GST Registration

GST registration is a process where businesses and individuals register themselves under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India. This registration is mandatory for businesses with an annual turnover above a certain limit, currently set at ₹40 lakh for goods suppliers and ₹20 lakh for service providers. Once registered, entities can collect GST from their customers, which is then remitted to the government. GST registration involves submission of various documents such as identity proof, address proof, PAN card, bank account details and business registration documents. It enables businesses to avail input tax credits, file GST returns and comply with tax regulations, thereby promoting a transparent and efficient tax system in the country.
