If your branch is in same state then you have a choice to register separately or not...

If you register separately i.e. you will hold 2 difference GSTIN..

So if GSTIN is defference then you have to make the payment of GST...

It is always advisable to take same registration for branches within the same state provided they are in the same line of business, because the benefit of setting off input tax credit with the output tax liability between the branches can be done. However, if they are business verticals then different registration may be taken.

If different registration is taken for different branches in the same state then it is taxable under GST.
