❊ What is GST Registration?

GST Registration is the official process by which businesses and individuals supplying goods or services in India register under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. Upon registration, a unique GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) is issued, allowing businesses to legally collect GST and avail Input Tax Credit (ITC).

Launched to unify India’s complex indirect tax system, GST replaced multiple taxes like VAT, Excise Duty, and Service Tax, streamlining compliance under a single regime.
