GST Registration Status Active Pending Verification & GSTIN ID
Most of existing service tax and vat registered businesses have applied for GST registration through provisional id and password. But their current GST application status remains 'active pending verification'. What's the meaning of this status, how to get GSTIN ID and provisional GST registration certificate.
GST Registration - Active Pending Verification
One can verify the status of their GST application by login on the GST portal. Here is the standard status of the application as of June 30th 2017.
| title | value |
|---|---|
| ARN | Your ARN No |
| Form No. | GST REG-01 |
| Form Description | Application for Registration of Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 |
| Submission Date | |
| Status | Active Pending Verfication |
'Active Pending Verfication' status is the standard status at time being and there is no action item for the business at this moment. Once we hear more from GSTN about the verification process, we will update this page. We are hoping that existing service tax and vat registered companies don't need to go through any process as part of this verification.
You can go ahead and upload invoice and file return with this status as your GST account is 'active'
GST Registration - GST REG-26
