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)
Section 12A/12AB (now 332) registration: full tax exemption for charitable trust
- Facts
- A charitable trust registered under Sec 332, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 12AB) gets 100% exemption on income used for charitable purposes. Additionally, Sec 133 (old Sec 80G) registration allows donors to deduct 50% or 100% of their donation from their taxable income, making fundraising easier.
- Provisions and law
- Income Tax Act 1961, Sec 11, 12A, Sec 12AB, 80G (now 332, 133)
- Analysis
- From April 2021: All trusts must re-register under the new Sec 12AB regime every 5 years. Provisional registration (3 years) given first; regular registration requires 3 years of activity and filing history.
- Conclusion
- Trust deed (registered)
- PAN of trust
- Bank account details of trust
- Activities report (Form 104, old Form 10A)
Registered vs unregistered Will: what's safer
- Facts
- Registration of a Will is not mandatory but strongly advisable. An unregistered Will is equally valid if properly witnessed, but is easier to forge, challenge, or suppress. A registered Will is a public record at the Sub-Registrar's office, cannot be secretly altered, and is harder to challenge in court.
- Provisions and law
- Registration Act 1908, Sec 17 | Indian Succession Act 1925, Sec 63
- Analysis
- Cost of registration: ₹200 stamp duty + Sub-Registrar fee (varies by state, typically ₹100-₹500). Both witnesses must be present at registration.
- Conclusion
- Draft the Will on plain paper (no stamp paper required)
- Testator + 2 witnesses visit Sub-Registrar office together
- Original documents: Aadhaar, PAN, 2 passport photos
- Pay ₹200 stamp duty + registration fee
Professional gamer income: tournaments, streaming, brand deals
- Facts
- Professional gamers have multiple income streams with different tax treatment:
- Provisions and law
- IT Act, Sec 26, 194, 393 (old 28, 115BBJ, 194J) | GST, Sec 9
- Analysis
- Tournament prize money: Sec 115BBJ (now Sec 194 Table Sl. No. 5), 30% flat. TDS deducted by tournament organiser or platform. No deductions allowed. Streaming income (Twitch, YouTube Gaming, donations): Business income, slab rate. Can deduct equipment, internet, gaming PC, setup costs. If above ₹20L: GST registration required. Brand deals / sponsorships: Professional income, 10% TDS by Indian companies. Slab rate tax. GST on service. Coaching / content creation: Professional service, Sec 58 (old Sec 44ADA) presumptive if eligible, or detailed books. GST if above ₹20L.
