HOW TO TRACK YOUR GST APPLICATION STATUS?

Typically, it takes 15 working days to process an application (complete and accurate in all aspects). There are two ways of tracking your GST application, and we will discuss both of them. 

Upon applying for a GST login ID, you will receive an Application Reference Number (ARN). Keep it handy, as it is vital for tracking your GST application.

TRACK YOUR GST APPLICATION STATUS WITHOUT LOGGING INTO THE PORTAL

This is the most common approach for tracking the GST application, as new users cannot access the portal until they receive a login ID and a temporary password. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Go to the GST portal home page
  2. Locate ‘Services’ on the main menu bar
  3. In the sub-menu that opens up, click on ‘Track Application Status
  4. You will see a drop-down list with two options; select ‘Registration’ in it
  5. In the module that now opens up, you will need to enter the ARN that you received after submitting your application
  6. Click on ‘Search’ to find the status of your application

TRACK YOUR GST APPLICATION STATUS AFTER LOGGING IN TO THE PORTAL

In some instances, such as cancelling an existing GST account or making amendments, you will likely have a valid login ID. Therefore, you can log into the portal and track your GST application. Here’s how you can do so:

  1. Visit the GST portal home page and log into your account
  2. You will be taken to your account dashboard, which is the default screen
  3. In the menu, find ‘Services’ and click on it
  4. Under Services, you will see the option ‘Track Application Status’; click on it
  5. The application status module will ask you to choose between ‘Refunds’ and ‘Registration. Otp for the latter
  6. In the next window, you can check the status of your application using your ARN, a Submission Request Number (SRN), or even the request submission date

COMMON GST APPLICATION STATUSES

In either of the two options above, after completing the final step, you will be shown the status of your application. This is displayed in a detailed ‘case history’ screen that colour codes your application's stage. It further shows all the pertinent information regarding your application and its current status, based on which you may be required to take follow-up action. These are some of the options you’re likely to see:
