Only eligible persons defined under the GST Act can apply for GST registration. After the application is submitted and verified by the designated officer, registration will be approved. For applications submitted within thirty days, the registration will be effective from the date when liability for registration arises. In cases of delays, the GST registration will be valid from the date of grant of registration. Bank account details may be required and can be submitted later, but not before forty-five days from the date of grant of registration or the due date of return filing in form GSTR-3B.
