Register for GST
Businesses whose aggregate turnover crosses the threshold must register for GST: generally ₹40 lakh for goods suppliers and ₹20 lakh for service providers, with lower limits in some special-category states. Some businesses (such as inter-state suppliers and e-commerce sellers) must register regardless of turnover. Registration is free and online.
