Question 1

What is the turnover limit for GST registration in Gujarat?

Accepted Answer

For a supplier of goods, registration becomes mandatory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh in a financial year. For a service provider, the limit is ₹20 lakh. Below these, registration is voluntary — unless one of the compulsory triggers below applies.

Question 2

When is GST registration mandatory regardless of turnover?

Accepted Answer

Registration is compulsory from day one if you make inter-state supplies of goods, sell through an e-commerce platform (Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy, etc.), are liable under reverse charge, or act as a casual or non-resident taxable person. Most online sellers and B2B suppliers fall here.

Question 3

Should I register voluntarily if I am below the limit?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. Company and larger B2B clients often prefer GST-registered vendors so they can claim input credit, and registration lets you claim credit on your own purchases. Against that, it adds monthly filing. We give you an honest yes/no for your specific client mix rather than registering you by default.

Question 4

I only sell locally in Gujarat and earn under ₹20 lakh — do I need GST?

Accepted Answer

If you supply only within Gujarat, stay under the threshold, and don’t sell on any e-commerce platform, you generally don’t need to register. We will tell you plainly if that’s your situation instead of pushing an unnecessary registration.

Question 5

How much does GST registration cost?

Accepted Answer

Our professional fee is a flat ₹499. There is no government fee for standard GST registration, so for most applicants ₹499 is the total cost. If your case needs anything beyond standard registration, we tell you before you pay.

Question 6

How long does GST registration take?

Accepted Answer

Once your documents are complete and Aadhaar authentication is done, a GSTIN is typically issued within about 3–7 working days. If the officer raises a query, it can take longer — we handle the reply so it stays on track.

Question 7

Do I need to visit any office?

Accepted Answer

No. The entire process is online. In some cases the department asks for biometric Aadhaar verification at a GST Suvidha Kendra — if that applies to you, we tell you in advance and guide you through it.

Question 8

What is Aadhaar authentication and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

It’s an OTP-based verification of the applicant’s Aadhaar that speeds up approval. Completing it usually gets you a faster, physical-verification-free approval. We walk you through it during the application.

Question 9

Can you register a business anywhere in India, or only Gujarat?

Accepted Answer

We are Gujarat-based and know the local jurisdictions well, but we handle GST registration and filing for businesses across India — the process is online, so location is not a barrier.

Question 10

What documents are needed for GST registration?

Accepted Answer

Broadly: PAN and Aadhaar of the proprietor/partners/directors, a photo, proof of the business place (electricity bill / rent agreement + owner’s bill / consent letter), and bank proof (cancelled cheque or statement). The exact list depends on your business type — we send you a tailored checklist.

Question 11

Do I need a current account before registering?

Accepted Answer

A business current account is recommended and often expected, but a proprietor can sometimes start with a savings account and add the current account later. We advise based on your case rather than making you wait.

Question 12

My business runs from home — can I still register?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A home address can be used with the right proof (electricity bill and, if the property isn’t in your name, a simple consent letter from the owner). Many proprietors and freelancers register from home; we set the address proof up correctly so it isn’t queried.

Question 13

The shop is rented — what do I provide?

Accepted Answer

A rent agreement plus the owner’s electricity bill (or property tax receipt) usually suffices. If there’s no formal agreement, a consent letter from the owner with their bill can work. We’ll tell you the cleanest option for your situation.

Question 14

Is ₹499 really the full price, or are there hidden charges?

Accepted Answer

For standard registration, ₹499 is our full professional fee — there are no hidden charges. The only thing separate from our fee is any government due (there is none for standard registration), and we always show that separately and upfront.

Question 15

What does the ₹499/month filing plan include?

Accepted Answer

Monthly filing of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, filing reminders, and free access to billing software. Nil returns in quiet months are included too — you pay the same flat ₹499 whether it’s a busy month or a nil one.

Question 16

Are government fees included in your price?

Accepted Answer

Standard GST registration has no government fee. Where a government due does arise (for example, tax payable with a return, or a late fee for a past default), that is your statutory liability and is always shown separately from our professional fee.

Question 17

Do I have to pay for the billing software?

Accepted Answer

No. The billing software is free for our monthly filing customers — it’s included in the ₹499/month, not an add-on.

Question 18

What if I miss a month or have no sales?

Accepted Answer

You still need to file a Nil return, which we do as part of your plan. Skipping it triggers late fees, so keeping the monthly filing running — even in nil months — is what protects you.

Question 19

What is the difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?

Accepted Answer

GSTR-1 reports your outward sales invoice-by-invoice. GSTR-3B is the summary return where you declare your total sales, claim input tax credit, and pay any tax due. Both are needed each period; we file both under the ₹499/month plan.

Question 20

Monthly or quarterly filing — which applies to me?

Accepted Answer

Businesses under ₹5 crore turnover can opt for the QRMP scheme (quarterly returns with monthly tax payment); larger businesses file monthly. We set you on the option that fits your turnover and cash flow.

Question 21

What happens if I file late?

Accepted Answer

A late fee accrues per day per return, plus interest on any unpaid tax, and your buyers can’t claim credit until you file. Our reminders and managed filing exist specifically to keep you from ever getting there.

Question 22

What is input tax credit and how do I not lose it?

Accepted Answer

Input tax credit lets you set off the GST you paid on purchases against the GST you collect on sales. You only get it if your supplier files correctly and it appears in your GSTR-2B — so we reconcile your purchases against 2B every month and flag suppliers who haven’t filed.

Question 23

I received a GST notice — what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Don’t ignore it — notices have strict reply deadlines, and missing one can lead to registration cancellation or a demand. Send it to us; we read what’s actually being asked, prepare a proper reply with the right documents, and file it on time.

Question 24

My GST registration was cancelled — can it be restored?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, through revocation — if you act within the allowed window and clear the pending returns/dues that caused the cancellation. The sooner you start, the better the odds. We handle the revocation application and the back-filing.

Question 25

I haven’t filed for several months — what now?

Accepted Answer

It’s fixable. We assess the pending returns and late fees, file the backlog in the right order, and get you current — then keep you compliant monthly so it doesn’t recur. We’ll give you the honest cost of catching up before starting.

Question 26

Are you actually authorised to do this?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we are an Authorised GST Practitioner enrolled with the GST Department under enrolment ID 242000004888GPL, which is verifiable on the official GST portal. Your filings are handled by a qualified practitioner, not an unregulated intermediary.

Question 27

How do we communicate?

Accepted Answer

Mostly over WhatsApp and phone — it’s how our clients actually work. You send documents and sales data on WhatsApp; we handle the portal and confirm each filing. No app to learn, no office visits.

Question 28

Do you serve businesses outside Vadodara?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We’re based in Vadodara but work with businesses across Gujarat and the rest of India. Everything is handled online, so where you are doesn’t change the service or the price.

Question 29

Is my data safe with you?

Accepted Answer

We only collect what a filing genuinely needs, and your documents are used solely for your GST work. We don’t trade in your data or add charges you didn’t agree to.
