GST registration is mandatory if your annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs in special category states). Here's everything you need to know to get your GSTIN in 7 days.
Who needs to register for GST?
You must register for GST if any of the following apply to your business:
- Annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (services) or ₹40 lakhs (goods)
- You supply goods or services inter-state, regardless of turnover
- You sell through e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho) — mandatory regardless of turnover
- You are a casual taxable person or non-resident taxable person
- You are required to deduct TDS/TCS under GST
💡 Tip: Even if your turnover is below the threshold, voluntary GST registration is beneficial — it allows you to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) and appear more credible to large business customers.

Step-by-step GST registration process

- Part B — Fill application: Login with TRN → Fill REG-01 form with business details, address, bank account, directors/partners, nature of business.
- Upload documents: Upload all required documents in prescribed format (PDF/JPEG, max 1MB each).
- Submit and e-sign: Submit using DSC (companies) or EVC (others) → Application Reference Number (ARN) generated.
