Incorporation on Communication Address:
In India, entrepreneurs starting a new business can begin their company registration process with a “communication address” even before securing a permanent office. This temporary address helps you start the formalities while searching for the ideal premises. It’s essential to remember that within 30 days of incorporation, you need to establish a physical “registered office” in the same state and file Form INC-22 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) to report the official address change.
Step-Wise Process of LLP Annual Return Filing
The annual return filing for the LLP is mandatory for every LLP incorporated during the previous financial year. For instance, the LLP incorporated on or before 31 March 2024 is required to file its annual returns during FY 2024-25 within the prescribed due dates. Team zeroBrokagetax is here to assist. The following are the steps required to file the annual return for the LLP.
Step-1: Documentation
The documents required for GST Registration are based on the type of entity and the nature of its business activity. It is extremely important that all the documents required for online GST registration are prepared beforehand. This helps avoid any hindrance in the application process later. A complete list of such documents is mentioned in the section above.
Step-2: Register on the GST Portal
GST registration for new business is an application-based process. The first part of the application seeks basic registration details. This includes type of entity, name of entity, PAN number, and the state / UT where the business operates. Providing these details enables successful registration on the GST Portal.
Step-3: OTP-based Verification
GST Registration in India is a PAN-based process. The applicant must provide his PAN details in the first part of the application. As mentioned earlier, the PAN must be linked to the applicant’s Aadhar, mobile number and email address for OTP verification.
Step-4: TRN Generation
As soon as the PAN is entered, an OTP is sent to the linked mobile number and email address. After furnishing the two OTPs successfully, a Temporary Reference Number or TRN is generated. You can use the TRN for completing the application form further. Note that the TRN will be valid for 15 days only, so the process must be completed within this time period.
Step-5: Complete the GST Application Form
Sign in to the GST portal using the TRN and access the GST REG-01 application form. Complete the form by filling in the requisite details and uploading the requisite documents. This includes information about the business, promoters/partners, location of the business, products/services, and authorised individuals. Upon completing the form, verify it using the authorised signatory’s DSC or EVC.
Step-6: Issuance of GSTIN
