GST (Goods and Services Tax)** is an indirect tax charged on the supply of goods and services. If you are starting a business in Bangalore and your turnover crosses the applicable GST registration limit, you may be required to obtain GST Registration.
For many businesses in Karnataka, the general threshold is ₹20 lakh for services and ₹40 lakh for eligible businesses dealing primarily in goods**, subject to the applicable GST rules and conditions.
Once GST registration is completed, the business receives a unique 15-digit GST Number (GSTIN).

GST Registration Process in Bangalore
The GST registration application is filed online through the official GST Portal.
During the GST registration process, multiple OTP verifications may be required for the registered mobile number and email ID. Aadhaar authentication may also be required depending on the applicant and applicable registration process.
After submitting the application and completing the required verification, an Application Reference Number (ARN) is generated.
For eligible applications where the prescribed conditions for automated registration are satisfied, GST registration may be granted without detailed officer verification. In other cases, the application may be referred to the GST officer for verification of documents and business details.
If the GST officer raises a clarification or asks for additional documents, the applicant needs to respond within the prescribed time.
#Regular GST Registration and Composition Scheme
There are different types of GST registration and taxation options depending on the nature and eligibility of the business.
Under Regular GST Registration, the business generally collects GST from customers, files the applicable GST returns and can claim eligible Input Tax Credit (ITC) subject to GST rules.
Eligible small businesses may also consider the Composition Scheme, subject to the applicable conditions and restrictions. The taxation and compliance requirements under the Composition Scheme are different from regular GST registration.
