GST registration is mandatory once your aggregate turnover crosses ₹40 lakh (goods) or ₹20 lakh (services) — and, regardless of turnover, for e-commerce sellers, inter-state suppliers, casual and non-resident taxable persons. GST covers several registration types — Regular, Composition, Casual Taxable Person, Non-Resident, e-commerce operator, Input Service Distributor and TDS/TCS deductor. The process is fully online: submit PAN, business address proof and bank details, then receive your 15-digit GSTIN in as little as 3 working days (Rule 14A) — typically 7 with Aadhaar, up to 30 if flagged for physical verification. The government fee is ₹0.

Understand It

What Is GST Registration?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

GST registration gives your business a unique 15-digit GSTIN so you can legally collect GST, claim input tax credit, and file GST returns.

Legally

Under Sections 22–25 of the CGST Act, 2017, every supplier whose aggregate turnover exceeds the threshold — or who falls in a compulsory-registration category under Section 24 — must obtain registration in each state of supply.

Governing authority

Administered by the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) under the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), via the portal gst.gov.in.

Validity

A regular GSTIN has no expiry — it stays valid until surrendered or cancelled. Casual and non-resident registrations are valid up to 90 days.

Eligibility

Who Must Register?

Registration is mandatory once aggregate annual turnover crosses the applicable threshold, or — in specific cases — regardless of turnover.

Who / What	Threshold to register
Goods — most states	₹40 lakh
Services — most states	₹20 lakh
Goods — Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Puducherry, Telangana	₹20 lakh
Goods & services — Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura	₹10 lakh
Inter-state goods · casual · non-resident · reverse charge	Nil — register regardless
E-commerce sellers	Usually required — see note

Good to know before you register

₹40 lakh states

J&K, Assam and Himachal Pradesh have opted for the ₹40 lakh goods limit — not the ₹20 lakh special-category threshold.

30-day deadline

Register within 30 days of becoming liable — and separately in each state of supply.

E-commerce enrolment number

Small intra-state goods sellers (below ₹40 lakh, single state, with PAN) selling through an e-commerce operator can take an enrolment number instead of a GSTIN.

Notification 34/2023-CT

Voluntary registration

You may register voluntarily below the threshold — useful to claim input tax credit and sell to B2B / online buyers.

Included in aggregate turnover

All taxable supplies
Exempt supplies
Exports and zero-rated supplies
Inter-state supplies
All supplies under the same PAN, across India

Excluded from aggregate turnover

CGST, SGST, IGST and cess

Choose Correctly

What Are the Types of GST Registration?

Picking the right category affects your tax rate, return frequency and input-credit eligibility. Our experts recommend the best fit for your business.

Why It Matters

Why Is GST Registration Required?

GST registration may be required for a business based on its turnover, activity and the applicable GST rules. Here are the key reasons businesses register.

01

Stay Compliant

When your turnover crosses the applicable threshold — or you fall in a mandatory-registration category under Section 24 — registration is required. Registering on time helps avoid interest and penalty exposure.
02

Claim Eligible Input Tax Credit

A registered business can generally claim input tax credit on eligible purchases, subject to the conditions in Section 16. Registration is a prerequisite for most ITC claims.
03

Sell Across State Borders

Inter-state suppliers of goods are generally required to register regardless of turnover, with limited exceptions. A GSTIN lets you raise compliant inter-state invoices.
04

Sell Through E-Commerce

Most sellers on online marketplaces need a GSTIN to onboard, and operators collect TCS on notified supplies. A few notified small-supplier categories are exempt.
05

Build B2B Trust

Corporate buyers usually need your GSTIN on invoices to claim their own input tax credit, so registration can make it easier to win and retain B2B clients.
06

Support Business Banking

A formal GST registration adds to your business documentation, which can support current-account opening and loan applications alongside your other records.

Choose your business type

Proprietorship

Single owner · simplest setup

4 documents

PAN & Aadhaar of proprietor
Passport-size photograph
Business address proof — rent agreement + NOC, or property-tax receipt
Bank statement / cancelled cheque / passbook

Important before you upload

DSC mandatory for companies

Private Ltd, OPC and LLP applications must be signed with a Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate of the authorised signatory. Proprietors and partnerships can e-sign via Aadhaar OTP (EVC).

Address proof must be recent

The utility bill or property-tax receipt used as address proof should be dated within the last 2–3 months. Rented premises need a rent agreement plus the owner’s NOC.

File format & size limits

Photographs: JPEG up to 100 KB. Proofs and documents: PDF or JPEG up to 1–2 MB. Upload clear, un-cropped scans to avoid officer queries.

Bank proof required

A cancelled cheque, the first page of the passbook, or a bank statement showing the account holder’s name, IFSC and account number — in the business’s name.

Register within 30 days

Apply within 30 days of becoming liable — and separately in each state where you supply. Late registration attracts penalties and blocks input tax credit.
