GST Registration

Obtain your GSTIN (15-digit GST number) — mandatory for businesses above Rs.40L (goods) or Rs.20L (services) turnover, all e-commerce sellers, and inter-state suppliers.

5.0 / 5.0

Overview

GST registration is the process by which a business enrolls on the GST portal and obtains a unique 15-digit GSTIN. Registration is mandatory for businesses with aggregate annual turnover exceeding Rs.40 lakhs for goods suppliers and Rs.20 lakhs for service providers (Rs.20L and Rs.10L respectively for special category states). Certain categories must register regardless of turnover — all e-commerce operators and marketplace sellers, businesses making inter-state supplies, and businesses required to pay under Reverse Charge Mechanism.

GST replaced VAT, Service Tax, Excise Duty, and CST with a unified destination-based tax from July 1, 2017. A valid GSTIN enables a business to collect GST, claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases, and operate seamlessly across all states. Without registration, the business cannot charge GST, cannot claim ITC, and cannot supply to GST-registered B2B buyers who need a vendor GSTIN for their own ITC claims.

Government fee: Nil — GST registration is completely free. Processing time: 3–7 working days. MFiling professional charges: from Rs.1,499 inclusive of document preparation, portal filing, and GSTIN certificate delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate GSTIN for each state where I have a warehouse or office?
Yes. Under GST, each state/UT where a taxable person has a place of business (office, warehouse, factory, showroom) requires a separate GSTIN. The 15-digit GSTIN encodes the state code in the first 2 digits. All state-level GSTINs are linked to the same PAN. MFiling handles multi-state GST registrations as a consolidated service.
Is GST registration required for a startup before they start earning revenue?
Mandatory registration only triggers when actual taxable turnover exceeds the threshold. However, voluntary registration from day one is advisable for businesses making B2B sales (buyers need vendor GSTIN for ITC), businesses requiring ITC on startup expenses, and all e-commerce marketplace sellers (mandatory regardless of turnover).
