I would suggest you can wait for GST registration. For many states, GST registration is already started. If not, they will start in fortnight for many other states. I foresee a challenging migration process from VAT to GST, if you are going to register it now. Until and unless you are compelled to register now for VAT (as your business activity might demand), i would suggest you to hold on for it.
