Many small businesses are unsure whether they need a GSTIN. Registering too late can mean paying tax, interest and penalties out of your own pocket, so it is worth checking early.

Turnover limits

  • Goods: aggregate turnover above ₹40 lakh in most states
  • Services: aggregate turnover above ₹20 lakh in most states
  • Lower limits apply in special category states

When you must register regardless of turnover

  • You sell goods to customers in another state
  • You sell through e-commerce marketplaces
  • You are liable to pay tax under reverse charge
  • You are a casual taxable person or a non-resident taxable person

Should you register voluntarily?

Registering below the limit can help if your customers are businesses that want to claim input tax credit, or if you buy a lot of taxed inputs. The trade-off is regular return filing, even in months with no sales.
