Do I need to register for GST?

Short answerYou need GST registration once your turnover crosses the threshold — ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh in special-category states) and ₹20 lakh for services. You also need it regardless of turnover if you sell inter-state, sell through an e-commerce platform, or fall under reverse charge.

Threshold-based

Goods: ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh special states). Services: ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh some special states). Confirm your state’s limit.

Compulsory regardless of turnover

Inter-state supply, selling on e-commerce platforms, casual/non-resident supply, and reverse-charge liability all need registration from the start.
