GST Registration for Recruitment Firms: How Long Does It Really Take?

Dear All,

Can anyone suggest the GST registration process for a recruitment firm and how much time this process takes? Please advise.

The process differs depending on whether you had existing registration under the Service Tax Act. You need to migrate your existing service tax registration immediately and continue to pay GST.

If you did not have any such registration, then you need to apply within 30 days of crossing a turnover of ₹18 lakhs in any single financial year. The process of the registration is online, and approval happens pretty quickly. The provisional registration is instantaneous, provided the servers work.

Yes, we do have service tax registration. Can we do the migration process online and how long does this take? We have a few invoices to be raised next week.
