GST Registration
GST registration is a mandatory tax registration for businesses under the GST Act, 2017, that unifies India's indirect taxes into one system. Once registered, a business gets a unique GSTIN, can legally collect GST from customers, and can claim input tax credit on purchases. It's required based on turnover and business type, and non-compliance can lead to penalties.
