Previously, I have written about the GST Bill – Everything you need to know about GST,  How to Migrate to GST from Central Excise, VAT & Service Tax and a getting Started with GST Guide launched as a Course by Indian Government GSTN website.

But a lot of users and our readers still have doubt to Obtain a GST Provisional ID that you need to get from aces.gov.in website. So, don’t worry, I will Explain and show you the entire Process to Get a GST Provisional ID. Just stick with the article and read it fully.

Minimum Requirements for Obtaining a GST Provisional ID

All existing Central Excise and Service Tax assessees will be migrated to GST starting 7th January 2017. To migrate to GST, assessees would be provided a Provisional ID and Password by CBEC.

Provisional IDs would be issued to only those assessees who have a valid PAN associated with their registration. An assessee may not be provided a Provisional ID in the following cases:

a.  The PAN associated with the registration is not valid

b. The PAN is registered with State a Tax authority and Provisional ID has been supplied by the said State Tax authority.

c. There are multiple CE/ST registrations on the same PAN in a State.

In this case, only 1 Provisional ID would be issued for the 1st registration in the alphabetical order provided any of the above 2 conditions are not met.

The assessees need to use this Provisional ID and Password to login to the GST Common Portal (https://www.gst.gov.in/) where they would be required to fill and submit the Form 20 along with necessary supporting documents.
