Apply Online GST Registration in India.

GST registration is mandatory for businesses whose turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold: Rs. 40 lakh (for most states), Rs. 20 lakh (for special category states), or Rs. 10 lakh (for select northeastern states). However, certain businesses, such as those under the Composition Scheme (as per CGST Section 10), have a higher threshold of Rs. 1.5 crore for traders/manufacturers and Rs. 50 lakh for service providers.

In some cases, GST registration is compulsory regardless of turnover, such as for inter-state suppliers, e-commerce operators, and businesses liable for tax deduction under GST. The process of obtaining a GST Identification Number (GSTIN) is called GST registration.

Operating without GST registration when required is a legal offence and can result in heavy penalties. Non-compliance may lead to fines, business restrictions, and legal consequences. Therefore, businesses must ensure timely registration and compliance with GST laws.
