Indian GST registration
Businesses providing taxable goods or services in India are required to register for GST, and submit monthly returns. A business must register separately in each state where they are selling – there are 29 Indian states.
GST registration thresholds
Businesses must register if their taxable supplies are in excess of INR 2m. For the North East of India it is INR 1m.
It is possible to apply for a voluntary registration if below the above thresholds.
