Quick Summary

Yes, it is possible for an individual to obtain a second GSTIN. This is permissible even if it's for a different company name and business line within the same state, provided it has a distinct PAN. GST registration is tied to a PAN and is state-specific, allowing for multiple registrations under different business activities if each has a unique PAN.

Yes, it is possible to obtain another GSTIN with a different company name in the same state, having a different line of business as GST Registration is PAN based and State specific registration. Every business has distinct PAN number which can be used to obtain GST registration in same state in case of different business activity.
