Check-list of Documents Required For GST Registration

Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) · GST Tutorial Portal (GSTN) Free Beginner India

This is the actual GSTN checklist, a one-page table listing every document category, the exact file type and size limit (JPG or PDF, 100 KB to 1 MB) and whether multiple files can be uploaded. It removes the guesswork on formatting before you open the portal.

  • Proof of constitution (partnership deed, trust deed, incorporation certificate) must be JPG or PDF under 1 MB
  • Photos of stakeholders and the authorised signatory must be JPG under 100 KB, only one file allowed
  • Address proof (property tax receipt, khata copy, electricity bill, rent agreement, consent letter) can be multiple files, mostly capped at 100 KB except the rent/lease agreement at 1 MB
  • The same address-proof list applies separately for principal and additional places of business
