Service-specific answers

GST Registration FAQs

Requirements can change with facts, jurisdiction and authority instructions.

Is GST registration free?

The government portal does not charge a basic application fee. Professional assistance, DSC, premises work or notice replies may cost extra.

Do I need GST below the turnover threshold?

Possibly. Some activities trigger compulsory registration, while others may choose voluntary registration. The exact rule depends on facts.

Can one GSTIN cover all India?

GST registration is state-specific. Separate registrations are generally needed for establishments in different states.
