GST Registration Requirements for Service Providers

For service providers in India, GST registration becomes mandatory once the aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds INR 20 Lakhs (INR 10 Lakhs for special category states). However, making any inter-state supply of taxable services triggers mandatory registration regardless of turnover, subject to minor exemptions. Service providers operating from major commercial hubs, such as Janakpuri District Centre in Delhi or Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, must maintain precise books of account showing CGST, SGST, and IGST allocations.
