What it means in practice
GST Registration is a central regulation that applies uniformly across India, including Gujarat. In Gujarat, the day-to-day administering authority and the office where filings are submitted will be the Gujarat 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.
