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 .

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.

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.
