GST registration is a mandatory process for businesses to collect and remit Goods and Services Tax to the government. Once registered, a business receives a unique GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) that must be quoted on invoices and tax returns.

Key Points:

• GST registration is required for businesses with turnover exceeding ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for some states).
• It applies to manufacturers, service providers, and traders.
• Without GST registration, businesses cannot legally collect GST from customers.

Benefits of GST Registration

Registering under GST brings multiple advantages to businesses:

1. Legally collect GST from customers.
2. Claim input tax credit on purchases.
3. Expand your business by selling across India without restrictions.
4. Boost business credibility with suppliers and clients.
5. Avoid penalties and legal complications from tax authorities.

Pro Tip: A GST-registered business is more trustworthy and preferred for B2B transactions.
