Project Office Registration


A foreign company can establish a project office in India either on a temporary basis or a permanent project office, provided the foreign company has been awarded a project to be executed by them in India from the government or private sector. Registration of Project Office with RBI & ROC must be completed before it starts operating. There are certain conditions which need to be fulfilled before an application is moved for Project Office Registration.


This streamlining has drastically improved the indirect tax regime in India. Moreover, GST has reduced the cascading effect of taxes and allowed taxpayers to claim Input tax credit. The GST regime has resulted in uniform taxation across the country, easing tax compliances, and enhancing transparency in tax collection.

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.

Project Office Registration Process


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

Upon submission of all the details and documents, the application is processed in approximately 10 to 15 days. After successful verification of the form, the department allots a unique GSTIN to the applicant business. This GSTIN can further be used to check GST registration status and fulfil all GST-related compliances.
