According to the GST Regime, businesses or business owners whose turnover exceeds Rs. 40 lakhs are required to register under GST as a normal taxable person. Additionally, the GST Registration Threshold Limits for Services operated in North-Eastern (NE) and hill states are Rs. 10 lakhs. The process of registration under the GST Regime is called GST registration<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is mandatory to register under\u00a0GST<\/strong> for almost all businesses. If the company or business carries on business activities without registering under GST, it is considered an offence as per the GST rules and heavy penalties will be levied. There have been no changes to the threshold limits for service providers. Individuals providing services must register if their aggregate turnover exceeds Rs. 20 lakh (for normal category states) and Rs. 10 lakh (for special category states).<\/span><\/p>\n

The GST Council has doubled the GST Exemption Limit from payment of goods and services tax (GST) to Rs 40 lakh. Earlier, it was Rs. 20 lakh. Also, for the northeastern states, the exemption limit has been increased to Rs 20 lakh from Rs 10 lakh.<\/p>\n

Businesses must register for GST once they cross the threshold limit<\/strong><\/a> prescribed by the GST Council. Currently, the turnover threshold for goods suppliers is \u20b940 lakhs in most states, while service providers must register once their turnover exceeds \u20b920 lakhs.<\/p>\n

Goods Registration Threshold Limit<\/h2>\n

For Normal Taxpayer<\/h3>\n

The threshold limit for the supplier of goods was Rs. 20 lakhs under the original GST regime, as declared by the government in July 2017. To make it more straightforward, suppliers or dealers of goods whose annual turnover is up to Rs 20 Lakhs are not required to register under the GST regime. Therefore, suppliers or dealers of goods with a threshold turnover of Rs 20 Lakhs and above are required to register under GST compulsorily. This exemption threshold annual limit, however, has been doubled in the 32nd GST Council meeting from Rs. 20 lakhs to 40 lakhs.<\/span>
