Questions, answered the CA way
Facts, Provisions and law, Analysis, Conclusion.
GST Mandatory Registration: Threshold and Triggers
- Facts
- Registration is the foundation of GST compliance. Miss the threshold, delay beyond 30 days, or supply inter-state without registration, penalty is 100% of tax or ₹10,000. Most small business owners discover the obligation only after a notice.
- Provisions and law
- Sec 22(1); Sec 24; Sec 29(2); Sec 122(1); Rule 8, 9
- Analysis
- Aggregate turnover definition: All taxable + exempt + zero-rated + nil-rated supplies on PAN-India basis. Excludes inward supplies under reverse charge. Includes multiple GSTINs under same PAN. A single person with businesses in Delhi and Mumbai: add both states' turnover for threshold check. Special category states (lower threshold): Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, J&K: ₹10L for services, ₹20L for goods. Inter-state, no threshold: The moment a supplier makes even ONE inter-state supply, say a Delhi freelancer invoices a client in Mumbai, registration is mandatory regardless of annual turnover. This is the most commonly missed trigger. Selling on Amazon to customers in another state = inter-state.
- Conclusion
- Calculate aggregate turnover for current FY: all supplies across all states, all businesses under same PAN
- Check: any inter-state supply made? (Even one invoice to another state = registration mandatory)
- Check: are you selling on Amazon/Flipkart/Meesho? (E-commerce aggregator = mandatory registration)
- Check: do you purchase from unregistered suppliers above ₹5,000/day? (RCM may apply)
Stripe / PayPal / Razorpay: payment processor tax compliance
- Facts
- Payment processors are now a significant IT department data source. Stripe India reports all merchant settlements above thresholds to the IT department via SFT. PayPal India settlements appear in AIS.
- Provisions and law
- FEMA, Payment and Settlement Systems Act | IT Act, Sec 102 (old 68)
- Analysis
- Stripe Atlas / foreign Stripe: If you're collecting USD through a foreign Stripe entity (US or EU), and then repatriating to India, FEMA compliance is required. The income is taxable in India (you're a resident). Bring it in through official banking channels with proper FIRC. Razorpay settlements: Indian platform. All settlements reportable. If you have significant Razorpay volume (₹10L+/year) and it's not in your ITR, you will get a notice.
GSTR-1: Outward Supplies Return (Due 11th)
- Facts
- GSTR-1 is the source of truth for the GST system. It feeds your customers' GSTR-2B, which they use to claim ITC. File it wrong or late, your customers lose ITC credit, they call you, you lose the client. Every B2B invoice must be declared invoice-by-invoice.
- Provisions and law
- Sec 37; Rule 59; Sec 37(3); Rule 59(6); Notification 89/2020
- Analysis
- What goes in GSTR-1 table by table: Table 4A: B2B invoices (every invoice to a GSTIN holder, must have buyer's GSTIN, invoice number, date, taxable value, GST amount). Table 5: B2C interstate invoices above ₹2.5L (state-wise). Table 6: Exports, type of export, shipping bill number if zero-rated. Table 7: B2C supplies (domestic, below ₹2.5L interstate or any intrastate). Table 8: Nil-rated/exempt/non-GST supplies. Table 9/10: Amendments to previous months' invoices. Table 11: Advances received. HSN summary (Table 12): If turnover above ₹5Cr: 6-digit HSN mandatory. ₹1.5Cr to ₹5Cr: 4-digit HSN. Below ₹1.5Cr: 2-digit HSN. From FY 2021-22: all B2B invoices must carry HSN/SAC code. Wrong HSN = input GSTR-2B data for buyer is wrong → buyer's ITC is blocked. Why GSTR-1 accuracy matters for your client: Every B2B invoice you declare in GSTR-1 flows into your buyer's GSTR-2B automatically.
- Conclusion
- Compile all outward invoices for the month: B2B (with buyer GSTIN), B2C, exports, debit/credit notes
- Verify every B2B invoice has: correct buyer GSTIN, correct invoice number/date, correct HSN/SAC, correct tax amount
- Check: any amendments needed to previous months' invoices? Declare in Table 9/10
- Check: any exports in the month? Attach shipping bill number and Bill of Lading details
The 7 patterns that generate 80% of all notices
- Facts
- 1. AIS not reconciled before filing: Annual Information Statement has 50+ data categories. Any item in AIS not in your ITR = guaranteed notice. Download AIS before filing every year.
- Provisions and law
- AIS (Sec 285BB, now 510) | SFT (Sec 285BA) | GSTR-2B | 26AS (now Form 168)
- Analysis
- 2. TDS mismatch: Your Form 16 (now Form 130) shows ₹2L TDS but 26AS (now Form 168) shows ₹1.9L deposited. File ITR with 26AS (now Form 168) figures, not Form 16 (now Form 130), and follow up with employer to correct the mismatch. 3. High-value cash deposits: ₹10L+ in savings account in a year gets reported via SFT. If you can't explain the source with documented income, you'll get a notice. 4. GSTR-2B not reconciled: Claiming more ITC than GSTR-2B shows = ITC reversal notice + 18% interest. 5. Capital gains not reported: MF redemptions, stock sales, property sale, all reported via SFT. Missing these = notice. Include all in Schedule CG. 6. Rental income not declared: Bank SFT now catches rent payments above ₹50K/month. Tenants' AIS shows rent paid. Your AIS shows rent received. If it's not in your ITR, you get a notice. 7. Cash transactions above ₹2L: Sec 269ST. Receiver of ₹2L+ cash in one transaction faces 100% penalty on the amount.
