GST Registration in Mumbai

Online GSTIN for Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai businesses, set up correctly for imports, warehouses and exports

GST Registration for Mumbai Businesses

Mumbai and its suburbs host every kind of GST registrant: importers and trading houses around Masjid Bunder and Kalbadevi, distributors running warehouses in Bhiwandi, service firms in BKC and Lower Parel billing clients overseas, and online sellers working from home in the suburbs. Getting registration right at the start, with the correct places of business, codes and scheme, avoids rejections and later amendments.

Who Must Register

  • Goods suppliers with turnover above ₹40 lakh, or service providers above ₹20 lakh
  • Anyone selling goods to other states, from the first sale
  • Sellers on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and other marketplaces
  • Importers who want credit for IGST paid at customs
  • Businesses liable to pay tax under reverse charge

Getting the Set-Up Right

  • Principal and additional places of business: your Mumbai office, plus any godown or warehouse in Bhiwandi, Thane or Navi Mumbai, all on one Maharashtra GSTIN.
  • Correct codes: HSN codes for goods and SAC codes for services, which drive your rates and invoices.
  • Scheme: regular or composition, depending on whom you sell to and where.
  • Exporters: an LUT filed straight after registration so you can invoice foreign clients without IGST.

Documents Required

  • PAN of the business or proprietor
  • Aadhaar, PAN and photograph of the proprietor, partners or directors
  • Incorporation certificate, LLP agreement or partnership deed
  • Proof of each place of business: electricity bill or property tax receipt, with rent agreement and owner's consent if rented
  • Bank account proof
  • IEC, if you import or export goods

Registration Process

  1. Eligibility, scheme and code check.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GST registration limit in Mumbai?

Maharashtra follows the normal limits: registration is compulsory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for businesses supplying only goods, or ₹20 lakh for service providers. Inter-state suppliers of goods and sellers on e-commerce platforms must register regardless of turnover.

I have a shop in Mumbai and a warehouse in Bhiwandi. Do I need two GSTINs?

No. Both are in Maharashtra, so you need one GSTIN and add the warehouse as an additional place of business. A separate GSTIN is needed only for premises in another state.

Do I need GST to import goods into Mumbai?

Importers need an Import Export Code (IEC). GST registration lets you claim the IGST paid at customs as input tax credit, so any importer who resells in India should be registered.

How long does GST registration take?

Applicants who do not intend to pass on input tax credit of more than ₹2.5 lakh a month can be registered automatically by the portal under Rule 14A. Other applications are usually approved within about 7 working days with Aadhaar authentication if the officer raises no query.

What is Maharashtra's GST state code?

Maharashtra's state code is 27, so every GSTIN registered in Mumbai begins with 27, followed by the business PAN.
