Do I need GST registration? Threshold and compulsory registration check

What this means, checked by a CA

We check whether you must take a GST number: your turnover against the ₹40 lakh, ₹20 lakh or ₹10 lakh limit, and the cases where registration is compulsory at any turnover, such as inter-State sales or selling through Amazon or Flipkart. You get a clear yes, no or optional answer, with the date from which you become liable.
