A practical guide to GST registration for Delhi, Gurgaon, and Noida businesses — who must register, threshold limits, documents by entity type, step-by-step process, timeline, and common mistakes to avoid.
Who Needs GST Registration in India?
GST registration is mandatory when your aggregate turnover crosses the prescribed threshold, when you make inter-state taxable supplies, or when you fall under specific mandatory categories — regardless of turnover.
For most goods suppliers in normal category states, registration is required once turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh in a financial year. For service providers, the threshold is generally ₹20 lakh. Special category states and certain businesses may have different limits — confirm applicability for your state and sector.
- 1Businesses crossing the turnover threshold in goods or services.
- 2Inter-state suppliers (even below threshold, in most cases).
- 3E-commerce operators and sellers on marketplaces (subject to notified rules).
- 4Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons.
- 5Businesses liable to pay tax under reverse charge mechanism on notified supplies.
- 6Input Service Distributors, TDS/TCS deductors, and persons supplying through e-commerce operators where registration is mandated.
GST Registration Documents by Entity Type
Document requirements differ for proprietorships, partnership firms, LLPs, and companies. All applicants typically need PAN, principal place of business address proof, bank account proof, and photographs of authorised signatories.
PJRJ maintains an entity-wise checklist on our website covering proprietorship, partnership, LLP, private limited, public limited, and OPC registrations. Gather documents before starting the application to avoid officer queries and delays.

Common GST Registration Mistakes
- 1Mismatch between PAN name and trade name on the application.
- 2Incorrect HSN/SAC selection or vague business description.
- 3Address proof not in the entity name or older than permitted.
- 4Missing board resolution or authorisation for company signatories.
- 5Selecting wrong constitution type or principal place of business.
- 6Not responding to officer queries within the 7-day window — leading to rejection.
After Registration: First Compliance Steps
Once GSTIN is allotted, display it on invoices and signboards as required. File applicable returns from the registration period — GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for regular taxpayers, or composition returns if opted. Maintain purchase and sales registers from day one; GSTR-2B reconciliation before each GSTR-3B protects your input tax credit.
