GST Registration Limit: Turnover Thresholds
Last updated: 2 July 2026 · 6 min read
Whether you must register for GST depends on your turnover, what you supply, your state, and a few mandatory triggers.
Threshold limits
| Case | Goods | Services |
|---|---|---|
| Normal states | ₹40 lakh | ₹20 lakh |
| Special category states | ₹20 lakh | ₹10 lakh |
| Assam & J&K (opted higher) | ₹40 lakh | ₹20 lakh |
Mandatory registration regardless of turnover
Some situations require registration even below the threshold — for example, making inter-state taxable supplies of goods, being an e-commerce operator or supplier through one, casual or non-resident taxable persons, and those liable to pay tax under reverse charge. Check your case with the registration eligibility checker.
Voluntary registration
Even below the limit, you can register voluntarily — useful if you want to claim input tax credit or your buyers require a GST invoice.
