What is the turnover limit for GST registration?

₹40 lakh for goods-only suppliers in normal states, ₹20 lakh once you supply services (and in ₹20L special-category states), and ₹10 lakh in the ₹10L special-category states.

Do I need GST if I sell inter-state or on e-commerce?

Generally yes — inter-state supply of goods, supplying through an e-commerce operator, reverse-charge liability and casual/non-resident status require registration regardless of turnover.

Is turnover state-wise or PAN-wide?

Aggregate turnover is computed PAN-India across all your GSTINs, then you register in each state from which you make taxable supplies.

It's an estimate of the general rule; special cases and notifications exist. Confirm your exact position with your CA before registering.

Do I need GST registration?

Check the registration threshold for your state and supply type — and the triggers that make GST registration mandatory whatever your turnover.

State category

What do you supply?

Aggregate turnover (₹/yr)

I make inter-state supplies of goodsI sell through (or run) an e-commerce platform

₹10L states: Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura. ₹20L states: Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telangana, Uttarakhand. Most others are normal states (₹40L goods / ₹20L services).

GST registration

Likely not required yet

You're under the ₹40,00,000.00 threshold — registration is optional unless a mandatory trigger applies.

This is an estimate from the general statutory rule, not tax or legal advice. Rates, thresholds and due dates change by notification and can vary by case. Confirm the exact amount and date with your CA, CS, or lawyer before acting.

How the GST threshold works

You must register once your aggregate turnover in a financial year crosses the threshold: ₹40 lakh for a goods-only supplier in a normal state, ₹20 lakh the moment you supply services (and for special-category ₹20L states), and ₹10 lakh in the ₹10L special-category states.

Some supplies require registration regardless of turnover — inter-state supply of goods, supplying through an e-commerce operator, being liable under reverse charge, or being a casual / non-resident taxable person. Aggregate turnover is computed PAN-India across all your GSTINs. Confirm your exact position with your CA.

A worked example

A consultant in Karnataka (a normal state) supplying services crosses the threshold at ₹20 lakh — not ₹40 lakh, which only applies to a goods-only supplier.
