Why the Tricity is Different for GST
Operating across Mohali, Chandigarh, and Panchkula requires careful navigation of state borders.
Inter-State Supply Applies (IGST)
Billing from Mohali (Punjab) to a client in Chandigarh or Panchkula is an inter-state supply. You must charge Integrated GST (IGST), never CGST + SGST.
Service Provider Turnover Threshold
Under Notification No. 10/2017-Integrated Tax, service providers supplying across Tricity borders are exempt from mandatory GST registration until total turnover exceeds ₹20 Lakhs.
Chandigarh Charges CGST + UTGST
Because Chandigarh is a Union Territory without a state legislature, local supplies within Chandigarh attract CGST + UTGST under State Code 04, rather than SGST.
Separate GSTIN Required per State/UT
If your firm operates physical offices or warehouses in both Mohali and Chandigarh, you cannot use one registration. A distinct GSTIN is legally mandated for each state/UT.
| Town | State / UT | GST Code | Tax on Local Sales | Tax on Sales to Other Two |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohali, Zirakpur, Kharar | Punjab | 03 | CGST + SGST | IGST (Inter-State) |
| Chandigarh | Union Territory | 04 | CGST + UTGST | IGST (Inter-State) |
| Panchkula | Haryana | 06 | CGST + SGST | IGST (Inter-State) |

Frequently Asked Questions on Tricity Compliance
Why is GST billing different between Mohali, Chandigarh, and Panchkula?
Even though Mohali, Chandigarh, and Panchkula form a continuous metropolitan area (the Tricity), they belong to three distinct tax jurisdictions: Mohali is in Punjab (Code 03), Chandigarh is an independently administered Union Territory (Code 04), and Panchkula is in Haryana (Code 06). Any supply of goods or services between them is legally an inter-state supply requiring Integrated GST (IGST), not CGST+SGST.
Can a Mohali IT firm open an office in Chandigarh under its existing Punjab GSTIN?
No. Under Section 25 of the CGST Act, GST registration is jurisdiction-specific. If your business has a physical place of business, branch office, or stock inventory in Chandigarh, you must obtain a separate GSTIN under Chandigarh UT (State Code 04).
Do cross-border service providers in the Tricity need immediate GST registration?
Under Notification No. 10/2017-Integrated Tax, service providers making inter-state supplies (for example, a Mohali digital marketer billing a Chandigarh client) are exempt from compulsory registration if their aggregate annual turnover remains below ₹20 Lakhs. For suppliers of goods, however, inter-state supply triggers mandatory GST registration regardless of turnover.
What tax applies on local retail sales within Chandigarh?
Because Chandigarh is a Union Territory without a state legislature, intra-Chandigarh sales attract Central GST (CGST) plus Union Territory GST (UTGST), charged at the exact same percentage rates as CGST + SGST.
Can Kinsmen assist Tricity startups with DPIIT recognition and Section 80-IAC tax holidays?
