Hello Sir,
Your CA is correct.
The increased limit is applicable only for sale of goods. For service providers limit continues to be Rs 20 lakh.
Hi, I work as a consultant with a private firm. The nature of consultancy is Program Management. I understand that the GST exemption limits have been enhanced to 40 lakh for goods this year. Is the same also applicable for consultancy fees? My company says the limit is 40 lakhs and my CA says its 20 lakhs. Which is right? Can someone also share the relevant document stating this - so that it would be easier to sort this confusion
Hello Sir,
Your CA is correct.
The increased limit is applicable only for sale of goods. For service providers limit continues to be Rs 20 lakh.
Hello,
The limit for taking GST registration for a service provider is Rs. 20 Lakhs. The limit was increased for supplies of goods only up to Rs. 40 Lakhs through Notification No. 10/2019-Central Tax. You can verify the notification which specifically states the limit is set for a person "who is engaged in exclusive supply of goods".
I hope that this answer satisfies your requirements.

Hi
Your CA is correct. Enhanced limit is only available for supplier of goods.
For supplier of services, it is 20 lacs only.
Refer to Notification 10/2019 - Central Tax.
Dear Sir,
Hope you are doing well !!
Your CA's understanding is absolutely correct.
Notification No. 10/2019-Central Tax:
The enhanced limit is only applicable for supplier of goods.
The threshold for registration for service providers is Rs 20 lakhs only.

Yes, it is confirmed hereby. Please verify the same in the notification specified in the above answer.
Yes, it is 20 lakh for service providers.
You can check the same with Notification No. 10/2019-Central Tax.
Since you are providing services the limit applicable is Rs. 20 lakh and not Rs. 40 lakh.
