GST Registration Guide

GST registration for a business in India is filed on gst.gov.in. Thresholds (turnover, interstate supply, e-commerce) are in the GST Acts and notifications — they change, so this guide will not invent a current rupee threshold as if it were frozen. IndiaKit will not ask for PAN, Aadhaar, or OTP. The GSTIN tool on this site only checks format.

A sketch, then the official portal

Freelance designers in Jaipur and traders in Moradabad get pushed into paid “registration packages” that are just the same gst.gov.in form. A unique article that refuses to collect PAN is the honest version.

Where the figure comes from

Create a login on gst.gov.in, complete the registration form the portal currently shows, and watch for TRN / ARN as GSTN designed. Use a CA if your facts are messy; do not use a random Telegram helper.

Composition versus regular is a legal choice with turnover and supply-type limits. Read CBIC / gst.gov.in, not a reel.

After you have a GSTIN, validate structure on our GSTIN page if you want, then verify the dealer on the official search.

A Jaipur freelancer opening gst.gov.in

She suspects she may need GST because of interstate invoices. She reads the threshold language on gst.gov.in / CBIC and files only there. IndiaKit never sees her PAN.

We never ask for identity numbers

Guide only. Official: gst.gov.in. No PAN/Aadhaar/OTP. Thresholds and documents are as notified — confirm on the portal. Indicative discussion, not a legal opinion.

GST registration is triggered by turnover thresholds, interstate supply, and a few mandatory categories. The application, Aadhaar authentication, and GSTIN issuance happen on gst.gov.in.

IndiaKit’s GSTIN tool only validates format. It cannot tell you if a GSTIN is active. It cannot file GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B. Do not paste bank statements or Aadhaar into our forms.

Composition scheme, e-invoicing thresholds and QRMP are policy choices with current turnover limits — confirm them on the GST portal or with a GST practitioner for your year.

Common questions

What is the turnover threshold this year?

I will not freeze a rupee figure that Parliament or the GST Council may have changed. Read the current notification on gst.gov.in or cbic.gov.in.

Can you file GSTR-1 here?

No. Filing is on gst.gov.in only.

Is Udyam the same as GST?

No. Udyam is MSME registration on the Udyam portal. GST is a tax registration on gst.gov.in. You might hold both; they are not substitutes.
