GST Overview

What is GST Registration?

GST registration is the process by which a business obtains a unique identification number, known as a GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), making it liable to pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India.

According to the Central Goods and Services Tax Act of 2017, businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakh (or ₹20 lakh in specific special category states) are required to register as taxable entities.

The GSTIN, a 15-digit number, uniquely identifies each taxpayer under the GST framework and allows authorities to monitor transactions and related data effectively.

GST apply online through the official portal allows businesses to complete their registration without visiting government offices, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
