GST Registration
GST Registration is a vital process for businesses in India, ensuring they comply with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations. Since its introduction on 1 July 2017, GST has replaced various Central and state-level taxes such as Service Tax, Excise Duty, CST, Entertainment Tax, Luxury Tax, and VAT, making the tax process more streamlined.
GST Registration India Online with Bharat E-Filing
At Bharat E-Filing, we make GST registration simple, fast, and hassle-free for businesses, traders, manufacturers, service providers, and freelancers across India.
GST applies at every stage of the supply chain, from raw material procurement to manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and final sale. As a destination-based tax, GST revenue is collected by the state where the goods or services are consumed. For example, if a product is manufactured in Gujarat and sold in Tamil Nadu, the GST collected is allocated to Tamil Nadu, reflecting the consumption-based nature of GST.
Businesses with an annual turnover below ₹1.5 crore can opt for the Composition Scheme, which provides a simplified tax structure with a fixed tax rate on turnover.
With Bharat E-Filing, you can register for GST online effortlessly and ensure full compliance with expert support. Start your GST registration today!
GST Registration Eligibility and Threshold Limits
To qualify for GST registration, certain eligibility criteria must be met. It is essential for individuals and businesses previously registered under the pre-GST laws to transition to GST registration. Specifically, businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakhs in normal category states and ₹20 lakhs in special category states are required to register. If a company’s annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs, it must register as a regular taxable entity under the GST law. The GST council also plays a crucial role in recommending GST rates, tax exemptions, and other related policies. Below is a comprehensive outline of the eligibility and threshold limits for GST registration.

Who is Required to Register for GST?
In India, businesses must be mindful of the turnover limits set for GST registration. If a company’s annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs for goods or ₹20 lakhs for services, it is required to register for GST and adhere to tax obligations related to its taxable goods and services.
While registration is not mandatory for businesses with annual revenue below ₹40 lakhs, opting for GST registration can be advantageous. By doing so, these businesses can access the benefits of input tax credit, which can significantly enhance their financial efficiency.
Additionally, it’s important to recognize that special category states have distinct minimum thresholds. In these regions, the threshold for services is set at ₹10 lakhs, while for goods, it stands at ₹20 lakhs. Understanding these parameters is crucial for businesses to navigate the GST landscape effectively.
