Panmana (പന്മന) is one of 17 revenue villages in Karunagappally taluk of Kollam district, within the Chavara block panchayat. Its local body is Panmana, which also covers the revenue village of Vadakkumthala.
The Panmana village office, under the Karunagappally 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 Panmana, can support your business address in the GST application.
The nearest post office is Panmana (branch post office, PIN 691583), under the Karunagappaly 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 Karunagappally (Municipality), where banks, wholesale markets and the taluk office serve businesses from the surrounding villages.
Businesses in Panmana, such as shops, bakeries, workshops, contractors, homestays, spice and coconut traders and small manufacturers, can register for GST online without travelling to Kollam.
Kollam is the traditional centre of Kerala's cashew processing industry, with fishing harbours such as Neendakara and Sakthikulangara, coir units, and trade around the Ashtamudi lake.
GST for common businesses in Panmana
What GST means for the typical businesses of Panmana and the wider Kollam district:
Cashew processing & trade
Processors in Panmana that buy raw (unshelled) cashew nuts directly from farmers pay that GST themselves under reverse charge, so they must register whatever their turnover. Kernel traders and exporters also need a GSTIN, and exporters file a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) to export without paying tax.
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 Panmana generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Panmana 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.
Who needs GST registration in Panmana?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Panmana 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 Panmana 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.
Turnover counts all your businesses under the same PAN across India, including exempt sales. Farmers selling only their own produce don't need GST registration.

Which PIN code should I use for a business in Panmana?+
Use the PIN printed on your address proof. The Panmana post office serving Panmana uses PIN 691583; a mismatch between the PIN in the application and the proof is a common reason for a query.
