Yes, GST registration is mandatory for a zero-rated tax dealer if the aggregate turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs, even if the dealer is currently unregistered.
✅ Here’s why:
Under the CGST Act, 2017, Section 22(1) clearly states:
Every supplier shall be liable to be registered under GST if their aggregate turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for special category states), regardless of whether their supplies are taxable, exempt, or zero-rated.
🧾 What is Zero-Rated Supply?
Zero-rated supply refers specifically to:
Exports of goods or services, or
Supplies to SEZ units/developers
Though tax is charged at 0%, such dealers are still considered taxable persons, and are eligible to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) and refunds.
🔍 So, to answer directly:
Condition GST Registration Required?
