Stages of GST Registration Status

At every stage of GST registration, the applicant gets a GST application status in written form. The various stages are:

• Pending for Verification: this indicates that the application is still in progress since the portal has to verify it.
• Provisional: suggests that the application filing is not complete. Once the applicant applies, the GST portal will generate a provision ID number.
• Migrated: means that the portal successfully migrated the GST application.
• Validation Against Error: this indicates a data mismatch between the details entered by the applicant and that provided by the Income Tax Department.
• Cancelled: appears when the portal rejects or fails an application due to errors found.
