GST Registrations are of two types…

The GST regular scheme is for the general taxpayers whose turnover is above the threshold limit.
Under the GST regular scheme, all individuals with turnover above 40 lacs are required to take GST Registration. They are required to pay GST on goods & services as per the applicable rates and do regular GST return filing
- GST Composition Scheme ( for Composite Dealer)
The composition scheme is meant for small businesses whose turnover of taxable goods not more than ₹1.5 crores, where GST has to be borne by the seller @1% of such turnover by traders, @2% by manufacturers, 5% for Restaurants & 6% for Service Providers.
A Composition Dealer has to issue Bill of Supply. They cannot issue a Tax Invoice. This is because the tax has to be paid by the dealer out of pocket. A Composition Dealer is not allowed to recover the GST from the customers.
