Understanding GST Authorized Signatories: Your Complete Guide

Ever wondered who can legally sign your GST documents? Let's break down everything you need to know about GST Authorized Signatories in simple terms!

What's a GST Authorized Signatory?

Think of a GST Authorized Signatory as your company's official representative for all things GST. Just like you need a designated driver for a road trip, your business needs a designated person to handle GST-related responsibilities. This person can sign documents, manage GST portal activities, and represent your business for GST matters.

Essential Checklist for Choosing Your GST Signatory

Let's make this super simple. Here's what you need to know:

• You need to pick a primary signatory before you can register for GST - it's like choosing a team captain before starting a game

  
  

• The person must be an adult (sorry, no wonder kids allowed!) and must have a PAN card

  
  

• You'll need their email and phone number during registration - this is crucial for all communications

  
  

• For companies, you'll need official board approval (we'll show you how to get this done)

  
  

• You can have up to 10 authorized signatories, but only one can be the primary signatory - think of it as having one head chef and several sous chefs

  
  

Who Can Be Your GST Signatory?

Different business types have different rules:

• For sole proprietorship businesses: It's usually you (the owner) or someone you trust to act on your behalf

  
  

• For Hindu Undivided Family (HUF): The Karta is your go-to person, but another adult family member can step in if needed

  
  

• For companies: Your CEO, MD, director, or any board-approved person can take this role

  
  

• For LLPs and partnerships: Any partner or authorized person can handle these responsibilities
