What it is
NRTP GSTIN, explained in plain English.
Under Section 24 of the CGST Act, a non-resident person making taxable supplies in India must register before commencing business, irrespective of turnover. Unlike CTP, NRTP uses Form REG-09 and identifies an authorised signatory resident in India.
TL;DR
Foreign supplier doing business in India = mandatory NRTP. REG-09 + advance tax + Indian signatory + 90-day validity.
