Board resolution for GST registration
A board resolution for GST registration authorises the company to obtain registration under the GST Acts for a stated place of business and appoints the authorised signatory who will sign applications and returns on the GST portal. The GST portal asks for proof of the signatory’s authorisation for companies, and the certified true copy of this resolution is the standard proof.

Common questions
Is a board resolution required for GST registration of a company?
Yes. In a company the application and returns are signed by an authorised signatory, and the portal requires proof of authorisation, which for companies is a board resolution or an authorisation letter backed by one.
Can a company have more than one GST authorised signatory?
Yes, the portal permits multiple authorised signatories with one marked primary; the resolution can name each of them.
Is a fresh resolution needed for an additional place of business?
A resolution covering the amendment application is the clean practice, and this generator’s additional-place wording covers it.
Can OnCompliance draft this for me?
Yes. OnCompliance drafts the resolution on the company’s letterhead with the details filled from the client’s record, records it in the minutes, and files it in the client’s folder, alongside the notice of the meeting and every other board document.
