Quick Answer: A tailoring business providing only stitching services registers for GST once turnover crosses ₹20 lakh. A boutique selling finished garments registers at ₹40 lakh. If you do both, the lower ₹20 lakh services threshold generally applies to your combined turnover. SetupFiling.in files your registration at ₹999 onwards, GSTIN in 24–72 hours.
Why Boutiques and Tailors Face Two Different GST Thresholds
This is the single most common point of confusion in the tailoring trade, and it comes down to one distinction. When a customer brings their own fabric and you stitch it, you're supplying a service — and the GST registration threshold for services is ₹20 lakh. When you sell a finished, ready-to-wear outfit from your own material, you're supplying goods — and that threshold is ₹40 lakh. Most boutiques do both under one roof, which means the lower services threshold generally becomes the one that matters for combined turnover. Add in different tax rates for stitching charges versus garment sales, and the SAC-versus-HSN coding split on your invoices, and a generic registration set up for a "shop" tends to get it wrong. GST Registration services across India from SetupFiling.in are filed around how your boutique actually earns.
SetupFiling.in is founded by practising Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, and Trademark Attorneys with 15+ years of combined experience, and we have already helped 12,000+ entrepreneurs and 50,000+ customers across India register and stay compliant.
Stitching Services vs Selling Finished Garments — How GST Differs
| Basis | Stitching / Tailoring Service | Selling Finished Garments |
|---|---|---|
| Nature of supply | Supply of service (customer's fabric) | Supply of goods (your own material) |
| Registration threshold | ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special category states) | ₹40 lakh |
| Classification code | SAC code for tailoring services | HSN code for apparel (Chapters 61 & 62) |
| Typical GST rate | 5% on job-work stitching for the textile sector; 18% for standalone tailoring services | 5% for garments priced below the prescribed value; 12% above it |
Rates depend on whether you're doing registered job work for a textile manufacturer or retail stitching for individual customers, and on the per-piece sale value of finished garments. Confirm the rate applicable to your exact mix with our team, as GST Council slabs are periodically revised.

Benefits of GST Registration for Boutiques & Tailors
- Sell on marketplaces: A GSTIN is mandatory before listing on Myntra, Ajio, Amazon, or other platforms.
- Claim input tax credit: Offset GST paid on fabric, trims, threads, and stitching machines against your output tax.
- Win bulk and uniform orders: Schools, hotels, and corporates require GST-compliant invoices before placing bulk orders.
- Take job work from exporters: Registered textile manufacturers and exporters generally prefer GST-registered job-work partners.
- Invoice both streams cleanly: Correct SAC and HSN coding keeps stitching income and garment sales properly separated in your returns.
- Avoid penalties: Registering on time avoids interest and late-fee exposure under the CGST Act.

Frequently Asked Questions — GST Registration for Boutique & Tailoring
Is GST registration mandatory for a tailoring business?
Yes, once turnover crosses the applicable threshold — ₹20 lakh if you mainly provide stitching services, or ₹40 lakh if you mainly sell finished garments. Registration is required immediately if you sell through an online marketplace or supply to other states.
Is stitching treated as goods or services under GST?
Stitching a customer's own fabric is a supply of services, classified under a SAC code. Selling a finished garment made from your own material is a supply of goods, classified under an HSN code.
What GST rate applies to stitching charges?
Job-work stitching for the registered textile sector generally attracts 5%, while standalone retail tailoring services are typically taxed at 18%. The applicable rate depends on who your customer is.
What GST rate applies to readymade garments?
Garments are generally taxed at 5% below a prescribed per-piece sale value and 12% above it. Confirm the current value threshold with our team, as it is periodically revised.
Which threshold applies if I both stitch and sell garments?
When a business supplies both goods and services, the lower ₹20 lakh services threshold generally applies to combined turnover. This catches many boutiques who assumed only the ₹40 lakh goods limit was relevant.
Do I need GST registration to sell clothes on Myntra or Instagram?
Selling through an e-commerce marketplace like Myntra, Ajio, or Amazon requires GST registration regardless of turnover. Selling directly via Instagram or WhatsApp without a marketplace only requires registration once you cross the threshold.
Can a home-based boutique get GST registration?
Yes. A residential address can be used as your principal place of business, supported by an electricity bill and an NOC from the property owner if the premises are rented.

GST registration with SetupFiling.in starts at ₹999 for the Silver package. The Gold package (registration + 6 months of returns) costs ₹1,999, and the Premium package (registration + 12 months of returns) costs ₹3,699.
