What is GST Registration?

Under the Goods and Services Tax (GST), a business must register as a normal taxed person if its sales are more than Rs.40 lakh, Rs.20 lakh, or Rs.10 lakh. The term for this is GST registration.

For some businesses, it is required to sign up for GST. If the organisation does business without being registered with GST, it will be breaking the law and will have to pay heavy fines.

Usually, it takes between 2 and 6 working days to register for GST.
