Companies whose turnover is more than Rs. 20 lakhs for the supply of services
Companies whose turnover is more than Rs. 40 lakhs for the supply of goods,
All businesses making interstate outward supplies of goods
Businesses making taxable supplies on behalf of other taxable persons, like agents and brokers.
