Clear role separation reduces compliance risks and helps size your team’s responsibilities correctly.

Who Needs a GSP

• Any product that requires API-based access to GSTN for returns, e-Invoicing, or E-Way Bills.
• Enterprises and platforms needing compliant, scalable connectivity to GSTN.

Who Is an ASP

• The builder and operator of the product experience for taxpayers covering UX, workflows, reporting, and analytics.

When You Might Be Both

Some companies operate as both ASP and GSP. This requires separate authorization, audits, and infrastructure.

Most businesses choose to be an ASP and partner with a GSP instead of taking on both roles.

Decision Guide: Quick Cues

• You design UX and business logic → You are an ASP.
• You provide regulated connectivity to GSTN → You are (or partner with) a GSP.
• You need only connectivity, not UX → Engage a GSP; you remain an ASP.
