Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration is mandatory for businesses that cross specified turnover thresholds or engage in certain categories of trade, such as inter-state supply or e-commerce. GST registration provides a unique GSTIN (GST Identification Number) that allows you to legally collect GST, claim input tax credit, and file the required periodic returns.
Who needs it: businesses with turnover exceeding Rs. 40 lakh (goods) or Rs. 20 lakh (services) in most states (Rs. 20 lakh/Rs. 10 lakh in special category states), businesses making inter-state supply regardless of turnover, e-commerce operators and sellers, persons liable under reverse charge, and casual or non-resident taxable persons.
GST registration is processed on the GST portal, typically within 3-7 working days if documents are in order and no clarification is required.
