    Provisional registration to existing tax payers:-

    Every person who is registered under existing law will be granted registration on provisional basis. The enrolment has already started for State VAT from different dates all over India. The enrolment is nothing but a process to gather the information of existing tax payers in a one pool. The data collected shall be used to provide provisional certificate.

Every person who has been granted the provisional registration shall submit an application electronically in FORM GST REG–20 duly signed along with documents specified in such form within 6 Months from the date of issue of provisional certificate. On the basis of documents furnished, the proper officer may issue the Final certificate of registration under Form GST REG-06. The same shall be available on the common portal.

    Cancellation of provisional certificate

    The tax payer shall be issued a provisional certificate. If he is not liable to be registered under GST, then he may file an application under Form GST REG 24 at the common portal that he is not liable to be registered under GST and the proper officer may, after conducting such enquiry, cancel the provisional certificate.
