❓ Frequently Asked Questions — GST Registration

What is the GST registration threshold in India?+
GST registration thresholds: Normal states — goods suppliers ₹40 lakh, service providers ₹20 lakh. Special category states (Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura) — goods ₹20 lakh, services ₹10 lakh. Threshold is based on aggregate annual turnover including all branches under the same PAN. Exempted supplies are counted towards the threshold.
Do e-commerce sellers need GST registration?+
Yes — e-commerce sellers must register for GST regardless of turnover. This applies to sellers on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra, Swiggy, Zomato and all other online marketplaces. The only exception is sellers of exempt goods/services who do not need to collect GST. Registration is compulsory from the first sale.
What is voluntary GST registration?+
Businesses below the threshold can voluntarily register for GST. Benefits: can claim input tax credit on purchases, appear more credible to large buyers (B2B), can supply to GST-registered businesses without the buyer losing ITC. Drawback: compliance burden of filing monthly/quarterly returns. Useful for businesses that deal mainly with GST-registered businesses.
What is the Composition Scheme under GST?+
GST Composition Scheme is for small businesses with turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75L for special states). Flat rates: 1% for goods traders, 5% for restaurants, 6% for other service providers. Benefits: no ITC, simple quarterly return filing, lower compliance. Restrictions: cannot make inter-state supply, cannot issue tax invoice, cannot supply exempt goods.
What is the penalty for not registering under GST when required?+
Penalty for non-registration: 100% of tax due (minimum ₹10,000) if tax evasion is established. 10% of tax due (minimum ₹10,000) for non-wilful non-registration. Plus 18% interest per annum on unpaid tax from the due date. All input tax credit for the unregistered period is permanently lost. Early voluntary registration avoids all penalties.
Is GST registration required for inter-state services?+
Under the current GST law, inter-state supply of services is mandatory for registration only if the person is liable to pay GST — exempt service providers making inter-state supplies do not need registration. However, inter-state supply of goods (other than exempt) requires mandatory GST registration regardless of turnover.
