It is a voluntary decision that one can make if their <a href=\"https:\/\/gstzen.in\/a\/concept-of-aggregate-turnover-in-gst.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aggregate turnover<\/a> falls below the prescribed threshold limit. The limit is \u20b920 lakh for service-related businesses and \u20b940 lakh for dealers of goods. Further, this limit can vary from one state to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An unregistered dealer is not eligible to obtain GST from their customers. Additionally, they cannot claim input tax credit on the purchase of raw materials for the business. Nevertheless, if these types of businesses are dealing with interstate supplies or engaging in online business, they must mandatorily undergo GST registration. Failing to do so will lead to penalties moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a GST invoice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A GST bill or invoice depicts a list of supplies provided by a supplier who is registered under the GST Act.
