Definition of Goods & Service Act 2017

GST Registration in India

GST is an indirect tax that is charged on the supply of goods and services in a country. It replaces multiple old taxes like VAT, Service Tax, Excise Duty, etc., and combines them into one single tax system.

GST registration is an important compliance requirement for businesses operating in India. Any business with an annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakh (or ₹20 lakh in notified special category states) is required to register under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. After successful registration, the business is allotted a 15-digit Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) by the tax authorities.
