GST Registration & Return Filing in Ahmedabad
GST registration is mandatory once your annual turnover crosses the threshold for your state and supply type, and immediately — at any turnover — if you supply goods inter-state, sell through an e-commerce platform, or fall into certain notified categories. Makhija & Company handles the registration, the monthly or quarterly returns that follow it, and any notices the department raises.
GST Registration & Returns — the short version
| Who must register | Businesses over the turnover threshold, all inter-state suppliers, e-commerce sellers, casual taxable persons, and anyone liable under reverse charge |
|---|---|
| Main returns | GSTR-1 (outward supplies), GSTR-3B (summary and payment), GSTR-9 (annual) |
| Filing frequency | Monthly, or quarterly under the QRMP scheme if you qualify |
| Core documents | PAN, Aadhaar, photograph, proof of business constitution, address proof, bank details |
| Typical timeline | Days rather than weeks once documents are complete and correct |
| What we charge | Quoted per service before work starts; first consultation free |
Tax & compliance
What it is, in plain terms
Goods and Services Tax is a single indirect tax on the supply of goods and services, collected at each stage of the supply chain with credit for tax already paid on inputs. For a business, GST is less a one-off registration than an ongoing filing rhythm: you charge it, you claim credit on what you buy, and you reconcile the difference every month or quarter.
Most of the cost of getting GST wrong is not the tax — it is lost input credit, late fees that accumulate quietly, and notices that arrive months after the mistake. That is the part we are actually managing for you.
Who this is for
If one of these sounds like you, this is the right page.
- Traders and retailers whose turnover has crossed, or is about to cross, the registration threshold
- Anyone supplying goods or services to customers in another state, regardless of turnover
- Sellers on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and other marketplaces — registration is required from the first sale
- Manufacturers and wholesalers who need input credit to stay price-competitive
- Service providers who want to bill registered clients that insist on a GST invoice
- Businesses that have received a GST notice, or whose registration was cancelled and needs revocation
Documents you will need
This is the general set. After the first call you get one checklist built for your exact case, rather than a generic list you have to interpret.
- 01 PAN card of the business and of the proprietor, partners or directors
- 02 Aadhaar card of the authorised signatory
- 03 Passport-size photographs
- 04 Proof of business constitution — partnership deed, certificate of incorporation, or LLP agreement
- 05 Proof of principal place of business — electricity bill, rent agreement with NOC, or property tax receipt
- 06 Bank account proof — cancelled cheque, bank statement or passbook first page
- 07 Digital signature (for companies and LLPs) or Aadhaar-based EVC
Not sure this is what you need?

Filing GST from the Sarangpur trading belt
Our office is on the second floor of Ghantakarna Mall, a few minutes from Ghantakarna Market. Most of the GST files we handle belong to businesses working within a few kilometres of it — retailers and traders around Sarangpur, Kalupur, Relief Road and Bapunagar. That matters more than it sounds: when a return is due and one purchase invoice is missing, walking it over is faster than three phone calls, and we can look at the actual bill rather than a photograph of it.

Questions
GST Registration & Returns — frequently asked
-
QDo I need GST registration for my business?
Registration becomes compulsory once your annual turnover crosses the threshold set for your state and supply type. It is also mandatory regardless of turnover if you supply goods inter-state, sell through an e-commerce operator, act as a casual taxable person, or are liable to pay tax under reverse charge. Many businesses below the threshold also register voluntarily so they can claim input credit and bill registered clients.
-
QHow long does GST registration take?
GST registration usually takes days rather than weeks once the documents are complete and correct. Delays almost always come from mismatched address proof, an unclear rent agreement, or an incomplete application that triggers a clarification notice.
-
QWhat is the difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?
GSTR-1 reports your outward supplies — the invoices you issued. GSTR-3B is a summary return where you declare your liability, claim input credit and actually pay the tax. Both are required; filing one does not cover the other.
-
QWhat happens if I file GST returns late?
Late fees accrue per day per return and interest applies on unpaid tax. Persistent non-filing can also block your e-way bill generation and eventually lead to cancellation of registration. It is far cheaper to file a nil return on time than to catch up later.
-
QCan you handle a GST notice I have already received?
Yes. Bring the notice and your last filed returns. We will tell you what it actually asks for, what the realistic exposure is, and draft the reply — rather than you finding out at the hearing.
-
QShould I opt for the composition scheme?
The composition scheme lowers your compliance load and tax rate but blocks input credit and restricts inter-state supply. It suits some small traders and not others. We work it out against your actual purchase and customer mix rather than applying a rule of thumb.
