This discussion clarifies GST rules for e-commerce operators. As an operator, you'll need to register and collect Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on sales from registered vendors. Vendors selling goods within the same state can remain unregistered if below the threshold, provided they have an enrolment ID. Service vendors below £20 lakh are exempt from GST.

I want to start the business as e commerce opertor. I will register the vendor on my site and the products will be choosen by the customer and will be deliverd as per the details of the customer. I will collect the amount and remit the balance deducting my commission.my concern is all the vendors are with in the same state. The vender should be registerd and unregisterd persons are there. What was the GST applicability in both registerd and unregisterd case?
