What Is GST Registration?

GST Registration is a mandatory tax registration for businesses involved in the supply of goods or services in India under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. It serves as an official recognition that a business is a GST-compliant entity under Indian tax law.

Once registered, a business is legally authorized to collect GST from customers on taxable supplies and is required to deposit the collected tax with the government. GST registration also enables businesses to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on GST paid for purchases, expenses, and inputs used in the course of business, thereby reducing the overall tax burden and avoiding the cascading effect of taxes.
