From July 1, 2017, any seller who wants to sell across India needs to enroll for GST (Goods and Services Tax), except if the seller sells goods or services under exempt categories. The GST registration process is entirely paperless which means that it will take place online or digitally. There will not be any hard copies or physical print outs required for the enrollment.
We have broken down the registration process for GST into smaller parts for your convenience.

Steps:
The first step is to obtain the Temporary Registration Number (TRN). To obtain this, you need a valid mobile number (an India number), email address and PAN (Permanent Account Number) for the business.

1. Go to official GST portal - https://www.gst.gov.in/ and under the services tab, choose Services > Registration > New Registration.
2. On the Registration page, enter all the requested details (including your PAN number), email address and mobile number.
3. After entering the details, click proceed. You will receive two different OTPs on your mobile and on your email for verifying the mobile number and the email id. OTP is valid only for 10 minutes. If required, you can regenerate the OTP
3. Follow the process as defined further
