GST Registration Hyderabad

If you are starting a business in Hyderabad or your turnover has crossed the threshold limit, GST registration is mandatory. Failing to register when required attracts a penalty of 10 percent of the tax due with a minimum of Rs 10,000. At Obaid Khan and Associates, we handle GST registration for businesses across Hyderabad including traders, service providers, e-commerce sellers, freelancers, and companies with inter-state supplies. This guide covers who needs to register, the documents required, the process, and the timeline. 

• Businesses in Telangana with annual turnover above Rs 20 lakh for both goods and services 
  (When the GST Council in 2019 raised the threshold for goods from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 40 lakh, Telangana chose to retain the previous limit and did not adopt the higher Rs 40 lakh limit. The Rs 40 lakh limit does not apply to Telangana, the GST registration threshold for goods in Telangana remains at Rs 20 lakh)

• Any business making inter-state supply of goods regardless of turnover

• E-commerce sellers and aggregators regardless of turnover

• Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons

• Businesses required to pay tax under reverse charge mechanism

• Input service distributors and agents of a supplier

• PAN card of the business owner or company

• Aadhaar card of the proprietor, partners, or directors

• Proof of business address such as electricity bill or rent agreement

• Bank account statement or cancelled cheque

• Partnership deed, certificate of incorporation, or LLP agreement as applicable

• Photographs of the proprietor, partners, or directors

• Digital signature for companies and LLPs

The GST registration process is entirely online through the GST portal at gst.gov.in. Once the application is submitted with all documents, the GST officer reviews it and either approves the registration or raises a query within 7 working days. If a query is raised, you have 7 working days to respond. On approval, your GSTIN is issued and you can begin collecting GST from customers. The entire process typically takes 7 to 14 working days when all documents are in order. 

Even if your turnover is below the threshold, voluntary GST registration can benefit your business. Corporate clients and large companies prefer to deal with GST-registered vendors because they can claim input tax credit on your invoices. Without a GSTIN, you may lose business opportunities with larger clients. If you are a freelancer, consultant, or small service provider dealing with corporate clients in Hyderabad, voluntary registration can make your business more competitive. 

Getting a GSTIN is only the beginning. Once registered, you are required to file GSTR-1 every month or quarter depending on your turnover, file GSTR-3B every month with tax payment, reconcile your input tax credit regularly, and file GSTR-9 annually. Missing filings attract late fees of Rs 50 per day per return and your GSTIN can be suspended or cancelled if returns are not filed for 6 consecutive months. At Obaid Khan and Associates, we handle end to end GST compliance for businesses across Hyderabad so you never miss a deadline.
