After GST registration, a 15-digit Goods and Service Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) is issued, acting as your identification number for all business operations, based on which GST will be levied and collected.

When is GST registration mandatory?

Any business in India whose aggregate turnover exceeds the threshold limit is liable to get registered. However, certain categories of businesses mentioned in Schedule-III of the MGL are liable to get registered, irrespective of the threshold. A farmer is not considered a taxable person and is not liable for GST registration.

For companies involved in the supply of services, GST registration is mandatory if their annual turnover exceeds Rs 20 lakhs. For businesses dealing in the supply or sales of goods, GST registration is mandatory in case their annual turnover exceeds Rs 40 lakhs.

GST registration threshold is Rs 10 lakhs if you have a place of business in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura or Uttarakhand.

GST registration is mandatory, irrespective of the turnover, in the case of:

• Inter-state supplies
• Supply of goods through an e-commerce portal
• Service provider
• Agent for registered principal
• Liable to pay the reverse charge
• Non-resident taxable person
