Is gst mandatory for current account

No, GST is not mandatory to open a current account. Many banks allow individuals and sole proprietors to open a current account using other business proofs. However, for registered business entities like Companies or LLPs, or businesses exceeding the prescribed turnover threshold (typically ₹40 lakhs for goods and ₹20 lakhs for services), GST registration becomes a legal requirement. Having a GST number can also simplify the bank's KYC process and provide business legitimacy. If you are not yet registered, you can often open the account and update the GST details later.
