  • 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)

  • 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

  • GSTR-2A / 2B mismatch notices: ITC reversal demands
    Facts
    The most common GST notice: your GSTR-2B shows less ITC than what you claimed in GSTR-3B. Reasons: vendor didn't file GSTR-1, vendor filed after your return date, invoice uploaded incorrectly.
    Provisions and law
    CGST Act, Sec 16(2)(aa), 16(4) | Rule 36(4)
    Analysis
    Sec 16(2)(aa): ITC is available only on invoices appearing in GSTR-2B. If not in GSTR-2B, ITC must be reversed with interest (18% per annum). Defence: Get vendor to file/amend their GSTR-1. Once vendor files, the invoice appears in your GSTR-2B and ITC can be claimed. Chasing vendors is now a mandatory compliance activity.
