A practical, CA-built guide to GST registration in Mizoram — the turnover at which you must register, your GST state code and jurisdiction, the documents you’ll need, the step-by-step process, and the other Mizoram registrations that usually go with it. Current for FY 2025-26.
Do you need to register for GST in Mizoram?
In Mizoram, GST registration becomes compulsory once your aggregate (all-India, same-PAN) turnover crosses Rs. 10 lakh for a supplier of goods or Rs. 10 lakh for services. Separately, Section 24 requires registration from the first rupee if you make an inter-state taxable supply of goods, owe tax under reverse charge, sell through an e-commerce operator, or are a casual / non-resident taxable person, among others.
Mizoram is a special-category state, so the GST registration threshold is the lower Rs. 10 lakh for both goods and services — not the Rs. 40 lakh / Rs. 20 lakh that most states use.

Documents for GST registration in Mizoram

Build the exact list for a proprietor, partnership, LLP, company, HUF or trust with the GST documents checklist.
How to register — the process
- On the GST portal (gst.gov.in), choose Registration → New Registration (Part A): enter PAN, mobile and email and verify by OTP to get a Temporary Reference Number (TRN).
- Log in with the TRN and complete Part B of Form REG-01 — business details, promoters / partners / directors, the authorised signatory, principal (and any additional) place of business, top goods and services with HSN / SAC, and bank details.
- Verify with a DSC (mandatory for a company or LLP) or Aadhaar OTP (EVC). Aadhaar authentication of the primary signatory and one promoter speeds up approval.
- Track the application with the ARN; on approval you receive registration certificate REG-06 with your 15-digit GSTIN beginning 15.
There is no government fee, and approval usually takes about 7 working days when Aadhaar is authenticated (longer if physical verification of the Mizoram premises is triggered).
