GST registration in Hyderabad

Which authority registers a Hyderabad business for GST

The Commercial Taxes Department, Government of Telangana does, at tgct.gov.in. Your Hyderabad GSTIN is a Telangana registration, taken against the place of business you declare.

The thresholds are ₹20 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services. Telangana is not a special category state, but it did not adopt the higher ₹40 lakh limit for goods under Notification 10/2019-Central Tax, so a Telangana supplier of goods registers at ₹20 lakh, not ₹40 lakh. Registration is compulsory regardless of turnover if you make inter-state supplies of goods or supply through an e-commerce operator, which is most Hyderabad software and pharma businesses from their first invoice.

We do not name a central GST commissionerate or zone for Hyderabad. The CBIC list was not reachable, so no page in this project publishes one, and a commissionerate name you cannot verify is worse than none.

The rest of the Telangana layer, and why one department covers two registrations

The same department runs your professional tax. The Commercial Taxes Department administers professional tax under the Telangana Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1987, and new registrations, payments and return filing run on the department's own module at ptax.tgct.gov.in, reached from the Profession Tax tab on tgct.gov.in. So the state authority you deal with for GST is the same one you deal with for professional tax, which is a small convenience worth knowing when you set up your logins.

Telangana has two professional tax obligations: registration as an employer, if you deduct professional tax from salaries, and enrolment for the business or professional in its own right. Those are Telangana's own words. PTEC and PTRC are Maharashtra's labels and Telangana does not use them, so a Telangana form you are handed with PTEC on it has come from the wrong state.

We do not publish Telangana slab figures. The Act, the department and the module are officially sourced; the Schedule itself was not retrievable. Professional tax is capped at ₹2,500 per person per year by Article 276(2) of the Constitution, and we confirm your actual liability from the current Schedule when we register you.

Shops and establishments. A Hyderabad establishment registers under the Telangana Shops and Establishments Act, 1988 (Act No. 20 of 1988), with the Telangana Shops and Establishments Rules, 1990, administered by the Labour Department at labour.telangana.gov.in. It is a registration, not an intimation: unlike a small Maharashtra establishment, a small Telangana one does register. We do not publish the fee, which is not verified.

Hyderabad has three municipal corporations now, not one. In February 2026 Telangana reorganised the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation into GHMC with 150 wards, Cyberabad Municipal Corporation with 76 wards and Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation with 74 wards, taking effect around 12 February 2026 when the GHMC council's term expired.

Be precise about what that means. GHMC was not abolished: it survives with a smaller jurisdiction. But it no longer covers the whole city, so a Gachibowli or Madhapur premises may now sit under Cyberabad. None of this changes your GSTIN, which is a state registration. It changes which corporation issues any municipal licence your activity needs, and which one you deal with on premises matters. We confirm the corporation against your address rather than publish a ward map, because the ward-to-corporation mapping is not verified.

TS-iPASS, Telangana's single-window industrial approval system at ipass.telangana.gov.in, is where an approval your activity needs is likely to be routed.

The four labour codes came into force on 21 November 2025, and a factory in Telangana is now regulated under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 rather than the Factories Act. For a formulations or API unit around Hyderabad, that is the code your plant answers to.

What a Hyderabad business usually needs alongside a GSTIN

The Telangana professional tax registration and enrolment described above, on the same department's portal. Registration under the 1988 Shops Act with the Labour Department. A Udyam registration in Hyderabad if you want MSME standing for payment-delay protection. A branded product usually means trademark registration in Hyderabad as well.

If you are incorporating at the same time, note one point of stability: ROC Hyderabad was not changed by the 2026 reorganisation of Registrar offices, and neither was the Regional Director at Hyderabad. See company registration in Hyderabad. And because an unfiled GSTIN gets suspended, GST return filing starts the month after the certificate arrives.

How Regikart serves Hyderabad

We do not have an office in Hyderabad. Regikart's offices are Kolkata (head office), Delhi and Bengaluru, and Hyderabad work is done remotely from one of them. Documents come by WhatsApp or email on +91 70444 94804 or [email protected], Aadhaar e-KYC is completed by OTP, and REG-01 is filed on the GST portal, so there is nothing to hand in anywhere. Our Bengaluru office is in Karnataka, a different GST state: it does not give you a Telangana place of business, and it cannot be used as one.
