GST Registration: Who Needs It and When

GST registration is one of the most common compliance questions we hear from new businesses - and getting the timing right avoids penalties later.

Turnover thresholds

In most states, registration becomes mandatory once your annual turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services. Special category states have lower thresholds.

Mandatory registration regardless of turnover

Some situations require GST registration from day one - selling through e-commerce marketplaces, making inter-state supplies, or acting as an input service distributor, among others.

What happens after registration?

Once registered, you'll need to file periodic returns (monthly or quarterly, depending on your scheme) and maintain proper invoices. BharatBizs tracks these deadlines for you so nothing slips through the cracks.
