Features of the Proposed GST ModelA single PAN based threshold exemption limit would apply to both CGST and SGST. Taxpayers with a turnover below it would be exempt from GST.

Liability for registration arises on crossing the threshold limit of Rs. 9 lakhs as specified by Schedule III (Limit being Rs. 4 lakhs in case business is conducted in any of the north east states including Sikkim.)
