Question 1

What documents are required for new GST registration in Mudichur?

Accepted Answer

For new GST registration you will generally need: PAN card of the proprietor, firm or company, Aadhaar card of proprietor, partners or directors, Passport-size photograph of proprietor, partners or directors, Business address proof such as electricity bill or property tax receipt, Rent agreement and owner NOC if premises are rented. The exact list depends on your constitution — proprietorship, partnership, LLP or company — and on the specifics of your case. Send what you have on WhatsApp to +91 - 9600 606 444 and we will confirm within the same working day exactly what else is needed, so nothing is rejected later for a missing paper.

Question 2

Are there any hidden charges for new GST registration?

Accepted Answer

No. The fee quoted before we start is the fee you pay. Government fees, portal charges or statutory late fees, where they apply, are separate and disclosed to you in advance with the exact amount. We issue a proper GST invoice for our professional fee. If the scope of work changes — for example, an unexpected notice or additional periods — we tell you the revised fee before doing anything further.

Question 3

I just received my GSTIN. What returns do I need to start filing?

Accepted Answer

From your first tax period, a regular taxpayer files GSTR-1, the outward supplies statement, by the 11th of the following month, and GSTR-3B, the summary return with tax payment, by the 20th. If your expected turnover is up to Rs.5 crore, you can opt for the QRMP scheme: returns become quarterly, GSTR-3B is due by the 22nd of the month after the quarter for Tamil Nadu, monthly tax is paid by challan, and the optional IFF by the 13th lets you pass credit to buyers monthly. Returns are mandatory even for nil turnover; the nil late fee is Rs.20 per day. Call +91 - 9600 606 444 and we will set up your filing calendar.

Question 4

I run a boutique in Mudichur doing tailoring and also selling dress materials. How is GST charged?

Accepted Answer

Tailoring service attracts a concessional GST rate of 5%. The dress materials and fabrics you sell are goods at 5%, and readymade pieces follow the Rs.2,500 threshold, with 5% up to that value and 18% above it. Because your boutique supplies both goods and services, the Rs.20 lakh service-supplier threshold governs when registration becomes mandatory, not the Rs.40 lakh goods limit. Bill stitching charges and material separately so each takes its correct rate and your turnover streams stay clean. Many boutiques in Mudichur register voluntarily to serve corporate and export orders; call +91 - 9600 606 444 to decide.

Question 5

Is Aadhaar authentication compulsory for GST registration?

Accepted Answer

Aadhaar authentication is not compulsory, but it is strongly recommended. When the promoter and authorised signatory complete Aadhaar OTP authentication, the application is processed on the fast track and deemed approval applies if the officer does not act within seven working days. Without Aadhaar authentication, the department treats the application as higher risk, physical verification of the business premises is usually ordered, and approval can take up to thirty days. Most applicants in Mudichur finish the OTP step in minutes, so there is rarely a reason to skip it unless the Aadhaar-linked mobile number is inactive.

Question 6

I am below the GST threshold, but I pay freight under RCM heads. Must I register?

Accepted Answer

Section 24(iii) makes registration compulsory for persons required to pay tax under reverse charge, without any threshold benefit. So if you receive notified supplies such as GTA freight, advocate services or sponsorship, liability to register can arise even with modest turnover. Note, though, that where the relevant RCM entry itself exempts supplies made to unregistered recipients, no liability arises until you are otherwise registered. Composition dealers get no relief once registered: they must pay RCM at the full normal rates in cash and cannot claim any credit, making RCM a pure cost for them. Have your expense heads reviewed before assuming you are safe; call +91 - 9600 606 444.

Question 7

I sell only loose, unbranded grains and fresh vegetables. Do I need GST registration at all?

Accepted Answer

No. Under Section 23 of the CGST Act, a person engaged exclusively in supplying goods that are wholly exempt from tax is not liable to register, regardless of turnover. A trader in Mudichur dealing only in loose cereals, pulses sold unpackaged, fresh fruits and vegetables therefore stays outside GST entirely. The position changes the day you add even one taxable line, such as pre-packaged branded packs, edible oil or packaged snacks; from then on the normal threshold rules apply to your aggregate turnover, which counts the exempt sales too. Review your product mix once a year, or call +91 - 9600 606 444 for a quick applicability check.

Question 8

Will a GST officer visit my shop in Mudichur before approving registration?

Accepted Answer

Not in every case. Physical verification of premises is typically ordered when Aadhaar authentication has not been completed, when authentication fails, or when the application is flagged as risky by the department's analytics. The officer visits the declared address, photographs the premises, and uploads a verification report on the portal. To pass smoothly, display your name board with GSTIN space, keep the rent agreement or ownership papers at hand, and ensure someone responsible is present. Verification can also happen after registration is granted. Genuine premises with matching documents have nothing to worry about during such visits.

Question 9

What is the GST rate on mobile phones and accessories at my shop?

Accepted Answer

Mobile phones attract 18% GST, a rate unchanged by the September 2025 rationalisation. Common accessories, including chargers, power banks, earphones, cases and tempered glass, also generally attract 18% under their respective headings, so a typical mobile retail counter in Mudichur operates almost entirely at one rate. Note that phones bought from out-of-state distributors carry IGST, which is fully creditable against your local sales. Where you also take old phones in exchange, remember GST applies on the full sale price of the new phone, not the net amount collected after exchange. Call +91 - 9600 606 444 if your billing needs a once-over.

Question 10

I made a mistake in GSTR-3B. Can I revise it?

Accepted Answer

No, GSTR-3B cannot be revised once filed. The GST law allows corrections only through adjustments in the returns of subsequent tax periods. If you under-reported tax, pay the difference with 18 percent interest in the next GSTR-3B or through Form DRC-03. If you over-reported, adjust it in a later month within the time limits allowed. Errors in GSTR-1 can be amended in the following period's return. Because corrections have deadlines, it is best to have the error reviewed quickly; our team in Mudichur can assess it the same day.

Question 11

How is GST charged on manpower supply, and is the old partial reverse charge still in force?

Accepted Answer

No. The partial reverse charge that applied to manpower supply in the service tax era was not carried into GST; manpower supply is now taxable at 18 percent under forward charge by the supplier, with security personnel supply being the only related category under reverse charge in specified cases. Valuation is the recurring dispute: GST applies on the entire consideration, including wages, EPF, ESI and other reimbursements recovered from the client, unless the strict pure agent conditions are genuinely satisfied. Agencies billing Mudichur factories should structure invoices carefully, because taxing only the service margin is a frequent and costly error. Call +91 - 9600 606 444 before adopting that model.

Question 12

How do I register my DSC on the GST portal, and why does the emSigner error keep appearing?

Accepted Answer

After logging in, open My Profile and select Register or Update DSC, choose the authorised signatory's PAN, and sign with the USB token; the certificate must be Class 3 and the PAN on it must match the signatory's PAN on the portal. Signing requires the emSigner utility running in the background, and the common failure to establish connection error means emSigner is not started, is blocked by the browser, or another application occupies its port. Run emSigner as administrator, keep the token connected, and use the trusted-site settings the portal recommends. We troubleshoot DSC issues for Mudichur companies routinely; call +91 - 9600 606 444.

Question 13

My shop's landlord in Mudichur is not GST registered. Do I pay GST on the rent myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are registered. With effect from 10 October 2024, renting of any immovable property other than a residential dwelling by an unregistered person to a registered person was notified under reverse charge, so a registered tenant must pay 18 percent on the rent in cash through GSTR-3B and can claim ITC subject to the usual conditions. Composition taxpayers were subsequently excluded from this entry with effect from 16 January 2025. You must also raise a monthly self-invoice since the landlord is unregistered. Many shop and godown tenants in Mudichur remain unaware of this recent entry; call +91 - 9600 606 444 to regularise past months.

Question 14

What GST rate applies to a goods transport agency: 5 percent or 18 percent?

Accepted Answer

Both exist, depending on the option exercised. The default position is 5 percent payable by the specified recipient under reverse charge, with no input tax credit to the GTA. Alternatively, a GTA may opt to pay tax itself under forward charge, either at 5 percent without input tax credit or at the higher rate with full credit, which was revised from 12 percent to 18 percent with effect from 22 September 2025. The with-credit option suits transporters with large spends on vehicles and tyres. Once the forward charge option is exercised for a year, it applies to all consignments of that year.

Question 15

How is GST charged on hotel room tariffs after the rate changes?

Accepted Answer

Hotel accommodation with a value of supply up to Rs.7,500 per unit per day attracts 5 percent GST without input tax credit, a reduction from the earlier 12 percent. Rooms priced above Rs.7,500 per day attract 18 percent with full input tax credit. The rate is determined by the actual transaction value charged for the room, so seasonal discounts can change the applicable rate on the same room across bookings. Lodges and hotels around Mudichur should configure billing software to test the per-day value on each invoice rather than fixing one rate for the property.

Question 16

Should I claim a refund of my accumulated ITC or just carry it forward?

Accepted Answer

Carry-forward suits businesses whose future output tax will absorb the credit within a few months, since it avoids refund paperwork. A refund makes sense when the credit keeps growing and will never be absorbed, which is typical for exporters under LUT and businesses with inverted duty structure, because idle credit is interest-free money locked with the government. Remember that refunds are only available in categories permitted by Section 54; ordinary accumulated credit from slow sales cannot be refunded. A quick review of your credit ledger trend over six months usually makes the right answer obvious.

Question 17

My footwear shop sells chappals at Rs.300 and shoes at Rs.4,000 on the same bill. How do I invoice this?

Accepted Answer

One invoice can comfortably carry both rates. Each pair is tested against the Rs.2,500 sale-value threshold independently, so the chappals are billed at 5% and the Rs.4,000 shoes at 18%, as separate line items under their footwear HSN codes in Chapter 64. Your GSTR-1 HSN summary will then show turnover split across the two rates. Ensure the billing software picks the rate from the item price automatically rather than from a fixed product master, because the same article sold at different price points can legitimately fall in different slabs. A quick POS configuration check prevents months of wrong-rate billing; call +91 - 9600 606 444 to arrange one.

Question 18

What details must a GST tax invoice compulsorily contain?

Accepted Answer

Rule 46 of the CGST Rules prescribes the mandatory contents: your name, address and GSTIN; a consecutive serial number not exceeding sixteen characters, unique for the financial year; the date of issue; the recipient's name, address and GSTIN if registered; the HSN or SAC code; description, quantity and unit; total and taxable value; any discount; the rate and amount of CGST, SGST or IGST shown separately; place of supply with the state name for inter-state supplies; a declaration where tax is payable on reverse charge; and signature or digital signature of the supplier. Missing fields make the invoice defective and can jeopardise your buyer's credit.

Question 19

Can I get new GST registration done online without visiting the office?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the entire process can be handled online. You share scanned documents on WhatsApp or email, we prepare and file everything on the GST portal, and you receive the acknowledgement and filed copies digitally. Businesses in Mudichur regularly complete GST registration with us without a single office visit. If a physical verification or personal hearing is required by the department, we guide you through it.

Question 20

How long does new GST registration take in Mudichur?

Accepted Answer

3-7 working days. That assumes your documents are complete and there is no departmental query. We start the same day we receive your papers and tell you the realistic completion date upfront rather than an optimistic one. Where the GST portal or the officer causes delay — clarifications, physical verification or system issues — we track it daily and keep you informed on WhatsApp.

Question 21

Which GST office handles Mudichur businesses?

Accepted Answer

Businesses in Mudichur (PIN 600048) generally fall under the CGST Chennai Outer Commissionerate, with state-jurisdiction cases handled by the Tamil Nadu Commercial Taxes Department. Your exact division and range can be confirmed from your GSTIN on the GST portal. We regularly appear before this jurisdiction for registrations, clarifications and hearings, so we know the local practice and documentation preferences.

Aspect	With ChennaiGST	DIY / Unattended
Time cost	Roughly an hour a month to send data and approve drafts; the portal work, reconciliation and follow-up are ours.	Hours every month lost to portal errors, JSON files, OTP failures and reworking figures — usually on the due date itself.
Record keeping	Every return, challan, acknowledgement and working paper archived in an organised folder, retrievable in minutes years later.	Documents scattered across email, downloads and old phones; assembling records for a bank or an audit takes days.
Refund claims	RFD-01 filed with complete statements and annexures, tracked from ARN to bank credit, with any deficiency memo answered promptly.	Incomplete claims bounce back as deficiency memos while the refund sits unclaimed for months and working capital stays blocked.
Late fees and interest	Filings go in ahead of statutory dates, so the Rs.50-per-day late fee and 18 percent interest never arise.	Late fees accumulate silently every delayed day, and interest on unpaid tax runs at 18 percent per annum.
Due-date tracking	A maintained compliance calendar with internal cut-offs days before the 11th and the 20th; we chase you for data, not the other way around.	Deadlines remembered from memory or phone alarms; one busy week and the return slips past the due date.
Goods in transit	E-way bills generated correctly and matched to invoices, so consignments pass roadside inspections without detention or penalty.	A defective or missing e-way bill can mean detention at a checkpoint, with penalties that dwarf the tax on the consignment.
