The two thresholds shown are the ones that actually change how you bill: GST registration becomes compulsory for a goods supplier in Maharashtra above ₹40 lakh aggregate turnover, and the composition scheme (1% of turnover, no input credit, no tax invoice) is available up to ₹1.5 crore. Break-even here is cash break-even on gross profit — it ignores depreciation, tax and the repayment of any loan principal. If you are borrowing, add the EMI to your monthly fixed cost.
