My question is that a private limited company registered at Ahmedabad and having branches in all over india is registering for GST. whether it has to add all branches as additional business places. Also company is registering for all branches seperately.

Mr Nishant GST registration is PAN based. in case if all the companies have seperate PAN then seperate GST registration has to be made. in case of single PAN i.e centralised registration all the branch details have to be seperately updated in GST

If a company has same PAN but diff branches at various states then u have 2 options:

1. To take as number of registration as equal to number of PAN INDIA branches.

2. Else, you can take registration of one branch office as a principal place of bussiness and rest others as additional place of business.

If a person has different branches in different states then separate registration is required for each one. If different branch in single state then you can add this in additional place of bussiness.

I have added a additional place in Amendment in Core Field, now I am not able to see if the branch is added or not. There is some msg showing YOU CANNOT FILE THE AMENDMENT APPLICATION AS YOUR APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION IS PENDING FOR APPROVAL (FILE ATTACHED HEREWITH). Further if I am check application status through ARN No., its showing no record found. Pls help on this.
