GST ARN Status: How to Track Your GST Registration Application

3. Click Search. The current status and the date of the last action are shown.

Lost the ARN? Search your email for the acknowledgement from the GST portal. If you can log in with a TRN or as a registered user, use Track Application Status → Submission Period to find applications by date instead.

1. Log in with your TRN (or credentials) and download the notice from Services → User Services → View Notices and Orders.
2. Go to Services → Registration → Application for Filing Clarifications, enter the ARN and respond to each point.
3. Upload any document asked for. The most common requests are a clearer address proof, a rent agreement, or an NOC.
4. Submit with DSC or EVC before the 7 working days run out.

Most queries are about the place of business, so a clear, recent proof with a matching address avoids most of them. TaxQue's GST registration team prepares REG-04 replies when a query comes up.

• Address proof problems: the bill is old, unclear, or in a different name from the owner who gave the NOC. Or the address typed in the form doesn't match the proof.
• Name mismatch: the legal name doesn't match the PAN exactly, including spelling and "Pvt Ltd" versus "Private Limited".
• Missing rent agreement or NOC for rented or shared premises.
• Unclear photographs of the promoters, or a signatory authorisation that wasn't uploaded.
• No one available when the officer visits for a physical verification.

Each of these can be fixed in a REG-04 reply. The fix is usually a clearer document and a short explanation, not a new application.

Since 1 November 2025, applications the system marks as low-risk are approved within 3 working days. For others, the officer has 7 working days to decide, extended to 30 days where a site verification is ordered. A REG-03 query pauses the clock until you reply.
