A board resolution for GST authorises a person to act as the company's authorised signatory for GST registration and compliances.
When a company applies for GST registration, the portal requires a board resolution (or authorisation letter) naming the authorised signatory who will sign and file applications, returns and documents, and represent the company before the GST authorities. The same format can authorise a signatory for loans, contracts or tenders.
When is this resolution needed?
Use this at the time of GST registration, when changing the authorised signatory, or to authorise someone to sign loan or contract documents.
Who can pass it?
The Board passes this resolution. The authorisation remains valid until revoked by the Board.
This is a free template for general convenience and not a substitute for professional advice. The resolution must be passed at a duly convened meeting, recorded in the minutes and certified by an authorised signatory. Some matters also require members' approval or specific e-form filings.
