GST Registration

GST Registration- Definition, Advantages, Eligibility, and Penalty:

GST (Goods and Service Tax) registration is India's most essential tax reform. It is the government's initiative to boost business facility in India. The introduction of the GST registration not only regulated unorganized economic sectors, but also facilitated the flow of foreign investment in India.

Under the GST regime it is mandatory to register as a regular taxpayer for a business whose estimated annual turnover exceeds INR 40 Lacs (INR 20 Lakhs for Northeast States). GST registration is compulsory for specific businesses such as Export-Import, E-Commerce, Casual Dealer, and Market Place Aggregator. These business units need a GSTIN regardless of annual business turnover.

If a business unit that applies to GST delivers goods or services without a GST number, it is considered an offense. Such an offense entails a liability under the GST Act to pay a heavy penalty.

It usually takes 3-6 working days to register for GST.
