GSTN launches Multistate Registration facility to apply for GST registration in several States/UTs under one PAN

A new GST portal facility lets Normal Taxpayers apply for registration in multiple States/UTs at once, using one Master TRN and common registration information.

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) issued an advisory dated 1 October 2026 titled "Advisory on 'Multistate Registration' Facility for GST Registration". It introduces a new option on the GST Common Portal.

What changed

A "Multistate Registration" tab has been added to the Common Portal homepage. Applicants select the required States/UTs and a Master TRN is generated.
Using the Master TRN, the applicant gives the Common Registration Information (CRI) once. This covers business details, promoter/partner details, authorised signatory, authorised representative, and goods and services.
The Master TRN must be submitted within 15 days.
After the CRI is submitted, an individual TRN is generated for each selected State/UT. The common information is auto-populated and remains editable.

Who it affects

Taxpayers seeking GST registration in more than one State/UT under the same PAN. For now, the facility is available only for Normal Taxpayers.

What businesses should do now

Businesses registering in several States/UTs can use the Multistate Registration tab instead of filing separate applications.
Keep the common details ready so that the Master TRN is submitted within 15 days.
In each individual TRN, complete the Principal Place of Business, Additional Place of Business, State-specific information and Aadhaar authentication.
