Who files GST REG-01
Businesses crossing the registration threshold for their category and state, and anyone required to register regardless of turnover, such as those making inter-state supplies or selling through an e-commerce operator.
When
Generally within the period prescribed after becoming liable to register. Registering late usually means tax is still due from the date liability began.
The thing people get wrong
Applications are rejected on the address proof far more often than on eligibility. The proof has to match the premises exactly, and a rent agreement without the owner's consent letter or a mismatched electricity bill is the usual reason for a query that stalls the whole thing.
Where to get the current GST REG-01
From the GST portal. Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN). We deliberately do not host a copy of any government form. They are revised without notice, and a stale file served from here would be worse than none — you would file it and find out months later.
The tools people need around GST REG-01
GST REG-01 is filed with the authority, not with us. What we do is the document work around it — the part where a payroll portal caps uploads at a few megabytes, or two certificates have to become one file, or a statement has to become rows you can total.

Can DiemDesk file GST REG-01 for me?
No, and nothing here does. We are document tools, not a filing service. What we help with is the paperwork around the filing — combining certificates, compressing a scan under a portal's upload limit, turning a statement into a spreadsheet, or redacting an account number before you forward something. All of it runs in your browser.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. The in-browser tools open and rebuild the file on your own device, so a Form 16 or a bank statement never leaves it. Open your browser's Network tab and you will see no request carrying the file.
