Who needs GST registration?
GST
registration is mandatory for businesses whose turnover exceeds the prescribed
threshold or who fall under specific categories notified by the government. It
also applies to entities involved in interstate supply, e-commerce, or those
required to collect or deduct tax under GST law.
2.
How many days does GST registration
take?
GST registration typically takes 7–10 working days after
submitting all documents correctly. If Aadhaar authentication is done, it may be
approved in 3 working days.
3. What is GSTIN and why is it important?
GSTIN is a 15-digit unique identification number assigned to every registered business, used to identify taxpayers and track GST compliance.
4. How is the GSTIN structured?
GSTIN has 15 alphanumeric characters, digits 3–12 are based on the PAN, and a separate GSTIN is issued for each state where the business operates.
5. What penalties apply for late GST
filing in India?
If GST returns are filed after the due date, a
late fee of ₹50 per day
(₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) may apply. For Nil returns, the fee
is ₹20
per day. In addition, 18% annual interest
can be charged on any unpaid tax amount until payment is completed. Businesses
should file returns on time through GST Portal India
to avoid penalties and compliance issues under Goods
and Services Tax Network.
