I am a civil contractor doing construction and repairing jobs in army department having a yearly turnover of around Rs.75.00 lac. I do not have any VAT no.till now. The prescribed VAT amount is deducted by army deptt. from my bills and is being deposited in VAT deptt. of Assam. Now as the GST is going to be applicable from 01/07/17, I want to get myself registered for GST. Am a eligible to apply directly GST or I will have to first get registered under Assam VAT and then convert the same into GST ?
