To simplify the GST compliance for small businesses, CGST Act provides for "Composition Levy". Composition scheme is a simple and easy scheme under GST for small business owners. Small taxpayers can take advantage of this scheme. In this scheme, dealers are liable to pay GST at a fixed prescribed rate of turnover/sales.

Manufacturers & Traders | Upto INR 1.50 Crores | Upto INR 1.50 Crores |
Restaurants not serving alcohol | Upto INR 1.50 Crores | Upto INR 1.50 Crores |
Service providers | Upto INR 50 Lacs | Upto INR 50 Lacs |
For excess turnover, dealers will be liable to pay GST at regular rate.
