GST Registration for Sole Proprietorship

Sole proprietorship is the simplest business structure to register for GST — there's no DSC requirement, and Aadhaar-based e-signature makes the entire process fully digital. Most proprietorship applications we file are approved within a week when documents are in order.

No DSC needed
Aadhaar OTP e-signature is sufficient — no need to purchase or maintain a digital signature certificate.
Minimal documents
Just PAN, Aadhaar, a photograph, address proof, and bank details — the fastest entity type to register.
Trade name flexibility
You can register under a trade name different from your personal name, useful for branding your business separately.
