In Kannur district, Sivapuram (ശിവപുരം) is a revenue village of Thalassery taluk, which has 35 villages, within the Peravoor block panchayat. Its local body is Malur, which also covers the revenue village of Tholambra.
The Sivapuram village office, under the Thalassery 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 Malur, can support your business address in the GST application.
The nearest post office is Sivapuram (branch post office, PIN 670702), 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 Thalassery (Municipality), where banks, wholesale markets and the taluk office serve businesses from the surrounding villages.
Businesses in Sivapuram, 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 Sivapuram
Businesses in Sivapuram mostly fall into a few groups. Here is when each one needs GST registration.
Handloom & textiles
Handloom societies, weaving units and garment makers in Sivapuram 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 Sivapuram 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 Sivapuram 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 Sivapuram?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Sivapuram 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).

Yes. A business located in Sivapuram 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.
