There can be multiple GSTINs for a single person with a PAN, being an assessee under the Income Tax Act. A GSTIN is obtained for every state or Union Territory from which such a person operates. It becomes compulsory to obtain GSTIN when the person crosses the threshold limit for GST registration by registering himself under GST.
Unlike the previous indirect tax regime where multiple registration numbers were present for different laws such as Excise, Service Tax and VAT, GSTIN is a single registration number under GST.

GST registration is mandatory in most states for businesses having an aggregate annual turnover of more than Rs.40 lakhs per year.
In addition to the aggregate turnover criteria, businesses involved in import or export, interstate supply, ecommerce and other such conditions are required to obtain GST registration mandatorily irrespective of annual aggregate turnover.
