New GST Registration System From Nov 1 To Ease Compliance: How Will It Be Different?

The Centre will introduce a new GST registration system from November 01, 2025, aimed at simplifying the registration process for small businesses and public sector entities. Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced it on Friday.

The new system aims to go away with the manual registration process for small businesses whose monthly output tax liability is under Rs 2.5 lakh. They will get the automatic registration approval within the working days. It is expected to reduce delays and ease compliance burdens.

A simplified GST registration scheme (a part of the GST 2.0 reforms), will be implemented from November 1, said Ranjeet Mahtani, Partner, Dhruva Advisors, adding that this will hopefully release the pressure of both field formations and taxpayers, due to an automatic grant of GST registration for most applicants.

Experts underlined that this simplification will allow the tax body to focus on high-risk cases (identified by the system and intelligence gathered), for detailed scrutiny and probe. “Doing away with manual verification procedures and heightened scrutiny in case of every applicant had marred the registration experience of taxpayers and caused immense heartache," Mahtani added.

Experts, however, questioned it would be dependent on how many applicants are actually graded as “low risk applicants". Mahtani said the success would be dependent on how the GSTN portal operates post implementation of this proposed simplified procedure, given the chequered history of system (technological) glitches.

The new GST registration system is part of the broader GST reforms under 2.0 by the central government. Effective from September 22, the government rationalized the tax slabs into 5 per cent and 18 per cent, along with a special 40 per cent tax slab for ‘sin goods'.
