Brought into effect by the biggest ever tax reform in India, GST has highly eased how businesses are done in the country. The essence of GST is creating a single system of tax collection across the nation to increase the taxpayer base and avoid the tax complexities. It has integrated multiple taxes into a single system. Why go for GST registration? Registering under GST is incumbent in India for individuals and entities supplying goods or services. GST becomes mandatory when the aggregate value of the supply can exceed over Rs. 20 lakhs per annum. In case of the entity doing business in a state classified under special category, GST registration is mandatory when the total value of the supplies might cross 10 lakhs per annum. Irrespective of the turnover, a person or entity can also choose to go for GST registration. Initially the GST guidelines made it not possible to surrender a voluntary GST registration for a period of one year. Eventually this was modified and the new regulations permit the surrendering of voluntary GST registration by the applicant anytime. Here we discuss the step by step procedure of registering under <keyword id="3612537" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="gst-in-india">GST in India</keyword>. <keyword id="7261268" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="GST-registration-process">GST Registration Process</keyword> <ul><li>The Central Government of India maintains an online portal to facilitate GST registration online. Here are the steps to register under GST.</li><li>Either through a Facilitation Center or on the GSTN portal, the applicant will have to submit his PAN, mobile number and email id in Part A of Form GST REG–01. </li><li>The GST portal verifies the PAN and also sends a one-time password (OTP) for verifying the mobile number and email id. After verification, the portal sends a reference number for the application submitted on the registered mobile number and email id of the applicant. An electronic acknowledgement will be issued to the applicant in FORM GST REG-02. </li><li>The applicant has to fill in Part- B of Form GST REG-01 by inputting the application reference number. Following this, the form has to be submitted with the necessary documents attached.</li><li>In case the portal will need any additional information from the candidate, Form GST REG-03 will be issued. From the date of receipt of Form GST REG-03, the applicant must furnish the information asked by responding through Form GST REG-04 within 7 working days.</li><li>The registration certificate in Form GST REG –06 is issued to the applicant both for the principal place of business and also for every additional place of business. If an individual or entity operates multiple businesses within a state, separate application must be submitted for GST registration for each of the businesses. </li></ul>Other useful information on GST registration In case the GSTN registration portal is not satisfied with the details submitted by the candidate, the GST registration application will be rejected using Form GST REG-05. The applicant who needs to deduct TDS or collect TCS is expected to register by submitting an application in Form GST REG – 07. If the authorities find that the entity or individual is no longer liable to deduct TDS or collect TCS, the applicant will be notified of it and the registration will be cancelled in such a case.

In the state, Democratic voter registration drastically increased in June, with around 32,000 registrations this year compared to around 17,000 in June 2016.TargetSmart ran the analysis to discover how recent events "impacted our <keyword id="6358883" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="politics">politics</keyword> and how will they impact the 2020 elections," according to the firm's website. It shows that registration dipped in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic, and rebounded amid the protests."Despite a full or partial lockdown in large swaths of the country for much of the month, voter registration began to rebound as people took to the streets to protest," TargetSmart said in its report.<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/voter-registration-surged-during-blm-protests-study-finds-n1236331">As NBC News pointed out</a>, many of the protests included voter registration efforts, which may have helped drive the surge.The firm <a href="https://insights.targetsmart.com/static/images/nationalchart.pdf">reported</a> that 1.1 million Americans registered to vote in the first two weeks of June compared to 2016 where 1.6 million voters registered for the entire month. Not all states have submitted an update of their voter files, the firm said.<h2>Overall registration still seems to lag because of the coronavirus</h2>Voter registration took a devastating blow at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the analysis. Millions of voters had to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/primary-voters-dilemma-vote-and-risk-coronavirus-or-stay-home-2020-3">juggle the risk of catching the virus</a> or cast their ballots during the primaries earlier this year. According to the firm, voter registration saw a dramatic decline as coronavirus paused the country's economy. During March and April of the 2016 presidential election year, 4.7 million Americans were registered to vote. This year, only 3.12 million Americans registered to vote during that same time period. The firm also pointed out a decline in May: "In May 2016, nearly 2 million people registered, and over the same period in 2020 just over 900,000 people registered, a 54% decrease," the firm wrote in the report.

The deadline to register to vote by mail or online has passed, but it's still not too late in the many states that now offer same-day registration. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia currently allow voters to register to vote on Election Day if they miss the deadline to register by mail or online, <a href="https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/same-day-registration.aspx">according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.</a>You can register to vote in-person on Election Day in California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. North Carolina and New Mexico also offered same-day registration for those voting early at one-stop early voting sites, which were open through October 31, but do not offer Election Day registration. You must be 18 years old and a US citizen to be eligible to vote anywhere in the United States. When you register, you'll need to provide the identifying number associated with your driver's license or nondriver state ID card, or the last four digits of your Social Security number. All the states that offer same-day registration <a href="https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/same-day-registration.aspx">require new voters to present proof of residency</a> with a valid photo or non-photo ID, with many states mandating those who do not have the requisite ID to cast a provisional ballot until their residency is verified.While some allow voters to register directly at their polling places, others require same-day registrants to register at their county elections office, not a voting site, so be sure to double-check where to go in your county if you're registering on Election Day. As noted on the chart, North Dakota has no <keyword id="6424178" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="voter-registration">voter registration</keyword> and instead requires voters <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/voter-identification-requirements-in-each-state-2020-8">to show ID at the polls</a> in order to vote.

If you're already registered to vote or have recently moved within your state, you can also use same-day registration to update your registration if necessary or verify your registration to make sure it's still active.

Officials said clicking the link could trigger malware and put the victim's personal information at risk.On the other side of the country, election officials in Lake County, Florida, issued a similar warning in March.
