What is GST Registration?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a unified indirect tax system introduced in India in 2017. Any business whose aggregate turnover exceeds the threshold limit (₹40 lakhs for goods, ₹20 lakhs for services in most states) is mandated to register under GST. Even those below the threshold can voluntarily register for input tax credit and better compliance.
