Uttar Pradesh retained its position at the top of the national list for housing the highest number of registered Goods and Services Tax (GST) assesses, with Maharashtra securing the second spot. The ranking reflects the scale of commercial activity and business registrations across these key economic regions.

Understanding state-level registration trends helps professionals anticipate compliance workloads, audit schedules, and regional advisory needs.

Bottom Line: Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra lead the nation in GST registrations, highlighting concentrated commercial activity that shapes regional tax practice.
