Mandatory GST Registration Reason : 1. Due to crossing the threshold prescribed. (As per Government 20L/150L) 2. Due to Inter-State Supply 3. Due to liability to pay as recipient of services (Reverse Charge) 4. Due to transfer of business which includes change in the ownership of business (if transferee is not a registered entity)
