GST registration: turnover thresholds explained

4 min read Updated this quarter

When registration becomes mandatory for goods, services, e-commerce sellers and special category states.

Standard thresholds

Businesses supplying goods generally must register once aggregate turnover crosses ₹40 lakh in a financial year. For service providers the threshold is ₹20 lakh.

In special category states the thresholds are halved to ₹20 lakh for goods and ₹10 lakh for services.

Compulsory registration regardless of turnover

Inter-state suppliers of goods, e-commerce operators and sellers on marketplaces, casual taxable persons, and those liable under reverse charge must register from day one.

Voluntary registration

Many early-stage businesses register voluntarily to claim input tax credit and to be able to invoice larger corporate customers who insist on a GSTIN.
