Goods and Services Tax (GST) is one of the most significant reforms in India’s taxation system, replacing a complex network of indirect taxes such as VAT, service tax, excise duty, and others with a single, unified tax. Introduced in July 2017, GST simplifies tax compliance, promotes transparency, and ensures a seamless flow of goods and services across state borders. For any business operating in India, GST registration is the first step toward legal compliance and unlocking growth opportunities.

At B.Samrish & Co., we understand that taxation can seem overwhelming, especially for startups and SMEs. Our goal is to make the GST registration in India smooth, accurate, and hassle-free, so you can focus on growing your business.

Who Needs GST Registration in India?

GST registration is mandatory for certain categories of taxpayers under Indian law. You must register if you fall into one of these categories:

1. Turnover Threshold – Businesses whose aggregate turnover exceeds:
   
   

   1. ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh for certain special category states).
      
      

   2. ₹20 lakh for services (₹10 lakh in special category states).
      
      

2. Inter-State Transactions – Any business making supplies of goods or services across state borders.
   
   

3. E-commerce Operators & Sellers – If you sell on platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, or your own e-commerce website.
   
   

4. Reverse Charge Mechanism – If you are required to pay GST under reverse charge for certain transactions.
   
   

5. Casual & Non-Resident Taxable Persons – Businesses that operate temporarily in a state or foreign entities supplying goods/services in India.
   
   

Benefits of GST Registration in India

Registering under GST offers several benefits beyond just legal compliance:

1. Nationwide Market Access – No need for multiple state tax registrations; operate anywhere in India.
