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.

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:

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
