GST Provisional ID Not Working

In case the taxpayer obtained a GST provisional ID and the ID is not working during the enrolment process, then the concerned individual shall follow the following steps for troubleshooting:

Check if a Provisional ID is issued for the PAN by using the Check Registration Status tool on the GST Portal. In case the GST provision ID is not working during the enrolment process, then the GST provisional ID could also be canceled, expired, or inactive. By using the Check Registration Status tool, the individual can check the following statues:

Provisional: It indicates that Provisional ID is issued but Application for Enrolment of Existing Taxpayer is yet to be filed after attaching digital signatures.

Pending for Verification: It indicates that the application submitted is successfully, however, validation by the system with external agencies is under processing. The status will get updated once verification is completed.

Validation against Error: The PAN details entered do not match with the CBDT database. Kindly fill the details as per PAN details and resubmit the form.

Migrated:  The application has been successfully migrated under GST. No changes can be done to the Application now. The provisional registration certificate shall be made available at the portal after appointed date i.e. the date on which GST Act will come into force.

Canceled: Existing Registration is canceled, therefore, Provisional ID stands canceled.

The ‘Cancelled’ status indicates that Provisional ID was generated and issued but later on canceled. It could be due to the fact that the existing registration got canceled. In case, it is not correct. It is best to approach the respective Tax Department and check the reasons.
