FAQ
GST registration for shops and small businesses: common questions
What is the GST registration limit?+
Generally ₹40 lakh turnover for goods and ₹20 lakh for services, with lower limits in some special category states. Certain businesses must register regardless of turnover.
What is the composition scheme?+
A simpler scheme for small businesses with lower tax rates and fewer returns — but you can't charge GST to customers or claim input tax credit.
Is it free to submit my problem on LawPaw?+
Yes. Telling us your problem and getting a call back from your coordinator is free. You pay only if you decide to go ahead.
What will I have to pay?+
Up to three things, all told to you in writing before you pay: (1) LawPaw's convenience fee for coordinating your matter, (2) the professional's fee, which they quote, and (3) government charges such as court fees or stamp duty, at actual cost. GST applies as per law. There are no hidden charges.
