What GST registration means

When you register under the Goods and Services Tax, the government assigns you a 15-character GSTIN. That number is what lets you charge GST on invoices, pass on tax credits and file returns. GST replaced a patchwork of earlier levies such as VAT, excise and service tax with one tax charged at every stage of the supply chain.

Who has to register

Goods suppliers once yearly turnover passes ₹40 lakh in most states (₹20 lakh in special category states)
Service providers beyond ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states)
Anyone making supplies from one state to another
Sellers who sell through e-commerce platforms
Casual and non-resident taxable persons, reverse-charge payers, input service distributors and online service suppliers from abroad

Why some register by choice

Claim credit for GST paid on purchases
Look credible to larger buyers and marketplaces
Bid for tenders and sell across state lines
Carry forward unused credit from the older tax regime
Strengthen your profile for loans and leases

Special category states: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttarakhand have lower limits. Confirm the current figure for your state.

Common questions

Is a PAN compulsory?

Yes for nearly everyone. Non-resident taxable persons and certain UN bodies are the exceptions.

Can I hold more than one registration in a state?

Yes, if you run separate business verticals that qualify as distinct.

How do I check the status of an application?

Use Track Application Status on the portal with your ARN.

What if my application is rejected?

You receive an order with reasons. Correct the gaps and apply again, or appeal within the allowed time.

Do share traders need GST?

Trading in securities is outside GST, though brokers may need registration for their services.

How is aggregate turnover counted?

It sums taxable, exempt and export supplies of all units under one PAN across India, excluding the GST itself.
