What is the limit of income as an engineering consultant providing engineering service to a company to register for GST for an individual? Is the limit 40 lakhs per financial year?

What is the limit of income as an engineering consultant providing engineering service to a company to collect GST from that company for an individual? Is the limit is 20 lakhs?

How can then the individual pay the GST to government without registering for GST if the income of the individual for providing engineering service to a company in a financial year is above 20 lakhs and below 40 lakhs also?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies GST registration requirements for individual engineering consultants. It addresses the income thresholds for mandatory GST registration, distinguishing between goods (40 lakhs) and services (20 lakhs). The core question revolves around how an individual can pay GST to the government if their service income exceeds 20 lakhs but remains below 40 lakhs, without formal registration. It's highlighted that GST registration is generally mandatory to pay taxes, though voluntary registration is an option. For Casual Taxable Persons (CTP) and Non-Resident Taxable Persons (NRTP), there's no threshold limit. Failure to register when required can result in penalties of Rs. 10,000 or the GST liability, whichever is higher.

How can then the individual pay the GST to government without making any GST registration if his/her income is more than Rs. 20 lakhs and below 40 lakhs in a financial year?Is there any way to pay the GST amount without doing the GST registration?

What actions can be taken by the government on that individual if he/she does not pay GST to the government while income is above 20 lakhs and below 40 lakhs in a financial year?
