Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether photocopy shops can opt for the GST composition scheme. It confirms that service providers, including photocopy businesses, with an annual turnover below ₹50 Lakhs can indeed avail this scheme. Key notifications and conditions, such as paying 6% total GST (3% CGST + 3% SGST), are highlighted, along with the registration threshold for service providers.

I think photocopying is regarded as business for the purpose of GST.

Yes, you may opt for composition scheme up to a turnover of Rs.1.5 cr (unless you don't fall under special category states)

You can Opt , Composition Scheme -2 , as per notification 2/2019 dated 7/3/2019 . Your turnover should be less than 50 lacs ,and you have to fulfill all conditions under said notification .
Yes composition scheme can be opted as turnover is less than 1.5 crores rupees
But the confusion is that only traders n manufacturers can go for composition but service providers can't....n this photocopy is counted as service...I don't know why
Yes , that's why I suggested to refer Notification 2/2019 (CT) rate dated 7/3/2019 . you have to pay 3%CGST and 3% SGST. This scheme is applicable to service provider . you have to fullfill all conditions in said notification .

After last amendment, even service providers having turnover up to ₹50 lacs can opt for composition scheme.

Any idea or number about this ammendment or notification
Notification 2/2019 (CT) rate dated 7/3/2019; Composition -2 Scheme .
THANKYOU all of you for your guidance..
what abt the threshold level fr registration of services...it shld also be 50 lac n not 20 lacs

Threshold limit to trigger registration is 40 lacs (for business) and 20 lacs (for service providers). Once you cross the limit, you need to register under GST and choose composition scheme (instead of regular scheme) if you want to opt for composition.
