Can a GST registered business receive inventory in a state where his GST is not registered?

I am GST registered in Maharashtra but temporarily shifted to Karnataka. Can I ask my supplier to send inventory to KA (where I temporarily store it for inspection) later I send it to Amazon warehouse in MH where the actual sale happens. Is this fine in terms of GST compliance? Or will cause any trouble?

Whenever you send goods from your KA warehouse to MH Amazon the place of supply will be KA, and hence registration in KA is mandatory.

Since you are GST-registered in Maharashtra, you are required to comply with GST regulations for all your business activities. Temporary Storage in Karnataka In your scenario:

 1. _Goods are stored temporarily in Karnataka_: You are storing goods in Karnataka for inspection purposes.

2. _Goods are later sent to Amazon warehouse in Maharashtra_: The goods are ultimately sold from the Amazon warehouse in Maharashtra. GST Compliance To ensure GST compliance:

 1. _Obtain a temporary warehouse registration in Karnataka (if required)_: If you plan to store goods in Karnataka for an extended period, you might need to obtain a temporary warehouse registration.

2. _Maintain accurate records_: Keep accurate records of the goods stored in Karnataka, including the dates of storage and dispatch to Maharashtra.

3. _Comply with e-way bill requirements_: Ensure you comply with e-way bill requirements for the movement of goods from Karnataka to Maharashtra.

4. _Report the transactions correctly in GSTR-3B and GSTR-1_: Report the transactions correctly in your GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 returns, including the details of goods stored in Karnataka and sold from Maharashtra.

Additional Tips

 1. _Consult a tax professional_: If you're unsure about GST compliance or have specific questions, consider consulting a tax professional.

2. _Verify Karnataka warehouse registration requirements_: Confirm with the Karnataka tax authorities whether a temporary warehouse registration is required.
