Stay GST-compliant and grow your business seamlessly with expert assistance from India Fills!
🔍 What is GST Registration?
GST Registration is a mandatory legal requirement for businesses and professionals in India who exceed specified turnover limits. Upon registration, a business receives a 15-digit Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) — enabling it to:
- Legally collect GST from customers
- Claim Input Tax Credit (ITC)
- File returns and stay compliant with the GST framework
Whether it’s mandatory or voluntary, India Fills ensures your registration is quick, hassle-free, and 100% online.
🌐 Overview of GST in India
Introduced on 1st July 2017, GST has unified several indirect taxes like VAT, Service Tax, and Excise Duty into one comprehensive tax. It applies to:
- Manufacturers
- Traders
- Service Providers
- Freelancers
- E-commerce Sellers
📊 Composition Scheme
Businesses with an annual turnover of less than ₹1.5 crore can opt for the GST Composition Scheme, which offers:
- Lower tax rates
- Minimal compliance
- Quarterly filings
✅ Note: GST is a destination-based tax. So, if a product is manufactured in Maharashtra and sold in Gujarat, the GST goes to Gujarat (the place of consumption).
🧱 Components of GST
GST in India is divided into three major components:
- CGST (Central GST): Collected by the Central Government on intra-state sales
- SGST (State GST): Collected by the State Government on intra-state sales
- IGST (Integrated GST): Collected by the Central Government on inter-state sales
👥 Who Needs GST Registration?
GST registration is mandatory for the following entities:
- Businesses with turnover over ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for special category states)
- Service providers with turnover over ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs in special states)

- Agents representing taxable suppliers
- Casual taxable persons
