What Are the Features of a GST Registration Number?

The following features will help you to understand the criteria for GST registration number and other associated facts:

  • GST registration completely depends on PAN.
  • States falling under the normal category must take GST number if business turnover in the previous financial year is above ₹40 lakhs in case of supply of goods and ₹20 lakhs for supply of services.
  • Companies with a turnover of more than ₹20 lakhs are also entitled to take the GST registration number. This applies to states belonging to a special category.
  • It is mandatory for suppliers to take registration for all the states where they supply the goods.
  • This taxation system prevents businesses from several compliances that were mandatory to adhere to previously.

However, all business entities should obtain GST registration to operate in a hassle-free manner, even if the turnover is below the mentioned sum of money.
