- AddressAddress proof doesn't matchThe house number, locality or PIN on the electricity bill or property papers differs from the application. We match them before filing.
- Land papersLSC or patta 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 LSC or patta 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.
- PhotosUnclear photos of the premisesOfficers often ask for a photo showing the name board and the building. We tell you exactly what to click.
- LimitWaiting for ₹40 lakhMany businesses in Mizoram 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.

Mizoram is one of the four special category States (with Manipur, Nagaland and Tripura) where the limit for service providers is ₹10 lakh instead of ₹20 lakh. For goods, Mizoram uses ₹20 lakh; the ₹40 lakh limit that applies in most States does not apply here.
Can I use an electricity bill as address proof for GST in Biate?+
