Do you need GST registration?
GST registration is generally mandatory when your annual turnover crosses the threshold limit (₹40 lakh for goods in most states, ₹20 lakh for services). E-commerce sellers and certain businesses must register regardless of turnover.
Documents usually required
- PAN of the business or proprietor
- Aadhaar of the authorized signatory
- Proof of business address (rent agreement or electricity bill)
- Bank account details and cancelled cheque
- Photographs and authorization letter (for companies/LLPs)
After registration: stay compliant
Once registered, you must issue GST-compliant invoices, file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B on schedule, and reconcile Input Tax Credit (ITC) with your suppliers' filings. Missing deadlines can lead to penalties and blocked credits.
