Registration guide
Registration depends on aggregate turnover, supply type and location, and compulsory-registration provisions. The general threshold commonly applicable in West Bengal is ₹40 lakh for persons exclusively supplying goods (subject to conditions) and ₹20 lakh for services. Exceptions can require registration earlier.
Do not rely on turnover alone. Compulsory-registration provisions and special rules may apply. A business operating from more than one state generally needs separate registration in each relevant state.
