GST registration is done online through the GST portal. Required documents include PAN, proof of business registration, address proof, photographs and bank details. Registration is mandatory for suppliers of goods once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh in special category states), and for service providers once it crosses ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states). Certain categories - inter-state suppliers, e-commerce sellers and persons liable under reverse charge - must register from the first rupee under Section 24. Registration is done on the GST portal; once you are registered, BizBharat Pro helps with invoicing and return data.

E-way bill is required for goods valued above ₹50,000 being transported. Generate it on the e-way bill portal using GSTIN, invoice details, and transporter details. The bill must be carried during transit.

GST replaced multiple indirect taxes (VAT, service tax, excise duty) with a unified tax structure. GST is multi-stage, destination-based tax applicable throughout India, while VAT was only for goods and varied by state. GST has a broader tax base with input tax credit availability. BizBharat Pro's GST invoicing solution helps businesses transition from legacy systems to GST compliance with minimal disruption.

To reduce GST compliance burden, maintain proper documentation, file returns on time, use automation tools, and stay updated with GST laws. Regular reconciliation of GSTR-3B with GSTR-2A/2B helps identify discrepancies early. BizBharat Pro's GST software calculates tax on every invoice and prepares GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data, reducing the compliance workload for small business owners.

GST refunds can be claimed for excess tax paid, unutilized ITC, or exports. File refund application Form RFD-01 within 2 years from the relevant date. Required documents include tax invoices, shipping bills, and proof of export. For export refunds, apply under both IGST and bond/letter of undertaking schemes. The refund process is now largely automated with provisional refunds processed quickly.

If you receive a GST notice, first understand the reason through the GST portal. Respond within the specified timeframe (usually 30 days) with proper documentation and explanation. For minor issues, self-correction may be possible. For serious matters, consult a GST practitioner. Maintain proper records of all communications. BizBharat Pro keeps every invoice and purchase entry in one place, so the records a notice asks for are easy to find.

The compulsory GST audit and CA certification were removed from FY 2020-21 onwards. What applies now: GSTR-9, the annual return, is mandatory if aggregate turnover exceeds ₹2 crore in a financial year, and GSTR-9C, the reconciliation statement, is required if turnover exceeds ₹5 crore - it is self-certified by the taxpayer, with no Chartered Accountant certification required. Both are due by 31 December of the next financial year. Separately, the department may order a departmental audit under Section 65 or a special audit under Section 66. BizBharat Pro simplifies preparation with reports that match GST portal data, helping small businesses comply without specialised accounting staff.

A GST invoice is a tax invoice that contains all mandatory details required under GST law.

GST registration is mandatory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for suppliers of goods (₹20 lakh in special category states) or ₹20 lakh for service providers (₹10 lakh in special category states). Even below this threshold, voluntary registration can help avail input tax credit. Registration is also required for e-commerce operators, service providers, and those making inter-state supplies. Without registration, you cannot collect or claim GST, attracting penalties. Registration itself is done on the GST portal; BizBharat Pro starts helping once you are registered. Once registered, maintain proper compliance with timely returns and accurate invoicing to avoid cancellation of registration.
