15. CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Example-1 Mr. Birbal makes a supply of Rs. 8 lacs on his own account and he also acts as an
agent on behalf of his principal Mr Akbar. On behalf of his principal he makes a turnover of
Rs 13 Lacs . Hence total supply will be aggregated to Rs 21 Lacs.
Example-2 Mr Birbal ( job worker) on receiving the goods from the principal and after
doing necessary processing on the goods, return the goods to principal or make supply
as per the instruction of principal.
As per this provision, such supply will not be counted in the turnover of job-worker but will
be included in the turnover of principal.
Example-3 Mr. X, a supplier, located in Delhi has aggregate turnover of Rs. 8 lakhs in FY
2017-18. His turnover reaches to Rs. 20 lakhs in December 2018 i.e. in the FY 2018-19.
Whether Mr. is liable to mandatory registration?
Solution: Section does not specify that the aggregate value of turnover shall be
computed for the previous Financial Year. Therefore anytime in the current
financial year if the aggregate turnover exceeds Rs. 20 lakhs or 10 Lakhs as the case
may be the supplier needs to apply for registration on reaching of turnover of Rs. 20
lakhs or 10 lakhs.
In the present case, turnover of Mr. X reaches Rs. 20 lakhs in December 2018 therefore
he shall apply for registration in the month of December 2018 itself.
However, Mr. X can apply for voluntary registration even if his turnover does not reach Rs.
20 lakhs or 10 lakhs as the case may be
Example-4 Mr X has turnover of Rs 25 lacs in respect of goods which are not liable to tax
in GST. He has also turnover of Rs 5 lacs of taxable goods. In this case total turnover
is more than Rs.20 lacs, hence liable for registration. In this case if, he has turnover only
of non-taxable supply of say of Rs 30 lacs , then he is not liable for registration ,even if
turnover crosses the limit of Rs. 20 Lacs.
