New registration, amendment, and cancellation.

Who needs GST Registration?

Suppliers of goods or services crossing the registration threshold, and certain categories required to register regardless of turnover.

What triggers the requirement?

Aggregate turnover thresholds, which differ for goods and services and for special category states. Inter-state supply and e-commerce operators attract compulsory registration irrespective of turnover.

Does this have to be done by a registered professional?

This service is not legally reserved to a single profession. Lekha coordinates it with a professional whose experience matches the engagement, and the scope and fee are agreed in writing before work begins.

What is the deadline?

Within 30 days of becoming liable to register.

Which form or filing is produced?

Form GST REG-01.

What goes wrong most often?

Assuming the turnover threshold applies universally. Compulsory registration categories override it, and inter-state supply is the one founders miss most.

Which law governs this?

CGST Act s.22. Where a figure or requirement here differs from other published guidance, the statute governs — several thresholds in Indian startup compliance changed materially in 2025 and 2026.

How does Lekha handle this engagement?

Lekha coordinates and manages the engagement. The professional contracts directly with your company under their own engagement letter, sets their own fee within the published range, and is paid directly. Lekha charges a separate flat facilitation fee and takes no share of the professional's fee.
