Our CA team at TaxAMC provides expert, fast, and affordable GST Registration services across Aurangabad and surrounding areas.

1. Who Must Register for GST in Aurangabad?

As per the GST Act, 2017, the following businesses in Aurangabad must mandatorily register for GST:

• Turnover threshold: Annual turnover above ₹40 lakh for goods suppliers; above ₹20 lakh for service providers in Maharashtra
• Interstate suppliers: Aurangabad businesses supplying goods or services to other states — regardless of turnover
• E-commerce sellers: All sellers on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, or any online marketplace — mandatory regardless of annual turnover
• Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM): Businesses receiving specified supplies on which they must pay GST under RCM
• Importers and exporters: Any Aurangabad business engaged in cross-border trade of goods or services
• Casual taxable persons: Those making occasional taxable supplies in or from Aurangabad
• Agents of registered suppliers operating in Aurangabad

Even below the threshold, voluntary GST registration is advisable for B2B businesses in Aurangabad — unregistered suppliers cannot issue tax invoices, which blocks buyers' ITC claims and frequently costs businesses their largest client contracts.
