Starting a business in India? GST registration is a crucial step to ensure compliance and unlock benefits like input tax credits and enhanced credibility. Here’s a simplified guide to help startups navigate the process seamlessly.
Who Needs GST Registration?
- Businesses with annual turnover exceeding ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for special category states).

Step-by-Step Process

- Apply Online:
- Visit the GST portal (www.gst.gov.in) and fill Form GST REG-01.
