Do you know what GST registration is?
GST registration is the process through which a taxpayer gets registered under Goods and Service Tax (GST). After the Goods and Service Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) has been assigned, the registration process is complete. It helps determine whether a business has to pay GST based on its 15-digit GSTIN issued by the Central Government.

How does GST work?
It will consist of three tax components: a central element (Central Goods and Services Tax, or CGST) and states (State Goods and Services Tax, or SGST), where both the state and the centre collect GST on every transaction that occurs within their territory.
