It was introduced as a step to eliminate the need for double taxation in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GST stands for <strong>Goods and Services Tax<\/strong>. Launched on 1st July 2017, it is an indirect, value-added&nbsp;tax&nbsp;imposed on almost all goods and services that are available for domestic consumption. All businesses under the taxable category of the GST regime are liable to do&nbsp;online registration&nbsp;of GST and obtain GSTIN.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per the GST regime, any business that exceeds a turnover of Rs 40 lakh is considered a taxable entity. The maximum turnover limit for businesses functioning in the North-Eastern states and those present in hill states is Rs 10 lakh. There are exceptions and GST registration is mandatory for certain businesses. Failing to do the GST registration is considered as an offense and non-registration will lead to hefty levies.&nbsp;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online registration&nbsp;of GST can be done using the GST portal. Generally, it takes 2-6 days to complete the GST registration process. Here is a guide to doing GST&nbsp;online registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a
