Overview
GST registration gives your business a GSTIN (GST Identification Number). Once registered, you can collect GST on your sales, claim input tax credit on your purchases, and issue proper tax invoices to business customers.
Registration becomes compulsory once your aggregate turnover crosses the threshold, and in some cases it is required from the first sale regardless of turnover. Many businesses also register voluntarily because their customers expect a GSTIN.
Who this is for
Crossing the turnover threshold
Generally ₹40 lakh for suppliers of goods (in most states) and ₹20 lakh for service providers. Lower limits apply in special category states.
Selling across state lines
Inter-state supply of goods generally requires registration regardless of turnover.
Selling through e-commerce
Sellers supplying goods through e-commerce platforms usually need a GSTIN.
Registering by choice
Businesses below the threshold can register voluntarily to claim input tax credit and work with larger clients.

Common mistakes to avoid
Address proof that doesn't match
Name or address mismatches between documents are the most common reason for queries and rejection.

Missing clarification deadlines
If the officer raises a query, it has to be answered within the given time or the application may be rejected.
Frequently asked questions
Who needs GST registration?
Businesses whose aggregate turnover crosses the threshold (generally ₹40 lakh for goods in most states and ₹20 lakh for services, with lower limits in special category states), plus certain businesses regardless of turnover, such as inter-state suppliers of goods and e-commerce sellers.
Can I register for GST voluntarily?
Yes. A business below the threshold can register voluntarily. Once registered, all GST compliance and return filing requirements apply.
How long does GST registration take?
It depends on verification. Applications with Aadhaar authentication and complete documents are usually processed faster; those needing physical verification or clarification take longer. We track the application until your GSTIN is issued.
Is there a government fee for GST registration?
The GST portal does not charge a fee for registration. Our professional fee for preparing and filing the application is separate.
What happens after I get my GSTIN?
You need to issue GST-compliant invoices and file returns on time, even for months with no sales. We can take over GST return filing from your first month.
