Yes, you can purchase fabrics from other states under the same GST registration number that was used for your previous steel business. There should generally not be any issue from GST authorities as long as you comply with GST regulations. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
1. **Common GST Registration:** If your fabric supply business is operated under the same legal entity (same GSTIN) as your previous steel business, you can use the existing GST registration for your new business activities.
2. **Input Tax Credit (ITC):** Ensure that when you purchase fabrics from other states, you comply with GST rules for claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC). This includes ensuring that the suppliers are GST compliant and that you have proper documentation such as tax invoices.
3. **Business Activities:** Since your new business involves fabric supply, ensure that your GST registration reflects the correct nature of business activity under the appropriate GST classification (HSN code).
4. **Compliance:** Regularly file your GST returns accurately and on time. This includes reporting interstate purchases and sales appropriately in your GST returns.
5. **Consultation:** If you have specific concerns or if your business structure or operations have changed significantly, it may be beneficial to consult with a GST expert or a Chartered Accountant to ensure compliance with GST regulations specific to your business scenario.
By adhering to these guidelines and maintaining proper documentation, you can conduct your fabric supply business under the same GST registration without issues from GST authorities.
