GST Registration of online gaming Company

What firms have been established, and how do we register them for GST? Although you can file for company registration at the time of incorporation, it is recommended that you first open a bank account for the business, deposit some money into it, and then apply for a separate GST registration as needed. If your revenue is less than the threshold of 20 lakh rupees, you do not need to apply. However, if you want to get a GST number, you can do so. Doing so will also enable you to claim an input tax credit on the GST you paid if you are purchasing and paying for marketing, advertising, etc., or paying for expenses related to the development of an app, or any other expenses, such as those pertaining to the development of the app.
