Interstate supply: Mandatory for any interstate sale, regardless of turnover

Reverse Charge Mechanism: If you pay tax under RCM, registration is mandatory

Casual taxable person: Supplying goods/services in a state where you don't have a fixed place

Non-resident taxable person: Foreign businesses supplying taxable goods/services in India

Voluntary Registration
