Quick Summary

If you're already GST registered and want to sell online, the requirements depend on your sales channel. Selling through platforms like Amazon or Flipkart means your existing GST registration is sufficient. However, if you plan to run your own e-commerce website, you'll need a specific e-commerce seller registration. For entirely new business verticals sold via third-party platforms, you can obtain a separate GSTIN within the same state, but it won't be an e-commerce specific one.

If your sales are routed through other e-commerce operators like amazon, flipkart etc, then your existing registration itself is sufficient. But if you are doing it through your own e-commerce platform, then you have to obtain e-commerce registration.

If you are going to start a new product/service belonging to a complete different business vertical, but through e-commerce platform owned by others, then you can obtain different GSTIN within same state but it will be a regular registration and not e-commerce GSTIN.

But if you are going to start an e-commerce platform for showcasing and selling your existing or new product/service as well as outsiders products then you need to obtain e-commerce GSTIN.
