Registration under GST (Sec 25)

1. What is the exact difference between sec 25(4) and 25(5) because both these subsections talk about registration in more than one state/UT.
2. If a person voluntarily obtains registration in one state (State 1)and is not required / does not voluntarily obtain registration in another state(State 2). Is the person required to obtain registration in the other state (State 2) u/s 25(5)?
Thank you.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Section 25 of the GST Act, focusing on registration requirements when operating in multiple states or Union Territories. It delves into the specific distinctions between subsections 25(4) and 25(5), particularly concerning voluntary registration in one state versus the implications for registration in another. The query also addresses whether a person registered in one state is automatically deemed a distinct person in another state under these provisions and enquires about relevant threshold limits.

* Will the person required to be registered to be deemed as a distinct person u/s 25(5) in the other state ( state 2)?
What is the threshold limit???

Sec 25(4) vs 25(5):
• Sec 25(4): a person with multiple registrations (in different States, or multiple GSTINs in the same State) is treated as distinct persons for each registration. Transactions between them are supplies (Schedule I para 2).
• Sec 25(5): where a person who has obtained or is required to obtain registration in a State also has an establishment in another State or UT, those establishments are treated as establishments of distinct persons (even before registration). This deals with establishments in different States.
• Together, these make inter-branch supplies across States taxable (and same-State branches with separate GSTINs too).
