This article was checked against official GST material available on 2026-07-29. Rates, exemptions, thresholds and portal steps can change. Match the exact supply, HSN/SAC, parties, state, place of supply and effective date to the implementing notification.
Do not file from a secondary headline alone. Keep the notification, classification working, invoices and reconciliations supporting the treatment.
What REG-06 proves
The certificate records GSTIN, legal/trade name, constitution, principal and additional places, liability/registration dates, registration type and approving authority. Annexures and QR code support verification.
Desktop download steps
Open gst.gov.in, log in with username/password and authentication, choose Services, User Services, View/Download Certificates, then select the download icon for the registration certificate and save the PDF.
Mobile browser steps
Use a current browser, open the official portal, enable desktop view only if the layout requires it, follow the same menu path and save the PDF to device downloads. Avoid unofficial apps requesting credentials.
GST app myths
Public GST/e-services apps can provide verification features, but certificate download should be confirmed through the authenticated web portal. Do not share OTP, password or DSC token to obtain a PDF.
Amend and re-download
Core-field changes require the prescribed amendment application and officer approval; non-core fields follow their applicable workflow. After approval, return to View/Download Certificates for the amended REG-06.
Display and verification
Registered persons must display the certificate at principal/additional places as prescribed and show GSTIN on the name board. Verify the PDF’s GSTIN and annexures; a screenshot without annexures may be incomplete.
