GST registration
New GSTIN for a shop, a freelancer, a contractor or an online seller — including Aadhaar authentication and the officer's follow-up queries.
Registration is triggered by turnover, and then by half a dozen things that have nothing to do with turnover.
The turnover tests, in most of the country, are ₹40 lakh for suppliers of goods and ₹20 lakh for suppliers of services. A handful of special-category states sit at half those figures, so the first thing we check is which threshold your state actually uses.
Threshold is not the only trigger. You must register regardless of turnover if you make inter-state supplies of goods, sell through an e-commerce operator, are liable to pay under reverse charge, or act as an agent for someone else. Exporters of services frequently register voluntarily, because a zero-rated supply is only worth making if you can claim the credit behind it.
We do the whole application: the right constitution and business-activity codes, place-of-business proof that officers accept, Aadhaar authentication, and the reply if the officer raises a query or orders a physical verification.

Questions
About gst registration
The things people ask us before they start.
Which threshold applies to me?
It depends on what you supply and where you are registered. Most states use ₹40 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services; the special-category states use the lower set. Tell us your state and your line of business and we will give you the figure that actually applies, not the average.
I am a freelancer billing clients abroad. Do I need GST?
Export of services is zero-rated, not exempt, and the ₹20 lakh threshold counts your total turnover including exports. Many freelancers cross it without noticing. Registering also lets you claim refunds under a LUT rather than paying tax and waiting.
How long does physical verification take?
Where the officer orders it, expect an extra 7–15 days. Keeping a signboard, the rent agreement and the electricity bill matched to the application address is the single best way to avoid it.
