GST for common businesses in Chirang
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around Chirang, and what GST means for each.
Farm produce, agri-inputs & food
Farmers selling their own produce don't need GST registration. Seed, fertiliser and pesticide dealers, cold storages, millers and traders in Chirang need it once they cross the limit, while businesses dealing only in exempt items such as unbranded fresh vegetables are not required to register.
Silk, handloom & weaving
Weavers, yarn dealers and showrooms selling muga, pat, eri and handloom products from Chirang register once sales cross the limit or when they sell to other States. Makers of notified handicraft goods get some relief for inter-State sales below the limit, subject to conditions such as a PAN and e-way bills, so we check this first.
Bamboo, cane & forest produce
Bamboo and cane furniture makers, timber and broom-grass traders and agarbatti stick units in Chirang register once they cross the limit or sell to other States; GST invoices also help when supplying government projects.
Wholesale & retail trade
Kirana stores, wholesalers, hardware, garments and electronics dealers in Chirang register once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh, or earlier to buy from bigger distributors with input tax credit. Traders below ₹1.5 crore can choose the composition scheme and pay a small fixed percentage of turnover instead.
Online sellers
Sellers in Chirang supplying goods only within Assam through marketplaces can use an enrolment number instead of GST below the limit. Selling to buyers in other States through Amazon, Flipkart or Meesho needs GST registration from the first sale.
Transport, warehousing & logistics
Goods transport agencies whose services are taxed under reverse charge (paid by business customers) may not need registration, but most fleet owners, warehouses, courier franchises and packers in Chirang register to work with companies and claim input tax credit on vehicles and fuel-related costs where allowed.

Yes. GST applies in Sixth Schedule areas of Assam exactly as elsewhere, including Chirang district.

Can farmers in Chirang get GST registration?+
Farmers selling only their own produce don't need it. Registration is useful if you also run a shop, agri-input dealership, mill, cold storage, transport or processing unit, or sell to big buyers who want GST invoices.
Do small tea growers in Chirang need GST registration?+
A grower selling green leaf from their own garden is an agriculturist and generally doesn't need GST registration for that sale. A grower who also processes, packs or trades tea, or runs a bought-leaf factory, needs registration once over the limit.

Yes. In Assam, traders and manufacturers with turnover up to ₹1.5 crore can opt for composition and pay 1% of turnover (5% for restaurants), and service providers up to ₹50 lakh pay 6%. You can't collect GST from customers or sell goods to other States under composition.
Do I need a separate GST registration for a branch in another district of Assam?+
No. One GST registration covers the whole State. A shop, godown or office in another district of Assam is added as an additional place of business. You need a separate registration only in another State.
Do contractors working for government departments in Chirang need GST?+
Yes. Government departments and agencies ask for a GSTIN in tenders and work orders, and deduct TDS under GST on larger contracts. The TDS shows in your GST account and is used to pay your tax.

GST doesn't need one, but your local body may: the Guwahati Municipal Corporation, municipal boards and town committees issue trade licences in towns, and gaon panchayats may levy a trade licence fee in rural areas. A trade licence is also useful supporting proof of your business.
