ABOUT

The Government of India has implemented an indirect tax, namely GST from 1st July 2017 on most domestic goods and services. GST registration is one time registration and no need to renew. GST registration also works as a fresh company start-up registration company and as an open new bank current account to handle sales, purchases and consultancy. After getting all the required documents, it will take 1 to 2 days to apply for GST Application, then GST Department will take 7 working days to issue GST Registration Certificate and GST Registration Number.
