Cross-service FAQs: straight answers, one page

On our Normal plan (₹3,000) it typically takes 45–60 days end to end; on Express (₹5,500) about 30 days. The longest stage is government scrutiny and the publication queue, which no agent controls. See the full gazette timeline.

Yes. Once published in the e-gazette it is a permanent public record with no expiry or renewal. You can download the PDF from the official portal years later.

No honest firm can — publication is decided by the Government Press. We guarantee our side: accurate drafting, timely filing and follow-up. Be cautious of anyone promising a fixed date.

Yes, a public notice in a newspaper is part of the process. We book and print it for you, and keep the tear sheet as proof. That newspaper charge is set by the paper, separate from our professional fee, and billed at cost.

Broadly: one identity proof, one address proof, a notarised affidavit declaring the change, photographs, and a supporting document for your reason — for example a marriage or divorce record. The full, printable list is on our gazette document checklist.

It depends on where you need the change recognised. For some records an affidavit and newspaper notice suffice; for others a published gazette is expected. Our guide to when you actually need a gazette helps you decide before spending anything.

No. Registration on the GST portal has no government fee. Our professional fee to handle the whole process is ₹499. Anyone charging a large 'government fee' for registration itself should be questioned.

It depends on your turnover and business type. Some businesses must register regardless of turnover. See do I need GST registration for the thresholds.

Our fee is ₹499 per month for standard return filing. The right returns and frequency depend on your scheme — regular or composition, monthly or QRMP.

With Aadhaar authentication completed and no risk flag, the officer must approve or query within about seven working days. Flagged or non-authenticated cases can take up to about 30 days and may involve physical verification of the premises.

Suspension is a temporary hold on a GSTIN, often while a cancellation is being processed; cancellation is its permanent end. During suspension you generally cannot issue taxable invoices. See cancellation vs suspension.

No. Harsiddhi Services is an independent documentation and compliance firm in Vadodara, operating since 2017. We assist with applications; we are not a government body and cannot approve anything ourselves. See our disclaimer.

Message us on WhatsApp with a one-line description of what you need and photos of any documents you already have. A real person at our Vadodara office reads it, replies with exactly what is required, gives you a realistic timeline for your case, and quotes a fixed professional fee — all before any work begins, so there are no surprises later.

No, and we are deliberate about this. Our published prices — such as gazette ₹3,000, passport assistance ₹499, or GST registration ₹499 — are professional fees for our work only. Government fees, stamp charges, notary charges and newspaper advertisement charges are set by those bodies, kept entirely separate, and disclosed to you before we spend a rupee of it.

We are at 1st Floor, K-117, Hare Krishna Complex, Chhani Jakatnaka Circle, Vadodara 390024, Gujarat. Our hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can visit in person, or handle the whole job remotely on WhatsApp. See the office location for a map and directions.

It depends on the cause. If an application is rejected for a reason that falls within our work — a drafting slip, a filing error — we correct and re-submit at no further professional charge. If it is rejected because information supplied to us was wrong, incomplete or withheld, we help you put it right, though fresh government fees may apply for the re-submission. What we never do is promise guaranteed approval; that decision always rests with the authority.

Yes, and it is often the smart move. Many needs come in sequences — a gazette name change, then a passport re-issue, then Aadhaar and PAN updates; or a new business needing GST, a DSC and Udyam registration together. Tell us the end goal rather than just the first step, and we will sequence the whole thing sensibly so each document is ready when the next one needs it.

For most services the entire job can be handled remotely — you send document photos on WhatsApp, approve drafts, and receive the finished document digitally. Some steps, such as a passport centre visit or certain in-person verifications, are unavoidable by their nature. We tell you upfront which steps, if any, require you to be physically present.
