The short version
- Apply for GST in several states at once using one PAN.
- A Master TRN auto-fills common business details for all selected states.
- Submit your Master TRN within 15 days to start the process.
- Individual state applications will auto-populate with your shared business information.
In short
The GST Network has launched a Multistate Registration facility to help businesses register in multiple states without re-entering the same information repeatedly.
What has changed
How it worked before
Previously, you had to file separate, complete registration applications for every state, requiring you to manually type the same business details for each one.
What has changed
A new 'Multistate Registration' tab on the GST portal now allows you to group multiple state applications under one Master Temporary Reference Number (TRN).
Who this affects
Normal taxpayers who need to register their business for GST in more than one state or union territory.
An example
If you run a retail chain and need GST registration in both Maharashtra and Karnataka, you now use the Multistate Registration tab. You enter your business and promoter details once under a Master TRN. The system then creates two separate applications for you, pre-filled with that information, so you only need to add state-specific details like your local office addresses.
What you should do
Log in to the GST portal, select the new 'Multistate Registration' tab, choose your states, and submit your common business details using the generated Master TRN within 15 days.
Deadline · 15 days from Master TRN generationIf you do nothing
If you do not submit your Master TRN within 15 days, the system will not process your request. You will then have to start the registration process over from the beginning.
The terms explained
- Master TRN
- A temporary reference number that links your common business details across multiple state registration applications.
- Normal Taxpayer
- A standard business entity registered under GST that is not a casual or non-resident taxpayer.
- CRI
- Common Registration Information, which includes shared details like business name, promoter info, and authorized signatories.
