Registrations Overview every statutory identity, in one place.

Every business in India operates on a stack of statutory registrations and identifiers. Some are universal — PAN, TAN, GST registration are required of almost every commercial entity. Others depend on activity — Import Export Code for cross-border trade, ICEGATE registration for customs filings, FSSAI for food businesses, and the Legal Entity Identifier code for entities transacting in financial markets. Still others are linked to size and policy benefits — Udyam registration for MSME status, Startup India recognition for early-stage tax holidays, and the Shop and Establishment Act registration for any business with a place of work in an Indian state.

Each of these registrations is administered by a different authority — the Ministry of Commerce for Startup India, the Ministry of MSME for Udyam, CBIC for ICEGATE and IEC, the Reserve Bank of India for the LEI, and the state Labour Department for Shop Act — with its own application format, eligibility criteria, supporting document set, fees, and renewal cycle. Missing or misaligned registrations show up during banking onboarding, GST input credit claims, tender bidding, government scheme applications, and investor diligence. Aligning them upfront is far cheaper than fixing them later.

Our registrations practice acts as the single window for businesses needing statutory identities — fresh registrations for newly formed entities, addition of registrations as business activities expand, amendment of existing registrations when entity names or addresses change, and renewal of time-bound certificates. We handle the digital signature, document preparation, application filing, departmental follow-up, and final certificate procurement so the founder or finance team can focus on the business.
