What is the turnover limit for GST registration?

Short answerThe limit is ₹40 lakh annual turnover for a goods supplier (₹20 lakh in special-category states) and ₹20 lakh for a service provider (₹10 lakh in some special-category states). Cross it and registration is mandatory; some businesses must register even below it.

Goods vs services

Goods suppliers: ₹40 lakh. Service providers: ₹20 lakh. Special-category states have lower limits. Turnover is measured PAN-wide across India.

Below the limit but still required

If you supply inter-state, sell online, or are liable under reverse charge, you must register even under the threshold. Confirm current limits.
