Overview
GST registration is compulsory once your turnover crosses the threshold for your state and category of supply, and immediately in certain cases regardless of turnover — inter-state taxable supply, e-commerce operators and non-resident taxable persons among them.
Plenty of businesses also register voluntarily, either to claim input tax credit or because larger customers will not onboard an unregistered supplier.
The application is short. What causes delay is a mismatch between the documents and the details entered, or a place of business that cannot be substantiated. We check both before filing and handle any clarification the officer raises.

Questions about GST Registration
Do I have to register if my turnover is below the threshold?
Not usually, but there are exceptions where registration is compulsory regardless of turnover, including inter-state taxable supply and sales through e-commerce operators. Many businesses below the threshold register voluntarily to claim input tax credit.
Can I register from a home office or co-working space?
Yes, provided you can produce acceptable proof of the place of business — an ownership document, a rent agreement, or a no-objection certificate along with a recent utility bill.
What happens after registration?
You must issue GST-compliant invoices, file periodic returns even in months with no activity, and maintain the prescribed records. Missing returns attracts late fees and can lead to cancellation of the registration.
Do I need separate registrations for different states?
Yes. GST registration is state-specific, so a place of business in more than one state requires a registration in each.
