Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

GST registration is mandatory when your aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs.40 lakh (for goods suppliers) or Rs.20 lakh (for service providers) — Rs.10 lakh in special category states. However, certain businesses must register regardless of turnover: inter-state suppliers, e-commerce operators and sellers, businesses liable to pay GST under reverse charge mechanism, and those required to deduct TDS under GST.

A standard GST registration without any department queries is issued within 7 working days of a complete application. If the officer raises a query under GST REG-03, you have 7 working days to respond, after which the officer has 7 working days to issue the registration or reject it. Ensure all documents are clear, correctly formatted, and complete to avoid delays.

PAN of the business entity, Aadhaar of the proprietor/partners/directors, proof of business registration (Certificate of Incorporation, Partnership Deed, etc.), proof of principal place of business (utility bill or rent agreement), bank account proof (cancelled cheque or bank statement), digital signature of authorised signatory, and photograph of proprietor/key management personnel.

Yes. Voluntary GST registration is permitted even if your turnover is below the mandatory threshold. The advantage is that you can claim Input Tax Credit on your purchases and your GST-registered clients can claim ITC on payments made to you. Once registered voluntarily, you must file returns and comply with all GST obligations even in nil-turnover months.

If your GST was cancelled at your own request, revocation is not possible — you would need to apply for fresh registration. If it was cancelled suo motu by the department (for non-filing of returns), you can apply for revocation under CGST Rule 23 within 90 days of the cancellation order, or within extended periods notified by the government. You must file all pending returns and pay all dues before the revocation application.
