The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been a revolutionary reform in India's indirect tax system, simplifying tax compliance and promoting transparency. As we step into 2025, understanding the GST registration requirements, process, and updated compliances is critical for entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses alike.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through who needs GST registration, how to register online, and the latest updates you must be aware of in 2025.
✅ Who Needs GST Registration in India?
As per the GST Act, the following entities are mandatorily required to obtain GST registration:
Businesses with Annual Turnover:
₹40 lakhs for goods (₹20 lakhs for NE & hill states)
₹20 lakhs for services (₹10 lakhs for NE & hill states)
Interstate Suppliers – Supplying goods/services across states
E-commerce Sellers – Selling through platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.
