Provisional ID-

The first step is to acquire the provisional ID of Haryana before actually initiating any registration proceedings.

The VAT dealer, registering for the migration process, will have to log into the official Haryana Commercial Tax Department portal. The login credentials will be the VAT TIN as identification (ID) and any other credentials like date of birth and such. After this essential information is processed, the follow-up will be a pop-up window showing the complete details of goods and service tax network (GSTN) provisional identification along with an auto-generated temporary password, which can be used initially for log in purposes and can be changed in the future.

Final registration

Conversion of Provisional ID into a GST username password- The second step will involve converting the provisional ID’s to goods and service tax (GST) user ID and password.

For this next step of the GST registration procedure, the VAT dealer will have to open a website and click on New User option. After the New User button has been clicked, a new page will follow, asking the user to enter the login ID and password. Once the id and password input is completed, contact details will be required including:

• Mobile number
• Email address

On successful entry of both mobile number and email address, a one-time password (OTP) will be sent to the particular mobile number that has been entered. Use that OTP and enter it in the OTP box, then the dealer can proceed with the new user identification name and password for the goods and service tax network (GSTN)

Other requirements- The final step is more in preparation where the entire document should be kept ready before filling out the GST form for easier and quicker registration.

As mentioned earlier, there are some other requirements needed during the time of migration registration process.

• The VAT dealer applying for migration process is required to have a functional PAN (Permanent account number) card.
• Full name and residential address proof
• Passport number and government-issued Aadhar card
• Other necessary mentions are the authorized signatures, partner or proprietors names or the Karta if HUF or directors and partners of LLP.
• The VAT dealer should also keep ready the bank account details such as IFSC code and bank’s complete address and location details.
• After these banks and personal proof, documents are sorted and ready, they should be converted to soft copies in the form of JPEG or pdf files done through scanning or high pixels photograph. Normally according to GSTN guidelines^[1], the files and images should be of 100 kb as the maximum, hence, one can arrange it accordingly. It is important to have it ready for a less difficult registration process.
• On the registration portals, the details on every page should be filled in carefully. Should there be any fault in the form filling, a code error will be shown and in the same way, if the details are filled correctly, a right tick mark will be shown at the top of the page.
• Another important document, which should be kept ready, is the DSC (digital signature certificate) of the applicant. The DSC used in the registration process should be verified and registered before using it as a document proof because after the complete process of migration registration is completed, an e-signature will be used as proof.

The steps written above are the complete registration process done for the GST migration of Haryana VAT dealers whose deadline was from sixteen December 2016 to thirty-one December 2016. The new members or applicants looking forward to having the GST migration processed, they can refer to these steps for easy and fast registration.
