GST for common businesses in Chempu
What GST means for the typical businesses of Chempu and the wider Kottayam district:
Rubber trade & processing
Growers selling sheet rubber or latex from their own holdings are agriculturists and generally don't need GST for that sale. Rubber dealers, sheet processing and smoke-house units, and latex-based manufacturers in Chempu register once over the limit, and buyers in other States insist on a GSTIN.
Wholesale & retail trade
Supermarkets, wholesalers, hardware, textile and electronics shops in Chempu 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.
Clinics, pharmacies & coaching
Healthcare services by clinics and doctors are largely exempt, but pharmacies, medical equipment dealers, Ayurveda product makers and coaching centres in Chempu are taxable and register once they cross the limit.
