In Kollam district, Ittiva (ഇട്ടിവ) is a revenue village of Kottarakkara taluk, which has 27 villages, within the Chadayamangalam block panchayat. Its local body is Ittiva, which also covers the revenue village of Kottukkal.
The Ittiva village office, under the Kottarakkara 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 Ittiva, can support your business address in the GST application.
PIN codes used across Kottarakkara taluk include 691505, 691507, 691508 and 691534. Use the PIN printed on your KSEB bill or building tax receipt, so that the address in your GST application matches your proof.
The main town of the taluk is Kottarakkara (Municipality), where banks, wholesale markets and the taluk office serve businesses from the surrounding villages.
Businesses in Ittiva, 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 Ittiva
Businesses in Ittiva mostly fall into a few groups. Here is when each one needs GST registration.
Cashew processing & trade
Processors in Ittiva 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 Ittiva generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Ittiva 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 Ittiva?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Ittiva 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 Ittiva 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.
