- 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.

- 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.

What is the GST registration limit for businesses in Lunglei?+

Sellers of goods to other States and e-commerce sellers of goods across States must register from the first sale.
Which documents are needed for GST registration in Lunglei?+
PAN and Aadhaar of the proprietor, partners or directors, a photograph, bank proof, and proof of your business address in Lunglei: a recent electricity bill from the Power & Electricity Department, a Land Settlement Certificate (LSC) or periodic patta, or a house pass, with the owner's consent if the property is in a family member's name. For rented premises, add the rent agreement.
What is the GST state code for Mizoram?+
15. Every GSTIN issued to a business registered in Mizoram, including one in Lunglei, starts with 15, followed by the PAN of the business.

How do exporters from Lunglei to Myanmar or Bangladesh handle GST?+
Exporters need GST registration and an Import Export Code. Goods leave through the Zokhawthar (Myanmar) or Kawrpuichhuah (Bangladesh) land customs stations without tax under an LUT, and refund of unused input tax credit can be claimed. We file the LUT along with your registration.
Why is the GST registration limit lower in Mizoram?+
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 Lunglei?+
Yes. A recent electricity bill from the Power & Electricity Department for the premises in Lunglei is one of the most readily accepted proofs. If the bill is in a family member's name, add their consent letter and ID.
Do I need a separate GST registration for a branch in another district of Mizoram?+
No. One GST registration covers the whole State. A shop, godown or office in another district of Mizoram is added as an additional place of business. You need a separate registration only for another State.
Do contractors working for government departments in Lunglei need GST?+
Yes. Government departments, district councils, municipal bodies and PSUs ask for a GSTIN in tenders and work orders, and deduct TDS under GST on larger contracts. The TDS shows in your GST account and is used to pay your tax.
Do I need a trading licence along with GST in Lunglei?+
GST doesn't need one, but Mizoram has its own rules on trading: non-tribal traders usually need a trading licence, and Aizawl Municipal Corporation and Lunglei Municipal Council license many kinds of shops. A licence is also useful supporting proof of your place of business.
Do I need to visit a GST office in Lunglei?+
No. GST registration is fully online. You only confirm an Aadhaar OTP on your phone. If the officer orders a site visit, they come to your premises; we tell you exactly what to keep ready.
Is there profession tax in Mizoram?+
Yes. Mizoram levies Profession Tax under the Mizoram Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Taxation Act, 1995. Businesses and professionals enrol with the State Taxation Department, and employers deduct PT from salaries. It is separate from GST; we can help with both.
I have an office in Lunglei and another in Assam. Is one GST registration enough?+
No. GST registration is State-wise. Your Lunglei premises are registered in Mizoram (GSTIN starting 15) and the Assam office needs its own registration (starting 18), under the same PAN.
