Frequently Asked Questions

Is GST registration mandatory for grant disbursement?

Most government grants above ₹10 lakh require a GSTIN for fund transfer. Even where not mandated, grant committees treat it as a compliance indicator.

What is the threshold for mandatory registration?

Service providers must register once turnover crosses ₹20 lakh per year (₹10 lakh for North-East and hill states). For goods, the threshold is ₹40 lakh in most states.

Can I register voluntarily below the threshold?

Yes — voluntary registration is recommended for startups dealing with large corporates or receiving government grants.

How long does registration take?

Typically 5–7 working days if all documents are in order. It may take longer if a physical site inspection is required.

What are the ongoing compliance obligations?

You must file monthly or quarterly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns. Late filing attracts ₹50 per day (₹20 per day for nil returns).

What documents are required for GST registration?

PAN card, Aadhaar card for OTP-based e-KYC, proof of business registration (Certificate of Incorporation or partnership deed), business address proof (electricity bill or rent agreement), a cancelled cheque or bank statement, and a Digital Signature Certificate for companies and LLPs.

Is there a government fee for GST registration?

No — GST registration carries no government filing fee. Only the professional service fee (if you use an agent or platform) applies.
