GST for common businesses in Mannar
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around Mannar, and what GST means for each.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Mannar register once sales cross the limit or when they supply buyers outside Kerala. Societies and private units exporting through Kochi usually register early and file an LUT so exports go out without tax.
Homestays, resorts & houseboats
Homestays, resorts, houseboats, tour operators and taxi services in Mannar 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.
Fisheries & seafood
Fresh fish is exempt, so a seller dealing only in fresh fish is not required to register. Dry fish, frozen and processed seafood, ice plants, boats and nets are handled differently, so processors, peeling sheds and exporters in Mannar generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.

Which PIN code should I use for a business in Mannar?+
Use the PIN printed on your address proof. The Mannar post office serving Mannar uses PIN 689622; a mismatch between the PIN in the application and the proof is a common reason for a query.

Do homestays and houseboats in Alappuzha need GST?+
Once turnover from services crosses ₹20 lakh in a year, yes. Many homestays, resorts and tour operators register earlier to work with travel portals, companies and government departments that ask for GST invoices.
Can I sell on Amazon or Flipkart from Mannar without GST?+
Only within Kerala. Since October 2023, small sellers supplying goods only within their own State can sell through marketplaces with an enrolment number instead of GST. To sell to buyers in other States, you need GST registration from the first sale.
Do contractors working for government departments or local bodies in Alappuzha need GST?+
Yes. Government departments, local bodies and PSUs 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.
