Complete GST Registration Guide: Eligibility, Documents & Step-by-Step Process

Understanding GST Registration in India

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a mandatory single indirect tax applicable to manufacturers, traders, service providers, and e-commerce sellers in India. Operating without GST when liable attracts heavy penalties under Section 122 of the CGST Act.

Turnover Threshold Limits for Mandatory Registration

• Service Providers: Mandatory if aggregate annual turnover exceeds ₹20 Lakhs (₹10 Lakhs for Special Category States).
• Goods Suppliers: Mandatory if annual turnover exceeds ₹40 Lakhs (₹20 Lakhs in Special Category States).
• Compulsory Registration (Zero Threshold): E-commerce operators, inter-state taxable supply of goods, casual taxable persons, and exporters.

Key Documents Required

1. PAN Card: PAN of the applicant / entity.
2. Identity & Address Proof of Promoters: Aadhaar Card, Passport, or Voter ID.
3. Registered Business Place Proof: Electricity bill, Property tax receipt, along with Rent Agreement & No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the landlord.
4. Bank Account Details: Cancelled cheque or first page of bank passbook / statement.
