GST REGISTRATION

What does GST registration entail?
Businesses with a turnover of more than Rs. 40 lakhs* (Rs. 10 lakhs for NE and hill states) must register as a typical taxable person under the GST regime. GST registration is the name of the registration process.

GST registration is required for certain businesses. It is a violation under GST to do business without first registering for GST, and there would be severe penalties if this occurs.
