GST Registration Threshold – When Must You Register?

Not everyone needs GST registration. Here are the rules.

Mandatory Registration

  • Aggregate turnover over ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh in some states)
  • Inter-state supply – Any amount
  • Casual taxable person
  • E-commerce – Selling on Amazon, Flipkart, etc.
  • Reverse charge – Certain goods/services

Voluntary Registration

You can register even if below threshold. Benefits: ITC, B2B customers, credibility.

Composition Scheme

For turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75 lakh in some states). Simpler compliance, no ITC.

For Shop Owners

If you’re below threshold and only sell locally, you may not need GST. But many customers expect bills. Check with a CA for your case.
