# Intimation of Opting for Composition Levy
## Two scenarios
### (i) New registrant
- Opt for composition in Part B of FORM GST REG-01 at the time of applying for registration.
- Effective from: the date registration is granted.
### (ii) Existing registered person
- File intimation electronically on the GST portal before the commencement of the FY for which the option is exercised.
- Furnish statement as per Rule 44(4) within 60 days from the commencement of the relevant FY (intimating ITC reversal on stock).
