Becoming a GST Practitioner (GSTP) is a great opportunity for individuals who want to assist taxpayers with GST related tasks such as filing returns, responding to notices, and managing compliance.

To become a GST Practitioner, firstly, it’s crucial to fulfil the eligibility criteria. For that, an individual must be an Indian resident, of sound mind, and not have declared insolvent. In addition, you should also hold a graduate or postgraduate degree, especially in Commerce, Law, Banking, Business Administration, or related fields. However, retired government officers with relevant experience are also eligible.

The next step is to register on the GST Portal by filling out Form GST PCT 01 with the required information. Upon successful approval of your application, you will obtain a GSTP Enrollment Number on your given mobile number or email address.

After enrollment, you must appear for the GSTP Examination that is conducted by the National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes & Narcotics (NACIN). Passing this exam is essential to obtain your final certification. Generally, this exam is held twice a year and covers GST law, return filing procedures, and practical compliance.

After clearing the exam successfully, you are all set to start your practice and provide GST services to those in need.
