The Goods and Services Tax (GST), introduced in India on 1 July 2017 under the CGST Act, 2017, replaced a fragmented indirect tax structure comprising VAT, service tax, central excise, and several other levies. Today, GST is the single most important indirect tax compliance obligation for any business operating in India, and getting the registration right from day one determines your ability to claim Input Tax Credit, issue valid tax invoices, and operate without legal exposure.
Under the GST law, registration is mandatory for every supplier whose aggregate annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh (for goods) or ₹20 lakh (for services), with a lower threshold of ₹10 lakh applicable to businesses in Special Category States. Beyond turnover thresholds, certain categories of businesses, including inter-state suppliers, e-commerce sellers, casual taxable persons, and non-resident taxable persons, are required to register regardless of turnover.
At KDP (Kamdar Desai & Patel LLP), our Chartered Accountants have been advising businesses on indirect taxation since before GST itself existed. We bring seven decades of compliance expertise to every GST registration engagement, ensuring that your GSTIN is obtained accurately, your registration category is correctly determined, and your post-registration filing obligations are set up correctly from the outset.
GST registration is not merely a one-time form-filling exercise. The registration type you choose (Regular, Composition, or Input Service Distributor), the business state and nature of supply declared, and the HSN/SAC codes assigned at the time of registration all have downstream compliance implications. Errors at the registration stage create cascading problems, mismatch notices, blocked Input Tax Credit, and department scrutiny. We eliminate that risk entirely.
Get StartedThe standard registration for businesses exceeding the turnover threshold or mandatorily required to register. Applicable to manufacturers, traders, service providers, and import-export businesses. Entitles you to collect GST, issue tax invoices, and claim full Input Tax Credit on purchases.
This is available to eligible small businesses with annual turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75 lakh for certain special category states). Registered taxpayers pay GST at a flat reduced rate on turnover and are exempt from the complexities of regular monthly returns, but cannot collect GST from customers or claim Input Tax Credit.
Businesses below the mandatory threshold can voluntarily obtain GSTIN to avail Input Tax Credit on purchases, participate in government tenders, issue GST-compliant invoices to GST-registered clients, and build business credibility.
A Non-Resident Taxable Person (NRTP) supplying taxable goods or services in India must register under GST before commencing operations, even if the engagement is temporary.

Clear answers to the most common GST registration queries from businesses and startups.
For businesses supplying goods, the threshold is ₹40 lakh in annual aggregate turnover (₹20 lakh for Special Category States). For service providers, the threshold is ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for Special Category States). Certain categories including inter-state suppliers, e-commerce sellers, and non-resident taxable persons must register regardless of turnover.
Once all documents are correctly submitted, GST registration is typically granted within 3 to 7 working days, provided Aadhaar authentication is completed. If the GST officer raises a query (REG-03 notice), the timeline extends by the time taken to respond. KDP's pre-submission review minimises the likelihood of queries.
Operating without GST registration when mandatory attracts a penalty of 100% of the tax evaded or ₹10,000, whichever is higher, under Section 122 of the CGST Act. Additionally, invoices issued without GSTIN are invalid, and the business is exposed to back-tax demands with interest.
Yes. Voluntary registration is available to any business below the mandatory threshold. It allows you to claim Input Tax Credit on purchases, issue GST-compliant invoices, bid for government tenders, and establish formal tax compliance credentials. Once registered voluntarily, you must comply with all regular filing obligations.
Yes. GST registration is state-specific. If your business has offices, warehouses, or operations in more than one state, a separate GSTIN is required for each state. A business with a single central office receiving services used across multiple branch states may benefit from an Input Service Distributor (ISD) registration instead.
The Composition Scheme is a simplified GST compliance option for small businesses with aggregate turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (manufacturers and traders) or ₹50 lakh (restaurant services). Registered dealers pay GST at flat reduced rates (1%–5%) and file only quarterly returns. However, they cannot collect GST from customers, cannot claim Input Tax Credit, and cannot make interstate supplies.
Yes. A foreign company making taxable supplies in India must register as a Non-Resident Taxable Person (NRTP) under Section 27 of the CGST Act. The registration is valid for the period of supply (up to 90 days, extendable). An advance deposit of estimated GST liability is required at the time of registration.
Typically: PAN of the entity and its directors/partners/proprietor; Aadhaar of the authorised signatory; proof of principal place of business (electricity bill, rent agreement, or ownership document); latest bank statement or cancelled cheque; Certificate of Incorporation (for companies and LLPs); and passport-size photo of the authorised signatory.
