GST Registration
Obtain a GSTIN for a business crossing the turnover threshold or registering voluntarily under GST.
What's covered
- GST registration assigns a business its 15-digit GSTIN, allowing it to collect tax on supplies and claim input tax credit on its purchases.
- Registration becomes compulsory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for a supplier of goods or ₹20 lakh for a supplier of services in general states, with a lower limit of ₹10 lakh in special-category states.
- Certain businesses must register regardless of turnover — those making inter-state supplies, selling through e-commerce platforms, operating as casual taxable persons, or treated as non-resident taxable persons.
- Operating without registration where it is required attracts a penalty, so we confirm whether a business is liable and apply for the GSTIN before tax becomes due.
