APOB Registration Under GST

Q: Is adding an APOB a core or non-core amendment?

Adding an APOB is a core amendment under GST. This means the change must go through approval from a GST officer. You must submit valid documents and wait for verification. Once approved, the new APOB will be officially added to your GST profile.

Q: Why is the 'Add New' button disabled in the APOB section?

If the ‘Add New’ button is greyed out or not clickable, it usually means that in the Principal Place of Business (PPOB) tab, the question ‘Do you have any additional place of business?’ is marked as ‘No’. You must go to the PPOB tab and select ‘Yes’ to activate the APOB tab and allow new entries.

Q: Can I add an APOB in a different state under the same GSTIN?

No, GST registration is state-specific. Each GSTIN is valid only within the state it is registered in. If you have a business location in another state, you need to apply for a new GST registration for that state. After getting the new GSTIN, you can add APOBs within that state.

Q: How long does it take for APOB approval?

Once you submit the amendment request with the required documents, the GST officer usually takes 3 to 7 working days to process it. If all documents are in order, it may get approved faster. However, if there is any issue, the officer may send a query or rejection notice, which you must respond to.

Q: What documents are needed for a rented warehouse?

To register a rented warehouse as an APOB, you need: A valid Rent Agreement mentioning the tenant's (your business’s) name A recent NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the property owner (in some cases) A Utility Bill (like electricity or water) as address proof of the premises Make sure the address in the documents exactly matches what you enter on the GST portal.

Q: Can I use a godown or warehouse as an APOB?

Yes, you can. Any physical place where you store goods for business purposes can be added as an APOB under GST. This includes godowns, cold storages, warehouses, distribution hubs, or any other storage unit. Make sure you have valid documents proving ownership or rental rights.

Q: What happens if I don't register my warehouse as an APOB?

If you operate from a warehouse or godown that is not listed in your GST registration, you may face: Penalties of Rs. 10,000 or more. Seizure of goods during inspections. Loss of Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases stored at that place. Possible suspension or cancellation of GST registration. To avoid these issues, it’s important to register every business location.

Q: Do I need to upload documents for every APOB I add?

Yes, for each additional place, you must upload: Proof of address (electricity bill, rent agreement, etc.) NOC or consent letter, if using someone else’s property Documents must be clear, recent, and valid These documents help the GST officer verify that the place is used for business.

Q: Can I remove an APOB from my GST certificate?

Yes, if you are no longer using a business location, you can remove it by logging into the GST portal and filing an amendment of registration (core fields). Once submitted, the request will go to the GST officer for approval. After verification, the removed address will no longer show in your GST certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many additional places of business can I add to my GST registration?

−

There is no limit to the number of Additional Places of Business (APOB) you can add under one GSTIN. If you operate from multiple offices, branches, warehouses, or godowns within the same state, you can add each of them under the same GST registration. However, for different states, you need to apply for a separate GSTIN.
