GST registration is a must for every Private Limited Company that has goods or services for sale in India. GST registration will enable the company to comply with tax regulations, bring more transparency in the payment of taxes, and enable the business to claim input tax credit, i.e., pay less total amount of tax.
A Private Limited Company must get registered for GST if its turnover is over ₹40 lakh per year for those businesses that operate in goods or ₹20 lakh for services. GST registration must be done if the company carries out interstate business, online selling (e-commerce), or import/export operations.
The whole GST registration process is online via the official GST portal. For registering, the company has to provide some vital documents. Once approved, the company gets a GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) that needs to be quoted on every invoice and taxation document.
It allows the company to claim tax credits, facilitates easier trading across states, enhances business goodwill, and puts them in their place about all taxation laws. Put simply, GST registration facilitates easier operation and progress of a Private Limited Company in addition to ensuring it remains on the right side of the taxation laws.

GST registration is compulsory tax compliance for Private Limited Companies involved in the supply of goods or services in India. It enables businesses to collect GST from customers legally and claim input tax credit (ITC) on purchases.
On registration, the company is assigned a GST Identification Number (GSTIN), which needs to be printed on invoices and tax returns. GST registration assists businesses in avoiding penalties, accessing greater market reach, and maintaining streamlined tax compliance. The process of registration is fully online on the government's GST portal and involves basic company documentation like the PAN card, incorporation certificate, bank information, and director details.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
