Choosing composition in a new GST registration

Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.

Find

Yes. A new applicant can choose composition in the registration application REG-01 itself. The scheme then applies from the effective date of registration.

Provisions

Rule 3, CGST Rules 2017; Sec 10(1), CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Example: a new bakery in Lucknow applies in June and ticks the composition option in REG-01. It pays 1 percent or 5 percent, depending on whether it is a manufacturer or a restaurant, from the registration date. Choose carefully: if you will sell to registered businesses who want ITC, or to other States, composition is not a good fit.
