TaxSastra

GST Registration Online in India

GST registration gives your business a GSTIN — the identity that lets you legally collect GST, claim input tax credit, and trade with larger customers. For some businesses it's mandatory; for others it's a strategic choice.

Registering late can be expensive: you may have to pay GST from your own pocket for the unregistered period, with interest and penalty. Knowing exactly when it applies is the first step.

Key features and requirements

  • Turnover above ₹40 lakh (goods) or ₹20 lakh (services) in most states — lower in special category states
  • Immediately, regardless of turnover, for inter-state supply of goods, e-commerce sellers, casual/non-resident taxable persons, and reverse-charge cases
  • Apply within 30 days of becoming liable
  • Filed in Form REG-01 with Aadhaar authentication; GSTIN issued in Form REG-06
  • Non-registration penalty: 10% of tax due (min ₹10,000), or 100% for deliberate evasion
