Let us understand Deemed registration u/s 26 of CGST Act,2017  is simple words: -  These are the linking provisions between the Central Goods and Services Tax and State/Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act. By enabling these provisions, the burden of taking registrations under various Acts has been removed. Thus, if a supplier takes a registration under one act it shall be deemed that the registration has also been obtained under the other Act and vice-versa. Even otherwise the registration must be taken on the common portal and is based on the PAN hence the registration will remain common across various Acts. However, if the registration is rejected under the Central Goods and Services Tax, then such rejection will be treated as if the registration has not been obtained under the Central Goods and Services Tax even though it has been obtained in State/Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act. If an application for registration has been rejected under State/Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act then it shall be deemed that the same has been rejected under the Central Goods and Services Tax
