Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST registration for businesses dealing with NIL rate or exempted goods, particularly for inter-state transactions. Generally, if your business exclusively supplies exempted goods or services, GST registration isn't required, even for inter-state sales, as per Section 23 of the CGST Act. However, it's important to distinguish between NIL-rated supplies (0% GST, no Input Tax Credit or refund) and zero-rated supplies (exports), where different rules may apply.
Since No GST liablity arises need not take registration unless u r claiming GST for Inputs. Note. Refund can b collected for nil rated supply but not for exempt supply.
Nil rated supply is a type of supply which attracts a GST at rate 0%(i.e.Nil)
Whereas, Supplies made overseas/outside India and to Special Economic Zones (SEZs) or SEZ Developers (i.e Export of Goods) come under the zero-rated supplies.
Persons making inter-state supply is liable to obtain registration., But if person is exclusively deal in exempted Goods, than whether inter state or intra state..he is not liable for registration as exempt u/s 23 of CGST, Act.
As per Section 23 of CGST Act , the person engaged Exclusively in the Supply of goods or services or both that are not liable to tax or wholly Exempted under CGST & IGST Act is not required to obtain Registration.
So as per above Section , even though he is supplying Interstate is not required obtain Registration unless he is engaged in supplying Exempted goods or services.
