What it means in practice

GST Registration is administered by Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) / CBIC. The obligation is grounded in CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019-Central Tax dated 7 March 2019 (Section 22 + Section 24).

Yarn (HSN 5205–5207) and woven fabric (HSN 5208–5212) attract 5% GST; ITC accumulation is common for weavers — registration early avoids working capital lock-in.
