Chartered Accountant in Kondapur offering GST Registration

A founder in Kondapur starts supplying software services to clients across India and wonders whether a GST number is needed now or later. This is one of the most common questions we hear from businesses around Kondapur, HITEC City and Kothaguda.

Short answer: GST registration is required once your aggregate turnover crosses the threshold prescribed under Section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017, and in some cases irrespective of turnover under Section 24. For Telangana, the usual thresholds are Rs 40 lakh for suppliers of goods and Rs 20 lakh for suppliers of services (confirm current notifications on the GST Portal).

When is GST registration mandatory?

• Aggregate turnover above the prescribed threshold for goods or services in the financial year.
• Inter-State supply of services (generally needs registration, subject to exemptions notified from time to time).
• Persons who supply through e-commerce operators, or who operate e-commerce platforms, in the cases covered by Section 24.
• Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons.
• Persons liable to pay tax under reverse charge, and input service distributors, as per the Act.

Can you register voluntarily?

Yes. Section 25(3) allows voluntary registration even below the threshold. Many Kondapur start-ups do this to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on purchases and to deal with larger business customers who expect a GSTIN on invoices. Once registered, you must file returns and follow all compliance rules, even if turnover is low.

Documents usually required

• PAN of the proprietor, partners or company.
• Aadhaar of the proprietor or authorised signatory, where applicable.
• Passport-size photograph of promoters or partners.
• Proof of the business address in Kondapur: rent agreement with the owner’s consent letter, or ownership proof, plus a recent electricity bill or property tax receipt.
• Bank account proof such as a cancelled cheque or statement.
• Certificate of incorporation or partnership deed for companies, LLPs and firms.
• Digital signature or e-verification details of the authorised signatory.

Step-by-step registration process

1. Open the GST Portal and fill Part A of Form GST REG-01 with PAN, mobile number and email; verify through OTP.
2. Receive a Temporary Reference Number (TRN) and log in to fill Part B.
3. Enter business details, principal place of business, bank details and authorised signatory, and upload documents.
4. Verify the application using Aadhaar authentication, e-signature or DSC as applicable.
5. Track the Application Reference Number (ARN). If the officer raises a query, respond through the notice form within the time given.
6. On approval, the GSTIN and registration certificate are issued. Under the rules this is generally within a few working days when the application is complete (confirm).

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using an address that does not match the documents uploaded.
• Choosing the wrong business activity or HSN/SAC details.
• Ignoring query notices from the department, which can lead to rejection.
• Not tracking turnover and crossing the threshold without applying on time.
• Registering but then missing the first return deadlines.

After you get your GSTIN

Display the registration certificate and GSTIN at your place of business, issue proper tax invoices, and begin filing returns on time. Late filing attracts late fees and interest under the CGST Act.
