What is GST Registration & Return Filing?
Goods & Services Tax (GST) registration is mandatory for businesses crossing turnover thresholds (₹40 lakh for goods / ₹20 lakh for services in most states; ₹20L / ₹10L in special-category states), inter-state sellers, e-commerce operators, and businesses claiming input tax credit. Akshay B2B handles new GST registration, monthly/quarterly returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B), the GSTR-9 annual return, reconciliation, amendments, cancellation and notice replies — so your filings are always accurate and on time.

Common questions
Quick answers to the things founders ask us most.
How long does GST registration take?
Usually 3–7 working days after successful Aadhaar OTP / biometric verification, assuming documents are in order.
What if I miss filing a GST return?
Late fee is ₹50/day (₹20/day for nil) up to a cap, plus 18% p.a. interest on tax due. Continued non-filing can lead to suspension of GSTIN.
Composition vs regular — which should I choose?
Composition is for small businesses with turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75 lakh in special states) — lower rate but no ITC. Regular allows ITC. We help you decide.
Can I sell on Amazon without GST?
No. Marketplaces require a GSTIN before listing taxable goods. Books and a few exempt categories are exceptions.
Do you handle GST notices?
Yes — we draft and file replies to ASMT-10, DRC-01, audit notices and represent you before the officer where required.
Do I need GST if I'm a freelancer earning < ₹20 lakh?
Not unless you supply across states or to clients abroad with export benefits. Voluntary registration is optional.
