GST Registration

GST (Goods and Services Tax) Registration is mandatory for any business with annual turnover exceeding ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs in special category states), businesses supplying goods or services across state boundaries, and all e-commerce sellers. A GSTIN is required to issue tax invoices, claim Input Tax Credit, and comply with India's unified indirect tax law.

Service Overview

Get GST Registered — The Right Way, the First Time

GST Registration is the first step to participating formally in India's supply chain. Without a GSTIN, you cannot issue proper tax invoices, your customers cannot claim Input Tax Credit on purchases from you, and you cannot operate as an interstate supplier or e-commerce vendor. The GST registration process has multiple steps — Aadhaar authentication, document upload, business verification, and ARN tracking. Errors in any step delay the certificate. Our team ensures accurate, complete filing and tracks your application until the GST Certificate is in your hands.

Critical: GST registration must be obtained within 30 days of crossing the turnover threshold. Selling goods or services above the threshold without registration is an offence — attracting a penalty equal to 100% of the tax due or ₹10,000, whichever is higher, for every month of non-registration.

Mandatory Registration

Who must register

Businesses with annual turnover above ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for special states), all e-commerce sellers, importers/exporters, businesses supplying across state lines, and reverse charge applicable recipients must register.

Voluntary Registration

Benefits of early registration

Even below the threshold, businesses benefit from voluntary GST registration to claim Input Tax Credit, issue proper invoices, and build credibility with B2B customers.

Composition Scheme

Simpler compliance for small businesses

Businesses with turnover below ₹1.5 crores (₹75 lakhs for service providers) can opt for the Composition Scheme — paying tax at a flat rate with quarterly returns instead of monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.

Multiple States & GSTIN

State-wise registration

Businesses operating in multiple states need a separate GSTIN for each state. We manage registrations across all states with consistent documentation.

Eligibility Criteria

Who Must Register for GST?

Registration is mandatory for the following businesses regardless of turnover.

1

Turnover Above Threshold

Businesses with aggregate annual turnover above ₹20 lakhs (goods + services) must register. For special category states (NE states, Uttarakhand, HP, J&K), the threshold is ₹10 lakhs.

2

Interstate Suppliers

Any business supplying goods or services from one state to another — even below the ₹20 lakh threshold — must mandatorily register for GST.

3

E-Commerce Sellers

All businesses selling on e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, etc.) must register regardless of turnover — even for their first sale.

4

Reverse Charge Applicable

Businesses receiving services from unregistered suppliers on which GST applies under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) must register and pay RCM GST directly.

Key Benefits

Benefits of GST Registration

A GSTIN opens commercial and financial benefits that unregistered businesses cannot access.

01

Input Tax Credit

Registered businesses can claim credit for GST paid on purchases — significantly reducing effective tax cost. An unregistered business bears the full GST on all inputs.

02

B2B Customer Acceptance

B2B buyers — companies, institutions, government — only purchase from GST-registered suppliers because they need a tax invoice to claim ITC. Registration opens enterprise markets.

03

E-Commerce Platform Access

Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and all major e-commerce marketplaces require a valid GSTIN before you can list products. Registration is essential for online retail.

04

Business Credibility

A GSTIN signals that your business is formal, tax-compliant, and serious about growth — improving perception with banks, vendors, and customers.

05

Interstate Operations

Only registered businesses can legally supply goods and services across state borders. Registration removes geographic restrictions from your business operations.

06

Refund Claims

Exporters and inverted duty structure businesses can claim GST refunds only if registered. Unregistered businesses permanently lose the refund they are entitled to.

Document Checklist

Documents Required for GST Registration

Required documents vary by entity type. These are standard requirements for most businesses.

Business Identity Documents


PAN of Business

PAN of the company, LLP, firm, or individual proprietor — the basis for GSTIN allocation.

Certificate of Incorporation / Partnership Deed

Business registration certificate for companies/LLPs, or partnership deed for firms.

Promoter PAN & Aadhaar

PAN and Aadhaar of all directors, partners, or proprietors for signatory authentication.

Aadhaar authentication of the authorised signatory is mandatory for faster registration approval. Without it, the application is processed manually by a GST officer, which takes up to 30 working days.

Post Registration

After Getting Your GSTIN

Registration is the starting line — now monthly compliance begins. Set up your GST returns infrastructure immediately.

Immediately

Display GST Certificate

Display the GST Registration Certificate prominently at your principal place of business and all additional business premises. Non-display is a minor compliance violation.

Monthly

Start Filing Monthly Returns

Begin filing GSTR-1 (outward supplies) by the 11th and GSTR-3B (summary + payment) by the 20th of each month. Late filing attracts ₹50 per day penalty (₹20/day for nil returns).

As needed

Update Additional Business Premises

If you operate from multiple locations, add each additional place of business in your GST registration via Amendment Application (Form REG-14). Each state requires a separate GSTIN.
