GST ARN Status

Everybody knows what GST is and who requires a GST registration. Many business owners need ARN or the Application Reference Number for their entity. ARN number will be provided only when a company or a businessman is registered for GST. Following are some of the details you might need to know about the ARN status and how you can check it online.

What is GST ARN Number?

Application Reference Number (ARN) is a GST identifier. When a GST registration application is submitted, an ARN number is produced automatically on the GST Portal. The GST ARN number can then be used to trace the GST registration status of the application until the government issues a GST Certificate and GSTIN. After submitting a GST registration application, an ARN number is generated on the GST Portal. The GST ARN number can be used to follow the status of the GST registration application once it has been generated.

Types of GST ARN Status

There are different types of ARN status. You can find the details regarding these ARN statuses below.

1. Provisional

The status provisional signifies that the application registration is just temporary and will become permanent once specific conditions are met. It does, however, imply that your application was submitted successfully. In the meanwhile, the provisional IDs can be utilized.

2. Pending for Verification

The status “pending for verification” means that the application has been submitted fruitfully. Yet, a GST officer has to verify the information.

3. Validation Against Error

When you provide an incorrect Permanent Account Number (PAN number), which does not match the data provided to the Income Tax (IT) department, you will receive the status Validation Against Error. If you see this state, you must immediately correct your information.

4. Migrated

This ARN status shows that the application has been transferred to GST and the submission has been completed. You’ll have to reapply if you have any concerns, and you could not be eligible for GST registration under the GST Act.

5. Application Approved

This status indicates that the GST officer has approved your application. You will be given a certificate of registration, which will allow you to generate a password and username to log into your account.

6. Cancelled

If you see the status as cancelled, then it means that the GST officer has denied the application. The reason might be due to discrepancies in the data or issues with the articles that were submitted.
