E commerce selling


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
Starting an e-commerce business selling handbags from home requires GST registration to list on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart. You can register using your residential address, whether owned or rented, with the relevant electricity bill or rental agreement as proof. Additionally, be aware that certain other legal formalities, such as potentially classifying a part of your home as commercial for electricity or tax purposes, might also apply.

24 March 2022 I want to start selling ladies handbags online from my home as a start up with few items by purchasing locally without purchase bills so i need gst number for many sites as amazon, flipkart and etc but is there any other law applicable as electricity meter as commercial meter , house tax as commercial or any other legal formalities.
plz guide

24 March 2022 Register under GST from your house.
If you own the house the electricity bill of your house is sufficient to prove you own the house.
In case of rented house rental agreement is required.

24 March 2022 GST registration is mandatory for e-commerce sellers who want to register with Amazon, Flipkart etc.

You can register even with your residential address whether owned or rented.
