Thank you for your reply.
I have an doubt that as per 23rd GST Council meeting, the inter state service providers do not require to get the GST registration upto the turnover of 20 lakhs (Rs.10 lakhs in Special Category State)
Pls clarify this issue.

28 October 2026 You are right — Notf 10/2017-IT exempts a person making inter-state supplies of services from compulsory registration until aggregate turnover crosses ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states), so the Pondicherry caterer need not register below that.
