Hi, I recently completed my LLB degree and I'm in the next step to entroll as an Advocate in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry Bar council. I have GST account and i applied for the cancellation. It will take 30 days to complete the cancellation process. Can i apply for the Bar council enrollment now or have to wait for the GST cancellation. Experts kindly advice me. Thanks in advance!

Are you doing any business?,

Generally, an advocate in India cannot personally engage in any business while practicing law.

However, they can be a sleeping partner in a firm, with certain restrictions, and can also engage in certain types of businesses like legal consultancy or educational ventures. 

Is your GST relkated to any business other than the ones mentioned above?

 if you have closed your business, you can very well get enrolled as an advocate in the bar council if you satisfy the conditions of the bar council for enrolment
