Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether cable operators, including individuals and companies, require mandatory GST registration. It addresses a specific scenario where a local cable operator (LCO) acts as an intermediary, raising bills with GST to consumers. The consensus is that LCOs must register for GST irrespective of their turnover, as they fall under compulsory registration provisions as per Section 24(vii) of the CGST Act, 2017.

Every Local cable operator LCO has to register under GST. Even if the LCO is managing only one Cable TV connection, he is liable to get registered under GST. LCO is taxable under Section 24, Clause (vii) of CGST Act, 2017, Compulsory registration in certain cases.
