Get Your Business GST Registered the Right Way

GST Registration gives an eligible business a unique 15-digit GSTIN and brings it under the applicable GST compliance framework — but registration is more than filling out an online form.

The right business details, PAN, address proof, authorised signatory, HSN/SAC classification and supporting documents all matter. We help you check eligibility, prepare the application correctly and track it through to the GSTIN.

Overview

GST Registration Is Not Just "Getting a Certificate"

Once registered, a taxpayer can issue GST tax invoices, collect applicable GST, claim eligible Input Tax Credit, report taxable supplies and conduct eligible interstate business. But registration also brings ongoing responsibilities — maintaining proper records, issuing compliant invoices and filing applicable GST returns.

Aggregate Turnover Is PAN-Wide

Turnover is generally considered on a PAN-wide basis, not separately for every branch or state, when checking whether registration is mandatory.

Voluntary Registration Is Possible

A business below the mandatory threshold may still register voluntarily where it is legally available and commercially useful — but this also brings the applicable compliance responsibilities.

Registration ≠ Return Filing

GST Registration means obtaining the GSTIN. GST Return Filing is the ongoing reporting of transactions and tax after registration — these are separate, continuing services.

When Registration Becomes Mandatory

GST Registration Turnover Limits

The requirement depends on the nature of supply, turnover, state and other applicable provisions — not turnover alone.

Business Category Regular States Applicable Special Category States
Suppliers of Goods₹40 lakh₹20 lakh
Suppliers of Services₹20 lakh₹10 lakh

These thresholds need to be considered along with the applicable GST provisions and the nature of your business. Aggregate turnover is generally assessed on a PAN-wide basis, including taxable, exempt and export supplies, and excluding CGST, SGST, IGST and Cess.

Clear Expectations

What GST Registration Does Not Mean

GST registration provides your business with a GSTIN and a registered tax identity — it does not remove your ongoing compliance responsibilities.

Rented or owned premises need appropriate address proof — a rent/lease agreement with the owner's NOC for rented property, or an electricity bill or property tax receipt for owned property. Exact acceptable combinations depend on GST portal requirements.

Clear Distinction

GST Registration vs GST Return Filing

Two separate, ongoing services — not the same thing.
