GST Registration means allotment of a GST Number or GSTIN to the taxpayer who is liable to collect and pay tax to the government after claiming the credit of input tax paid on purchases. When the GST Officer approves the application for registration, the GST Department issues a unique GSTIN to the taxpayer. The Department does not issue a physical certificate of registration. The taxpayer can download his certificate of registration from his account on the GST Portal.

Once the GST officer processes the registration, the taxpayer will receive an email with GSTIN and first-time login credentials. Using these credentials, the taxpayer can log in to the GST Portal and download registration certificate.
Once the taxpayer submits an application for registration, the tax officer responds to it within 7 working days. However, if the application is successfully processed, the GST Department sends GSTIN and first-time login credentials to the registered email. If the tax officer needs additional information, details of the same are communicated on registered email. The application is processed only once the taxpayer provides additional details and documents.

Hey @HarshitShah
GST Registration is the application for GST Number or GSTIN(GST Identification Number). Under the GST(Goods and Service Tax) Regime, it is mandatory for to have GSTIN to collect, pay GST and claim the Input Tax credit.
For GST registration, the dealer has the following options:
Voluntary Registration: The business does not have the liability to register under GST, however, can apply for GST Registration. This usually is when the businesses are willing to take advantage of the Input Tax Credit facility
Registration under Composition Scheme: Composition scheme is a voluntary and optional scheme for registering under GST. Under the composition scheme, the compliance is simpler and lesser returns are to be filed. The tax is to be filed at a fixed rate. If the business turnover is in between INR 40 Lakhs and 1.5 Crores, they can opt for GST Registration under Composition Scheme
No Registration: In the case, when your business does not fall under the conditions for compulsory registration you do not require GST Registration
Hope this helps!
