What a Chennai GST registration actually involves
You file on the single national GST portal, but a Chennai application is administered locally — split between the Centre (the CGST Chennai Commissionerate) and the State (the Tamil Nadu GST / Commercial Taxes department). Which office your GSTIN falls under is allocated after your ARN; you don't choose it. The things to get right the first time are:
1 · Biometric Aadhaar at a Chennai GSK
Biometric Aadhaar authentication applies to Tamil Nadu applicants under Rule 8 — a risk-based check. If the portal flags you, the promoter/partner and authorised signatory visit a GST Suvidha Kendra in Chennai once (fingerprint, photo, originals) within 15 days of Part B of REG-01, or the ARN is not issued. We book your nearest slot and prep the originals.
2 · Premises proof your ward accepts
Rented → rent agreement + owner's electricity bill + a landlord NOC. Owned → electricity bill + ownership papers. Co-working / virtual office → allowed, but only with a proper agreement, utility bill and signage. We vet the address before filing so it does not draw a REG-03 query.
3 · Shop & Establishment + Professional Tax
a Shop & Establishment registration isn't required for GST but is the cleanest Chennai existence proof — banks ask for it. And Tamil Nadu levies Professional Tax (a business enrolment, plus a return with employees) — most meet it later with a penalty; we flag it at the GST stage.

GST Registration in Chennai — FAQs
Which office will handle my GST registration in Chennai?
You file on the one national GST portal. After your ARN is generated the application is allocated to either the Centre (the CGST Chennai Commissionerate) or the State (Tamil Nadu GST / Commercial Taxes). The allocation is automatic; you do not choose your office.
Will I be called for biometric Aadhaar verification in Chennai?
You may be — it is a risk-based check under Rule 8. If flagged, the promoter/partner and authorised signatory visit a GST Suvidha Kendra in Chennai once, within 15 days of submitting Part B of REG-01, or the ARN is not issued. We book your nearest GSK slot.
Do I need a Shop & Establishment licence for GST in Chennai?
No — it is not a precondition for GST. It is, though, the cleanest Chennai address and existence proof and banks usually ask for it, so many businesses file both together. We can.
I work from home or a co-working space in Chennai — can I still register?
Yes. We check that your premises proof — rent agreement, owner's bill, NOC, or a co-working provider's agreement with a utility bill and signage — will clear verification before we file, so it does not draw a clarification notice.
After GST, do I need Professional Tax in Tamil Nadu?
Yes. Tamil Nadu levies Professional Tax — a business enrolment, plus a return once you have employees. We flag and file it at the GST stage because it is commonly missed.
How much does GST registration cost in Chennai and how long does it take?
Our professional fee is Rs 299. The government charges nothing for GST registration. On the Rule 14A fast-track route (where eligible) the GSTIN comes in about 3 working days from when we have all documents; a biometric GSK visit can add a few days.
