What it means in practice
GST Registration is a central regulation that applies uniformly across India, including Andaman & Nicobar Islands. In Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the day-to-day administering authority and the office where filings are submitted will be the Andaman & Nicobar Islands State GST Department alongside the central jurisdictional CGST officer.
Yarn (HSN 5205–5207) and woven fabric (HSN 5208–5212) attract 5% GST; ITC accumulation is common for weavers — registration early avoids working capital lock-in.
