Registrations — statutory paperwork, partner-led.

Every registration a business needs in India — from the foundational Income-tax PAN and GST registration to specialised approvals like STPI for IT exporters, FSSAI for food businesses and APEDA for agricultural exporters. Each application is filed by a partner-supervised team, follow-ups are tracked through to certificate issuance, and the registration certificate lands in your folder with the supporting documents indexed and ready for downstream filings.

Why work with us

Three things every registration client gets.

/ 01 · Coordination

One file, end-to-end.

One partner-supervised team handles the application, the document curation, the portal follow-up and the certificate retrieval. You don’t deal with three different desks for PAN, GST and MSME — the same file owner shepherds every application from start to certificate. Status is reported back weekly until issuance.

/ 02 · Documentation

Every supporting document indexed.

The certificate is only step one. We retain the full application bundle — KYC, address proof, authorisation letters, board resolutions, declarations — indexed by registration in a single client folder. So when an assessment, a renewal or a downstream filing needs the source documents, the answer is one click away.

/ 03 · Downstream readiness

Registration to first filing, without a handoff.

The same desk that filed your GST registration also files your first GSTR-1. The team that issued your TAN also runs your first TDS quarter. No re-onboarding between ‘registration vendor’ and ‘compliance vendor’. The continuity reduces errors and gets you to a clean compliance rhythm faster.

FAQ

Five questions we get asked.

Which registrations does a new SME typically need? +
For a Bengaluru-based services SME: PAN (for the entity), TAN (if employees), GST (if turnover crosses the threshold or interstate supplies are made), Karnataka Shops & Establishments (for the establishment), Professional Tax (employer PTRC + employee PTEC), and MSME / Udyam (recommended for priority-lending and Section 43B(h) protection). EPF and ESI follow once headcount thresholds are crossed.
How long does a registration take? +
PAN: 7–15 working days. TAN: 5–10 days. GST: 3–7 days for clean applications, longer if the department asks for clarifications. Karnataka Shops & Establishments: same day for online. EPF: 7–15 days. ESI: 10–20 days. IEC: 1–3 days. FSSAI Basic: 7–15 days; State / Central FSSAI: 30–60 days. STPI: 30–90 days. These are typical clean-case timelines.
Can registrations be done remotely without office visits? +
Yes, the vast majority. Most registrations are now end-to-end online — we collect documents over secure file share, e-sign authorisation letters, and file electronically. A few (BBMP Trade License, sometimes ESI for older establishments) may need a physical visit to the office; we coordinate that when needed.
Do you handle renewals and amendments as well? +
Yes — renewals (FSSAI, BBMP Trade License, STPI bond), amendments (address change, partner addition / removal, business activity change) and cancellations are all part of the practice. We track renewal due dates and proactively start the process 30–60 days ahead.
What if the registration application is rejected? +
We respond to the department’s clarification or rejection notice, fix the deficiency and re-file at no extra cost when the issue is on our side. Where the rejection is on a substantive ground (e.g. address mismatch, eligibility), we walk the client through the alternative path before re-applying.
