OVERVIEW
What is GST Registration?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) Registration is mandatory for any business whose turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold, and for certain categories (inter-state supply, e-commerce, etc.) regardless of turnover. It is a destination-based tax that replaced VAT, Excise Duty and Service Tax under the vision of “One Nation, One Tax”.
Obtaining a GST Identification Number (GSTIN) gives your business legal recognition as a supplier of goods or services. You can collect tax from customers and claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases. The process is 100% online and paperless. Once approved, you receive a GST Registration Certificate (Form REG-06) with your 15-digit GSTIN. Registered businesses must file periodic GST returns to stay compliant.

WHO NEEDS GST
When is GST Registration Mandatory?

E-commerce operators and sellers on platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, etc.) — mandatory under Section 24 regardless of turnover.
Casual / Reverse Charge / Others
Casual taxable persons, persons liable under reverse charge, and certain other notified categories must register.

BENEFITS
Why Register for GST?
Legal Recognition
GSTIN establishes your business as a registered supplier and is often required for formal contracts and tenders.
Input Tax Credit
Claim ITC on taxes paid on purchases, reducing the net tax cost of doing business.
E-commerce & Inter-State
Mandatory for selling through e-commerce platforms and for inter-state supply of goods.
B2B & Loans
Corporates prefer GST-registered vendors for their own ITC. GST returns support bank loan applications as proof of turnover.
