What is GST Registration?
Sole proprietorship is the default business structure in India when you operate under your own name or a trade name without incorporating. For GST, a proprietorship registers using the proprietor's personal PAN — there's no separate company PAN or MCA filing involved.
The proprietor's GSTIN is linked to their PAN, which means the business's GST compliance and the proprietor's personal tax records share an identity. This makes proprietorship the fastest and cheapest entity type to get GST-registered and onto the compliance grid.
Who Needs GST Registration?
How GST registration works
A visible process from document collection to GSTIN delivery, with status updates along the way.
Your PAN and Aadhaar
A proprietorship registers on the proprietor’s own PAN. We check that the name on PAN, Aadhaar and the bank account match before anything is filed.
Trade name and activity
We record your trade name if you use one, your principal place of business, and the HSN or SAC codes for what you sell.
Aadhaar e-sign, no DSC
You approve the application with an Aadhaar OTP. A proprietorship does not need a Digital Signature Certificate.
GSTIN linked to your PAN
The GSTIN is issued against your PAN with the REG-06 certificate, and first-month filing guidance follows straight after.
Documents needed for GST registration
We confirm which documents apply to your entity type before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a DSC for proprietorship GST registration?
No. Aadhaar-based OTP e-verification works for proprietorships. This saves you ₹800-1,200 on a DSC vs. companies/LLPs.
Whose PAN is used for proprietorship GST?
Your personal PAN. Proprietorships have no separate legal PAN — the proprietor IS the business.
Can I register a proprietorship with just a trade name?
Yes. You register in your personal PAN but can mention the trade name as the business name on the GST certificate and invoices.
What's the GST threshold for proprietors?
₹20 lakh annual receipts for services, ₹40 lakh for goods (₹10L / ₹20L in NE states). Interstate or e-commerce selling triggers registration regardless of turnover.
Do I need a shop licence or Udyam before GST?
Not mandatory but useful. Udyam registration is free and gives MSME benefits. We help with both as add-ons.
Can I convert my proprietorship GSTIN to a Pvt Ltd later?
Yes. When you incorporate, the company gets a fresh GSTIN and you surrender the proprietorship one. We handle that transition when you're ready.
