Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether an RTO agent with a turnover exceeding 50 lakhs needs to register for GST. The key point is that only the agent's commission income counts towards the GST threshold, not the government fees they pay on behalf of clients. If the commission income surpasses the prescribed limit (₹20 lakhs per annum), GST registration is mandatory. The possibility of forming a cooperative society to avoid GST is also explored, though its feasibility requires detailed examination.

Yes he is liable get himself registered if his total commission income Exceeds 20 lac pa as prescribed in section 22 of CGST act
But he don't pay the commission amount online he is paying only the govt fees online. Will his all online transaction will be counted as turnover.

No.... Iam not talking about the fee he paid to RTO ,bit the commission he his earning from customer is his income. So if it's above 20 lac then he liable to obtain Registration

Sir agreed that if his commission amount will increase ₹20 lakhs then he should register for GST but Sir my client is fearing from GST just because his current account transaction are getting higher day by day, in his current account in just 3-4 he had done ₹36 lakhs of transactions, so he is fearing from that. Is this okay that in current account transaction could go higher and no questions would be raised ever by sales department or any other department or by bank. That's my question. And sir also he don't has kept any record or books of accounts he don't prepare, that how much commission he earns, how I should dealt with this. Plz reply.
