What is GST Registration?
GST registration gives your business a GST Identification Number (GSTIN), allowing you to collect GST, claim input tax credit and sell across India and on e-commerce platforms. Even businesses below the threshold often register voluntarily to work with larger clients. Choosing the right scheme (regular or composition) and filing an error-free application avoids rejection and queries. TaxBucket handles the complete GST registration and the ongoing GST return filing.

Frequently asked questions
Is GST registration free?
Yes. The government does not charge any fee for GST registration.
Can I get GST registration without a shop or office?
Yes. You can register using your residential address with proper address proof.
What is the composition scheme?
It is a simplified scheme for small taxpayers with turnover up to Rs 1.5 crore (Rs 50 lakh for most service providers), who pay tax at a lower fixed rate but cannot claim input tax credit or collect GST from customers.
What happens if I do not file returns after taking GST registration?
Late fees and interest apply, and continuous non-filing can lead to suspension or cancellation of your GSTIN.
