Opting into composition, CMP-02

What this means, checked by a CA

Composition lets a small business pay a flat 1 percent (5 percent for restaurants, 6 percent for small service providers) on turnover with simple quarterly filing, but you cannot charge GST or claim input credit. We check if it suits you, file CMP-02 before 1 April, reverse credit on stock in ITC-03, and change your bills to bills of supply.
