Why GST applications from Rupa get stuck, and how we prevent it
- AddressAddress proof doesn't matchThe house number, locality or PIN on the electricity bill or land papers differs from the application. We match them before filing.
- Land papersLand papers 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 papers 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 Arunachal Pradesh wait for the ₹40 lakh limit they read about online. Here the limit is ₹20 lakh for goods as well as 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.

In 2019 the GST Council let States raise the limit for suppliers of goods to ₹40 lakh. Arunachal Pradesh kept the ₹20 lakh limit, so a business here selling only goods must register once turnover crosses ₹20 lakh. The services limit is ₹20 lakh, as in most States.

Only within Arunachal Pradesh. Small sellers supplying goods only within their own State can sell through marketplaces with an enrolment number instead of GST below the limit. To sell to buyers in other States through Amazon, Flipkart or Meesho, you need GST registration from the first sale.
Do contractors working for government departments in West Kameng need GST?+
Yes. Government departments, PWD, hydro power and road projects, 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.
