Dear Sir,
Pl. go through Q.No.18 of FAQ published published by CBEC in the newspaper dated 28.6.2017 which is as under:-
Q.No. If I register voluntarily though turnover is less than 20 lakhs, am I required to pay tax from First supply I make post GST registration ?
Ans. Yes, you would be treated as normal taxable person.
Board has also given Disclaimer : Replies are only for educational and guidance purpose and do not hold any legal validity. This denies threshold exemption but at the same Board says it has no legal validity.
This makes situation fluid. It needs clarification from Board. However, logically as well as legally threshold exemption below turnover of ₹ 20,00,000/- is substantive right of the assessee.
