As per section 24 of CGST Act, every persons making interstate taxable supply have to get registered irrespective of the turnover.If the MF distributor is in one state and MF head office in another state, the MF distributor will be making an intertstae supply.In such a case, he has to get registered irrespective of the turnover.
