AI Summary

Distinct establishment under GST triggers registration where goods are assembled out of state before onward supply to buyer. A buyer's godown used for receipt and assembly of parts is a distinct establishment under GST; assembly performed there by the buyer's staff constitutes an in state supply operation and therefore requires the buyer to obtain GST registration in that state, notwithstanding billing as 'bill to, ship to' or movement under delivery challan.
