Frequently Asked Questions

Official rules governing GST registration thresholds in India.

What is the GST registration threshold for service providers?

For businesses supplying services (software, consulting, marketing, freelancing), the mandatory registration threshold is ₹20 Lakhs in normal states and ₹10 Lakhs in Special Category States. The ₹40 Lakh threshold applies strictly to exclusive suppliers of goods.

Can I sell inter-state without GST registration?

Under Notification No. 10/2017-Integrated Tax, service providers whose aggregate turnover does not exceed ₹20 Lakhs (₹10 Lakhs in special states) are exempted from mandatory registration even if they provide inter-state services. However, suppliers of goods making inter-state taxable supplies must mandatorily register under Section 24(i).

Is voluntary GST registration allowed if turnover is below the limit?

Yes. Any business or freelancer can voluntarily obtain GST registration under Section 25(3). Benefits include claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on computers, office rent, and business purchases, issuing valid B2B tax invoices, and qualifying for government tenders.
