GST Rule 14A – Simplified GST Registration in 3 Days

Starting a new business often means dealing with registrations and compliances. 

To make GST registration faster and easier for small businesses, the Government introduced Rule 14A of the CGST Rules. 

What is Rule 14A?

Rule 14A provides a simplified GST registration process for eligible taxpayers. Under this rule, GST registration can be granted within 3 working days through Aadhaar authentication. 

Who Can Opt for Rule 14A?

A person can opt for registration under Rule 14A if:

• Monthly output GST liability does not exceed ₹2.5 lakh.

• Aadhaar authentication is completed successfully.

• Only one GST registration is held in a State under the same PAN. 

Benefits of Rule 14A
