How to get GST Registration if you are an NRI
Shambhavi Sharma / 2021-05-05 09:47:35Introduction
With the development of technology and the growing demand for new and better goods, many NRIs and foreigners want to sell their wares in India. Because of the easy storage and shipping offered by these e-commerce service providers, various NRI have started selling their international brand goods on portals like Amazon, Flipkart, Paytm, and others.
Any person who occasionally engages in transactions involving the supply of services or products or both, whether by himself, through his agent, or in any other manner, and who does not have a fixed place of business or residence in India, is subject to the Goods and Service Tax Act.
Non-resident taxable persons must also register under Section 24 of the GST Act. It expressly states that non-resident taxable persons must register for GST, regardless of their annual turnover, and that they must do so prior to starting their company. So, even if a non-resident taxable individual wishes to conduct a one-time transaction, he must register for GST.
Process of GST Registration for NRI
Provisional Registration and Final GST Registration are the two aspects of the registration process for non-resident taxable persons. Provisional registration is required in order to pay taxes in advance and receive basic verification. A individual may apply for final registration after the provisional registration has been approved. The procedure for registering for GST is outlined in Rule 13 of the CGST regulations.

Non-resident taxable persons must fill out FORM REG-09 to apply for GST registration.
