GST Registration: How to Register for GST Online in 12 Simple Steps

Based on the Annual Aggregate Turnover, a business decides whether to sign up for GST and which GST returns to file (AATO).

India has become a major centre for Startups and SMBs in the past few years. In the last two financial years, India has kept its place as the third largest base for Startups. The country is home to more than 4,750 Tech-Startups. With programmes like “Startup India” and “Make in India,” the government of India is doing everything it can to help businesses grow.

But since the government helps and supports these businesses, they must also pay taxes to the government. So, under GST, any dealer in India whose annual sales are more than Rs 40 lakh (or Rs 20 lakh in states in a special category) needs to sign up.
