GST Services in Meghalaya

Yes, GST registration is mandatory if your annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for special category states like Meghalaya). It's also mandatory if you make inter-state supplies, sell through e-commerce platforms, or are required to pay tax under reverse charge mechanism, regardless of turnover.

Regular taxpayers must file GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and GSTR-3B (summary return) monthly. Composition dealers file CMP-08 quarterly. All registered businesses must file GSTR-9 (annual return) and businesses with turnover above ₹5 crores must also file GSTR-9C (reconciliation statement).

Late filing attracts a late fee of ₹50/day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) for GSTR-3B and GSTR-1, capped at ₹10,000 per return. Additionally, interest at 18% per annum is charged on the outstanding tax liability. Persistent non-filing can lead to registration cancellation and loss of Input Tax Credit.
