- Land papersKhatian in someone else's nameIf the land is still recorded in a parent's or grandparent's name, add the owner's consent letter and ID. We check the khatian before uploading.
- AadhaarAadhaar authentication skippedWithout it, the officer can order a site visit and approval can take up to 30 days. We complete it on day one.

- LimitWaiting for ₹40 lakhMany businesses in Tripura wait for the ₹40 lakh limit they read about online. Here the limit is ₹20 lakh for goods and ₹10 lakh for services, and late registration means tax, interest and penalty on past sales.
- CodesWrong HSN/SAC or business typeChoosing the wrong codes or constitution leads to queries later. We select them based on what you actually sell.
- QueriesMissing the 7-day reply windowAn unanswered query (REG-03) leads to rejection. We reply within the deadline, with no extra fee.

Tripura is one of the four special category States (with Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland) where the limit for service providers is ₹10 lakh instead of ₹20 lakh. For goods, Tripura uses ₹20 lakh; the ₹40 lakh limit that applies in most States does not apply here.

Yes. In Tripura, traders and manufacturers with turnover up to ₹75 lakh can opt for composition and pay 1% of turnover (5% for restaurants), and service providers up to ₹50 lakh pay 6%. You can't collect GST from customers or claim input tax credit, and goods can't be sold to other States.

No. One GST registration covers the whole State. A shop, godown or office in another district of Tripura is added as an additional place of business. You need a separate registration only for another State.
Do contractors working for government departments in West Tripura need GST?+
