Overview

GST certificate for Benin: what and why

The GST registration certificate shows your GSTIN, legal name and place of business. Overseas buyers and tender authorities use it to verify that your business is active and tax-registered in India. The GST registration certificate is downloaded from the GST portal and certified by the authorised signatory.

Tender authorities and importers in Africa frequently ask Indian suppliers for legalised licences and registration certificates.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Benin usually ask for a legalised GST certificate for supplier registration, tenders or buyer due diligence.

The GST certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Benin in New Delhi.
