Turnover Limits for GST Registration
Quick overview of when GST registration is optional vs mandatory and sector-wise thresholds.

GST registration is optional for any person but becomes mandatory when aggregate turnover crosses specified thresholds:

For special category states the limits are lower. Aggregate turnover is computed PAN-India and includes taxable supplies,
exempt supplies, exports and inter-state supplies.
Thresholds by Sector / Category
| Sector / Category | Threshold Limit for GST Registration |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing Sector | ₹40 lakhs or higher |
| Service Sector | ₹20 lakhs or higher |
| Special Category States | ₹10 lakhs or higher |
Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Jammu & Kashmir, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttarakhand.
Important Notes (boxed)
Registration — Voluntary or Mandatory
GST can be taken voluntarily by any person. It becomes mandatory once the applicable turnover threshold is exceeded (sector/state dependent).
Aggregate Turnover

Businesses that need to register can apply online via the official GST portal for a quick and convenient process.

Benefits of Registering for GST
Registration under GST is an important step towards a unified tax system in India.
A taxpayer who registers under the GST Act of 2017 will receive the following benefits:
Legal Recognition
A firm can obtain legal recognition as a supplier of goods or services by registering for GST. This validates the company’s legal status as an official entity.
Input Tax Credit (ITC)
Registered businesses can deduct the GST paid on purchases from the GST collected on sales. This lowers the overall tax liability.
Simplified Process
GST has streamlined tax submission and payment, making compliance faster and easier with a single online platform.
Composition Scheme
Small businesses can opt to pay tax at a lower fixed rate under the GST Composition Scheme, reducing their tax burden and compliance needs.
Higher Threshold for Registration
Only businesses with turnover above ₹40 lakh need to register, exempting many small businesses from mandatory GST registration.
Eliminates Cascading Effect of Taxes
GST allows input tax credit across the supply chain, reducing the overall tax burden on end consumers.
Types of GST Registration
Understanding the different GST types for streamlined taxation across India.
CGST

SGST

IGST
Integrated Goods and Services Tax — imposed on inter-state transactions of goods and services.
UTGST
Union Territory Goods and Services Tax — levied along with CGST within Union Territories like Delhi, Chandigarh, and Lakshadweep.

Form GST REG-01
What is Form GST REG-01? It is the official application form for obtaining GST registration in India.
This form is filed by taxpayers newly registered under GST to obtain an input tax credit (ITC) on stock held. It is applicable to most entities except non-resident taxable persons, TDS deductors, TCS collectors, and certain online suppliers.
GSTIN and Its Significance
A GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) is a 15-digit code that identifies a registered taxpayer under the GST regime. It ensures greater transparency, aids in collecting GST-related data, and prevents tax evasion.
For small enterprises, having a GSTIN provides access to government schemes, allows claiming input tax credit (ITC), and boosts credibility with suppliers and customers.
Understanding Your GST Identification Number
A GSTIN is structured as follows:
State Code (e.g., 22 = Chhattisgarh)
PAN of the Business (e.g., ABCDE1234F)
Entity Code (e.g., 1)
Blank (Currently “Z”)
Check Code for Verification (e.g., 5)
GST Compliance Rating
The GST compliance rating is a score given by the government based on factors like timely filing of returns, furnishing input credit details, and taxes paid. It reflects how compliant a business is with GST rules.
GST Certificate
A GST certificate is a legal document issued to businesses registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. It serves as proof of GST registration and contains essential details like:
- GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number)
- Legal name and trade name (if applicable)
- Type of registration
- Principal place of business
- Additional places of business
The GST certificate ensures compliance with GST laws, enabling businesses to operate legally while enhancing credibility in the market. It is mandatory for businesses exceeding the turnover threshold or engaged in interstate supply of goods or services.
- Legal authority to collect GST
- Enables claiming input tax credit
- Builds trust and market reputation
- Required for government tenders and contracts
Penalties for Non-Compliance
While GST registration has no fees, penalties for non-compliance can be substantial. These include:
- Late filing penalties for GST returns
- Interest on unpaid GST liabilities
- Suspension or cancellation of GST registration
- 10% of tax due (minimum ₹10,000) for underpayment
- Maximum penalty is 10% of total tax due; interest may also apply
Consequences of Not Registering for GST
Failing to obtain GST registration when required carries strict penalties under the Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017:
- Penalty of ₹10,000 or the amount of tax evaded, whichever is higher
- Penalty of ₹2 lakh or ₹10,000, whichever is higher
