What is GST registration?
GST registration gives your business a 15-digit Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN). It lets you collect GST, claim input tax credit and sell across states. Every GSTIN issued in Maharashtra begins with the state code 27, followed by your PAN.
The application is filed on the GST portal in Form GST REG-01 and is processed by the jurisdictional officer of either the Maharashtra State Tax department or the Central GST.
