GST for common businesses in Cheppad
Businesses in Cheppad mostly fall into a few groups. Here is when each one needs GST registration.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Cheppad 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 Cheppad 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 Cheppad generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.
Who needs GST registration in Cheppad?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Cheppad with aggregate turnover above ₹40 lakh (only goods) or ₹20 lakh (services or both) in a financial year. Kerala uses the normal limits (₹10 lakh applies only in a few special category States).
- 2Selling goods to other StatesAnyone supplying goods from Cheppad to buyers outside Kerala, for example spices, cashew, coir or rubber products sent to Chennai, Bengaluru or Mumbai, whatever the turnover.
- 3Online sellersSellers of goods on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and similar platforms selling across States. Small sellers supplying only within Kerala can use an enrolment number instead.

Which address proof works for a shop or office in Cheppad?+
The latest building tax receipt from Cheppad, a land tax receipt or possession certificate from the Cheppad village office, or a recent KSEB bill for the building. If the premises are rented, add the rent agreement and the owner's consent letter.
Do I have to travel to Karthikappally or Alappuzha for GST registration?+
No. Registration from Cheppad is fully online: you share documents on WhatsApp, we file the application, and you confirm an Aadhaar OTP. If an officer orders a site visit, they come to your premises in Cheppad.
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 a small business in Cheppad choose the composition scheme?+
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.
Do I need a separate GST registration for a branch in another district of Kerala?+
No. One GST registration covers the whole State. A shop, godown or office in another district of Kerala is added as an additional place of business. You need a separate registration only in another State.
