GST Registration for E-commerce Sellers
Get the GSTIN you need to sell on Amazon India, Flipkart and other online marketplaces, with help setting up GST returns afterwards.
If you sell online through Amazon India, Flipkart, Meesho or a similar marketplace, you will usually be asked for a GSTIN before you can list taxable products. Without it, your seller account may be restricted and you could stop receiving orders.
Why it matters for online sellers
Marketplaces are required to collect Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on the sales they process and report it against your GSTIN. If your GSTIN is missing or wrong in your seller account, you may not be able to use that credit. Online sellers also need to think about where their stock is stored, because warehouses and fulfilment centres can affect your registration.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need GST registration to sell on Amazon or Flipkart?
Marketplaces generally ask sellers of taxable goods for a GSTIN before they can list. The rules for small sellers and certain categories have changed over time, so check your marketplace's current seller requirements or ask us.
What is TCS on e-commerce sales?
E-commerce operators are required to collect a small percentage of the net taxable value of sales made through them as Tax Collected at Source (TCS) and deposit it with the government. As a registered seller, you can use this amount against your own GST liability.
My stock is in an Amazon or Flipkart warehouse in another state. Does that matter?
Yes. A warehouse or fulfilment centre where your goods are stored may need to be added to your registration, and storing stock in another state may need a separate registration there. We will look at your set-up and advise you.
Do I still need to file GST returns if the marketplace collects TCS?
Yes. TCS does not replace your own returns. You still need to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and we can handle that for you through our GST return filing service.
