GST for common businesses in North Guwahati
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around North Guwahati, and what GST means for each.
Silk, handloom & weaving
Weavers, yarn dealers and showrooms selling muga, pat, eri and handloom products from North Guwahati 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.
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 North Guwahati register to work with companies and claim input tax credit on vehicles and fuel-related costs where allowed.
Wholesale & retail trade
Kirana stores, wholesalers, hardware, garments and electronics dealers in North Guwahati 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.
Contractors & suppliers
Civil contractors, electrical and plumbing contractors and material suppliers in North Guwahati working for government departments or companies need a GSTIN. Government offices deduct TDS under GST on larger contracts, credited against your GST.

- PhotosUnclear photos of the premisesOfficers often ask for a photo showing the name board and the building. We tell you exactly what to click.
- CodesWrong HSN/SAC or business typeChoosing the wrong codes or constitution leads to queries later. We select them based on what you actually sell.
- QueriesMissing the 7-day reply windowAn unanswered query (REG-03) leads to rejection. We reply within the deadline, with no extra fee.
