GST for common businesses in Manantheri
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around Manantheri, and what GST means for each.
Handloom & textiles
Handloom societies, weaving units and garment makers in Manantheri register once sales cross the limit or when they sell to other States or through showrooms that ask for GST invoices. Makers of notified handicraft goods get some relief for inter-State sales below the limit, subject to conditions.
Plywood, timber & furniture
Plywood and veneer units, saw mills, timber depots and furniture makers in Manantheri usually need GST registration, because buyers are businesses that claim input tax credit, and timber moving between districts or States needs e-way bills.
Homestays, resorts & houseboats
Homestays, resorts, houseboats, tour operators and taxi services in Manantheri need GST registration once turnover from services crosses ₹20 lakh. Tour operators and travel agents booking for business clients often register earlier so clients can claim credit.

Which PIN code should I use for a business in Manantheri?+
Use the PIN printed on your address proof. The Manantheri post office serving Manantheri uses PIN 670643; a mismatch between the PIN in the application and the proof is a common reason for a query.

Yes. In Kerala, 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.
