Broadly, registration is required once aggregate turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services, with lower limits in special category states. Several situations require registration from the first rupee regardless of turnover, so check applicability rather than assuming.

Common triggers include interstate supply of goods, selling through an e-commerce operator, supplies attracting reverse charge, acting as a casual or non-resident taxable person, and businesses that must deduct TDS under GST. Voluntary registration also makes sense when your customers want input credit.

It helps if your buyers are businesses that want input credit, if you are claiming credit on significant purchases, or if marketplaces require a GSTIN. The trade-off is a monthly or quarterly return cycle that starts immediately, including nil returns.

Yes. Nil returns are still mandatory once you hold a GSTIN, and skipping them builds up late fees and can eventually lead to suspension or cancellation of registration.

Most businesses file GSTR-1 for outward supplies and GSTR-3B for the summary and payment, monthly or quarterly under QRMP, plus an annual return. Composition dealers instead file a quarterly statement and an annual return.

It lets small businesses pay tax at a flat rate on turnover with far lighter filings, but you cannot collect tax from customers, cannot claim input credit, and cannot make interstate outward supplies. It suits local B2C businesses, not B2B suppliers or exporters.
