If you are running a driving school and the PAN under which this business is being run is having a aggregate business/services turnover of more than 40 Lakhs then you have to register yourself under GST. Further, the gst paid by you shall be eligible for ITC after taking the GST registration and shall be adjusted against the GST collected by you from your customers. Hope it clears your thoughts.
