Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive indirect tax
levied on the supply of goods and services in India. GST
registration is a mandatory requirement for businesses whose
turnover exceeds the prescribed limit, as per the GST Act. It
is an essential process for businesses to operate legally and
avoid penalties. GST registration helps businesses become part
of the GST network, ensuring that they can collect tax from
customers and claim input tax credit (ITC) for taxes paid on
business-related purchases.
GST registration is the process by which a business gets
registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. Upon
successful registration, the business is issued a GSTIN (GST
Identification Number), which serves as a unique
identification for the entity and is required for invoicing,
filing GST returns, and claiming input tax credit. GST
registration is mandatory for businesses involved in the
supply of goods and services above a specified turnover limit.
