In Bihar, businesses—whether in Patna or smaller towns—must register under the GST once they meet the threshold. While national rules apply, the state expects thorough documentation around identity, address and banking.
Document Checklist for Bihar
PAN and Identity Proof
PAN card of business or proprietor.
Aadhaar card of proprietor or authorized signatory.
Photograph of proprietor/directors/partners.
Proof of Business Constitution
Company: Incorporation certificate, MOA/AOA.
LLP: LLP deed + registration certificate.
Partnership: Partnership Deed.
Proprietorship: Registration certificate (Shop & Establishment or similar).
Address Proof of Principal Place of Business
Utility bill (electricity/water) / property tax receipt.
Lease/rent agreement & NOC for rented premises.
Bank Account Proof
Cancelled cheque or bank statement showing account number, IFSC and business name.
Authorised Signatory & Verification
Authorisation letter or board resolution for company/LLP.
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) if applicable.
Bihar-Specific Notes
Ensure that the business address tallying with utility bill or rent agreement matches the premises where business is conducted.
For Modi-town/rural operations, verifying the address becomes a focal point for Bihar tax officials.
Mismatch in names between PAN, bank account and application often triggers follow-up queries.
Conclusion
Careful preparation of documents in Bihar—especially address and banking proofs—will make your GST registration smoother and faster.
