    I am not into the business of trading of diamonds. I do not have a GST number. However, I have my own/personal diamonds as an asset since long. I wish to sell the diamonds now. If the sale value is more than 50 lacs, should I have a GST number before being able to sell the diamonds?

    I understand Aggregate turnover includes by definition all Income recd from taxable as well as exempt and non taxable supplies. Interest income being exempt supply income needs to be included in this which means even if the rental income is say Rs. 5 lakhs and other exempt supply income like interest on deposits is Rs. 17 lakhs – one has to Register and once registered you have to charge GST on rent even though it is only Rs. 5 laks
