The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), on October 1, 2026, introduced a “Multistate Registration” facility enabling taxpayers to apply for GST registration in multiple States/UTs simultaneously under the same PAN. At present, the functionality is available only to Normal Taxpayers.
A new “Multistate Registration” tab has been added to the GST Common Portal, through which taxpayers can select the required States/UTs and generate a Master TRN. Using the Master TRN, applicants can submit common registration information (CRI), including business details, promoter/partner details, authorised signatory, authorised representative and goods and services. The Master TRN must be submitted within 15 days.
After submission of the CRI, separate TRNs are generated for each selected State/UT, with the common information automatically populated and remaining editable. Applicants then need to provide State-specific information, including the Principal Place of Business (PPoB), Additional Place of Business (APoB) and Aadhaar authentication. The facility is intended to reduce repetitive data entry and facilitate ease of doing business.
