GST Registration
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition in India. GST Registration is the process of obtaining a unique GST Identification Number (GSTIN) from the government for businesses, enabling them to collect and remit GST legally. It is mandatory for businesses with an annual turnover exceeding the threshold limit set by the government.
