Why GST Registration Threshold matters for your GCC
GST Registration Threshold is a GST requirement for foreign-owned Indian entities and GCCs. Missing the application within 30 days of becoming liable for registration obligation triggers section 122: penalty of inr 10,000 or tax evaded, whichever is higher, for operating without registration, and downstream filings or transactions may be blocked until rectification. Most foreign parents discover GST Registration Threshold issues only when a downstream transaction surfaces the prior gap, by which point rectification costs and operational delays have grown materially. Proactive handling avoids these cascading consequences.
