GSTN advisory on Registration of "One Person Company" in GST

GSTN UPDATE, DATED 21-3-2023 
 

As per provision of section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 "One Person Company" is defined as a company which has only one person as member.

Some issues have been raised by the persons registering as 'One Person Company' while they take GST registration. Upon analysis,

GSTN has noticed that the option of choosing One Person Company is not there in form notified by CGST/ SGST Acts and hence not available on the GSTN portal also.

Therefore. The GSTN has issued advisory that in the 'Part B' of GST Registration Form 'REG-01', applicant may select Constitution of Business under 'Business Details' tab using dropdown list option "Others", if the taxpayer wants to register for GST as "One Person Company".

After selecting option as "Others",

the applicant shall also mention "One Person Company"

in the text field and follow the steps for a normal registration application to completes
