In Kannur district, Payam (പായം) is a revenue village of Iritty taluk, which has 20 villages, within the Iritty block panchayat. Its local body is Payam, which also covers the revenue village of Vilamana.
The Payam village office, under the Iritty taluk office, keeps the land records for the village and issues land tax receipts and possession certificates. Either of these, or the building tax receipt from Payam, can support your business address in the GST application.
The nearest post office is Payam (sub post office, PIN 670704), under the Thalassery head post office. The PIN code in your GST application must match the one on your KSEB bill or building tax receipt, or the officer may raise a query.
The main town of the taluk is Iritty (Municipality), where banks, wholesale markets and the taluk office serve businesses from the surrounding villages.
Businesses in Payam, such as shops, bakeries, workshops, contractors, homestays, spice and coconut traders and small manufacturers, can register for GST online without travelling to Kannur.
Kannur is known for handloom weaving, plywood and furniture, beaches and the Kannur international airport, with trade in Thalassery, Payyannur and Taliparamba.
GST for common businesses in Payam
Businesses in Payam mostly fall into a few groups. Here is when each one needs GST registration.
Handloom & textiles
Handloom societies, weaving units and garment makers in Payam 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 Payam 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 Payam 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.
Who needs GST registration in Payam?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Payam 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 Payam 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 Payam?+
The latest building tax receipt from Payam, a land tax receipt or possession certificate from the Payam 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.
Which PIN code should I use for a business in Payam?+
Use the PIN printed on your address proof. The Payam post office serving Payam uses PIN 670704; a mismatch between the PIN in the application and the proof is a common reason for a query.

No. Registration from Payam 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 Payam.
Do homestays and houseboats in Kannur 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.
Do contractors working for government departments or local bodies in Kannur 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.
Can an NRI-owned business in Payam register for GST?+
Yes. A business located in Payam and owned by a Keralite living abroad registers like any other business, with the owner's PAN, passport or Aadhaar, and the Indian business address. A family member in Kerala can be the authorised signatory for day-to-day filings.
