Hi
what is the criteria for individuals to get registered under GST.. The law says 19 lakhs aggregate income..is this the income on which GST is levied.
For example Mr.A has income from salary of Rs.12 Lakhs and Income from House property 8 lakhs.. Should he register
or Mr.B has income from salary Rs.6 lakhs and Income from House property Rs.12 lakhs should he register
or Mr.C having income from salary Rs.5 Lakhs and Income from house property Rs.20 lakhs which is covered by GST as service
please guide
thanks

GST is not applicable on Salary. Ignore salary income, while calculating 20 lakhs limit. Your rental income from House Property is covered by GST. In case your income from rent of house property is more than 20 lakhs, then only you need to take GST registration.
Moreover rental income from residential property is also exempt from GST.
With all due respect I would like to differ from what CA Sukesh has said.
The definition of "aggregate turnover" as per section 2(6) of the CGST Act includes the following: (i) Taxable supplies (ii) Exempt supplies (iii) Exports (iv) Inter-state supplies of persons having same PAN
Further definition of Exempt supplies as per section 2(47) of CGST Act includes goods/services which: 1. attract nil rate of tax 2. are wholly exempt from tax 3. are non-taxable supplies
Since point 3 above covers non-taxable supplies, salary would also get covered in the value of exempt supplies as it is not taxable i.e. there is no levy of GST on salary. Hence if covered in the value of exempt supplies it would also get covered in the value of "aggregate turnover" under point (ii).
