The Indian government implemented the GST, a unified taxation system. Businesses that only operate in one state and make less than ₹40 lakhs are exempt from registration requirements. Nonetheless, GST registration is required if turnover surpasses ₹40 lakhs or entails interstate transactions. However, if the business revenue exceeds ₹40 lakhs or involves inter-state transactions, GST becomes a mandatory tax even if the revenue is below ₹40 lakhs.
