If your business provides digital services to customers in India, you may need OIDAR Registration in India. This special GST registration applies to Online Information and Database Access or Retrieval (OIDAR) service providers; businesses that deliver content, software or other digital services over the internet. Registering ensures legal compliance and enables you to serve Indian customers without risk of penalties.
What is OIDAR Registration? OIDAR stands for Online Information and Database Access or Retrieval. Under the GST law it refers to any service delivered electronically like streaming music, cloud computing or downloadable software, where the supply is automated and there is little human intervention. OIDAR registration is mandatory for domestic and foreign service providers supplying such digital services to Indian residents, regardless of turnover. It ensures the proper collection of Integrated GST (IGST) and creates a level playing field between Indian and overseas businesses.
