What is the GST Composition Scheme?

The GST Composition Scheme is a simple tax option for small businesses. Instead of paying GST on every sale at the normal rate, a composition dealer pays a fixed small percentage of total turnover. 

The compliance is also lighter. A regular taxpayer files 3 returns every month or quarter, but a composition dealer has only two forms to handle in a year: CMP-08 every quarter and GSTR-4 once a year.

Who Can Opt for the GST Return Composition Scheme?

For some special category states, the turnover limit for goods is Rs. 75 lakh. Check the latest limit for your state before you opt in.
