GST Registration for Private Limited Companies
A Private Limited company needs a digital signature certificate (DSC) of an authorised director for GST registration, along with incorporation documents and a board resolution. Since company structures are scrutinised more closely, having documents formatted correctly the first time avoids repeated clarification notices.
DSC is mandatory
Unlike proprietorships, companies cannot use Aadhaar e-sign alone — a Class 3 DSC of the authorised signatory is required.
Board resolution
A resolution authorising a specific director or officer to sign and file the GST application is a standard requirement.
Registered office proof
Address proof must match the registered office recorded with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

A DSC is mandatory for companies and LLPs. Proprietorships and partnerships can complete GST registration using Aadhaar-based e-signature (OTP) instead, which is simpler and doesn't require purchasing a DSC.
