As a business owner, one of the first compliance steps is knowing whether you need GST registration. The rules depend on your annual turnover, nature of business, and location. Missing GST registration can result in penalties, so it’s important to understand the GST registration limit and process.
At our firm, we provide end-to-end GST registration and filing services — from documentation to compliance — so you can focus on running your business.
Turnover-Based Thresholds for GST Registration
The most common reason for mandatory GST registration is crossing a specific annual turnover limit under GST.
- Suppliers of goods: ₹40 lakhs.
- Service providers: ₹20 lakhs.
- Special category states (Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttarakhand): ₹20 lakhs for goods, ₹10 lakhs for services.
Remember: Aggregate turnover in GST is calculated on a PAN India basis for GST registration, including taxable supplies, exempt supplies, and exports.
Mandatory Registration Regardless of Turnover
Even if your turnover is below the threshold, GST registration is compulsory in these cases:
- Inter-state supply of goods
- E-commerce sellers (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, etc.)
- Casual taxable persons (temporary stalls, fairs, exhibitions)
- Non-resident businesses supplying in India
- Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) cases
- Input Service Distributor (ISD) setups
Our CA experts for GST compliance ensure you stay fully covered under these rules.
