If an assessee availed voluntary registration then the assessee will collect and pay gst as per normal gst registered assessed and also comply all return filing monthly as well as annually.

A person though not liable to be registered under schedule V, may get himself voluntarily registered and all the provisions of this act as are applicable to a registered person, shall apply to such person. Yes. U will have to charge and pay gst. And if you want exemption then don't register yourself voluntarily

Once registered required to pay GST whether collected or not.

It is advisable for the small assessee to apply for registration as soon as he crosses.Rs.20 lakhs [ Law requires that once liable he needto apply within 30 days) There is a period in which he can continue to issue normal invoices including the GST payable. Say he is selling goods for 1180 then he can do the same. Once he gets registration from an effective date he can then raise revised invoices mentioning 1000 + IGST 180. He would also be eligible for credit.

However if delayed to register, it appears that he would lose the credit.

If your aggregate turnover exceeds 20lakhs then you need to take registration. Also if you provide interstate service you need to take mandatory registration under gst

Dear sir, For FY1718, turnover was Rs 24 lakh. Registration took in Sept 2018. Whether I am liable to pay GST on Rs 4 laksh or Rs 24 lakh. There is an interpretation that 20 lakh limit is for registration and not for taxability and GST to be paid on full 24 What is your opinion on this sir?
