GST Registration, Return & Audit in
Karnataka

IMAK Advisory is an ICAI-registered firm of chartered accountants in Whitefield, Bengaluru, handling GST registration, return filing and input tax credit reconciliation for proprietors, partnerships, LLPs and companies across India. All of this work happens on the national portal, so the location of your business does not limit the support you get.

Registration starts with the right category and documents. Most businesses must register once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services, and some must register from the first sale, such as inter-state suppliers of goods and e-commerce sellers. Eligible small applicants can now opt for simplified approval within three working days. Remember that a tax registration does not replace other approvals – a factory in Kerala, for example, still needs its consent from the Kerala State Pollution Control Board.

Every GSTIN carries information. The first two digits are the state: the 08 GST state code is Rajasthan, 29 is Karnataka. Before paying a supplier, use the taxpayer search GST facility on gst.gov.in to verify GSTIN details – a GST search by GST number shows the legal name, status and filing record, and a GST number search by PAN lists all registrations under one PAN.

Each GSTR has its own purpose: GSTR-1 for sales, GSTR-3B for the monthly summary and payment, GSTR-9 for the year. From July 2025 the figures that flow from the sales return into the summary return are locked, and returns older than three years can no longer be filed, so getting the sales return right the first time matters more than ever.

Since 22 September 2025, GST rates in India sit mainly at 5% and 18%, with 40% for selected sin and luxury goods. Each change in rate of GST affects open orders, price lists and credit on stock, and the rate on a transaction depends on when the supply, invoice and payment happened. If you want the legal background, the key GST article in the Constitution is Article 246A, with Article 269A for inter-state supplies and Article 279A for the Council that recommends rates.

Our monthly routine is simple and disciplined: close the sales register, match purchases with the credit statement, act on supplier invoices in the Invoice Management System, file the sales return, then file the summary and pay the tax before the due date. Clients receive the filed copies and a short note on anything that needs a decision. For businesses with branches in several states, the same routine runs for each registration, and an annual review ties the year's returns to the audited accounts before the annual return and reconciliation statement are filed.

We do not publish fees; our team shares the exact total after reviewing your documents. We are not the tax department and cannot grant or guarantee registration.
