⚡ Short answerGST registration is mandatory once aggregate annual turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services (₹20 lakh and ₹10 lakh respectively in special-category states). Registration is also compulsory — regardless of turnover — for inter-state suppliers, e-commerce sellers, and those liable under reverse charge. Voluntary registration is allowed below the limit.

The thresholds

₹40 lakh turnover for a supplier of goods, ₹20 lakh for services, in most states. Special-category and north-eastern states have lower limits. 'Aggregate turnover' is computed PAN-wide across all your registrations.

Compulsory registration regardless of turnover

If you make inter-state taxable supplies, sell through an e-commerce operator, are liable to pay tax under reverse charge, or are a casual/non-resident taxable person, you must register even below the threshold.
