which we can file for you.

I'm not receiving the OTP on the GST portal — what now?

This is usually a registered-mobile or email mismatch, or a portal-side delay. We check which one applies and either guide you through a fix or raise a grievance ticket with the department on your behalf.

My Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) isn't registering. Can you help?

Yes — this is one of our most common requests. It's usually a browser, emSigner, or certificate-validity issue, and we can walk you through it or complete the re-registration for you.

What happens if I miss a GST return due date?

Late fees and interest start accruing immediately, and repeated misses can trigger a notice or affect your ability to file future returns. We recommend filing pending returns as soon as possible — we can take over from here.

What's the difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?

GSTR-1 reports your outward supplies (sales) in detail, while GSTR-3B is a summary return used to pay your net tax liability. Both need to be filed monthly or quarterly depending on your scheme, and should reconcile with each other.

I received an ASMT-10 notice. Is this serious?

An ASMT-10 flags a discrepancy the department has found in your returns — it needs a documented reply within the given deadline, but it isn't a final demand. Responding accurately and on time usually resolves it without further escalation.

What is the deadline to reply to a Show Cause Notice?

The deadline is stated on the notice itself and is usually 15–30 days depending on the section it's issued under. Missing it can lead to an ex-parte order, so we treat every notice reply as time-critical.

My GSTIN was suspended after a notice — can it be restored?

In most cases, yes — by filing the pending returns and/or a proper reply to the notice that triggered the suspension. We review your specific order first to confirm the exact path to revocation.

Do I need a physical office to register for GST?

No — a registered address with valid proof (rent agreement, NOC, or ownership document) is sufficient; it doesn't need to be a commercial office. We'll tell you exactly which documents your case needs.
