Is gst registration mandatory

If your annual commission is more than 20 Lacs, then you need to register under GST.

As per section 24 of cgst act... Agent has to take mandatory gst no without any limit... So its better to take gst no.... If u received commission income

agreed with Divakar mandatory registration for agent is required hence you should obtain GST n number.

GST registration is not mandatory in this case.
"GST Act defines an Agent as a person including a factor, broker, commission agent, agent, an auctioneer or any other mercantile agent, by whatever name called, who carries on the business of supply or receipt of goods or services or both on behalf of another".
Please note that supply of goods on behalf of another is the part of definition. Here, Ravi is just working as referral agents. He is not supplying goods on behalf of textiles firm.
