A typical order of registration in Tripura

Decide your structure. Private Limited or LLP if you will raise funding or want limited liability; proprietorship or partnership for the simplest start.
Register the entity. Company or LLP centrally on the MCA portal; partnership with the Tripura Registrar of Firms; a proprietorship is built from the registrations below.
Get PAN, TAN and GST as needed. PAN and TAN come with incorporation; register for GST if you cross the threshold or sell online or across states.
Take the state registrations. Shops & Establishment for your Tripura premises, and professional tax since Tripura levies it, plus a trade licence if your activity needs one.
Add free recognitions. Udyam (MSME) and DPIIT startup recognition are free and worth taking, and open schemes and tenders.
