GST on E-commerce

I am going to launch my own e-commerce application and just want to sell my own products as a vendor, bought from a dealer. Do I need any GST number when my dealer already has paid the GST? My annual turnover is less than Rs.20 lakhs.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST registration requirements for e-commerce vendors selling their own products in India. If your annual turnover is below Rs. 20 lakhs (or Rs. 40 lakhs in certain states for goods), and you are only selling your own products through your own application, you generally do not need a GST number. Mandatory registration is typically for e-commerce operators facilitating sales for others or those making inter-state supplies.

[vii] persons who make taxable supply of goods or services or both on behalf of other taxable persons whether as an agent or otherwise;

[viii] Input Service Distributor, whether or not separately registered under this Act;

[ix] persons who supply goods or services or both, other than supplies specified under sub-section [5] of Section 9, through such electronic commerce operator who is required to collect tax at source under Section 52



I think you don't need registration still you should see weather above provisions affects you
According to Section 24(a) of CGST Act, 2017, Person is required to obtain registration irrespective of turnover if persons make inter state supply. hence your registration will become mandatory.
My business is only for entra-state.
It is not required to get Registration because you are not covered under E-commerce entity.
Thank you ..sir

If you are conducting a business which requires a digital platform you're a e-commerce operator, although, unless you sell goods/services of another person and collect amounts through your platform, you need not deduct TCS. 

The mandatory requirement u/s 24 for e-commerce operator who is required to deduct TCS is there, notification 65/2017-CT was later released to ease the registration, and limit was brought in upto Rs. 20 lakh. (subject to certain e-commerce services, not the one mentioned in the question). 

Hope it is clear.

Sir, I just want to sell my own products not else.
please tell me have I need any gst number for running my business through a application.

If below Rs. 20 lakh not required. If purely supply of goods then Rs. 40 lakh limit available in the majority of the States in India. 

The application is also owned my me.

No issues, you may be called an e-commerce operator but not liable to deduct TCS, so the mandatory registration and notification does not apply to you. 

Ex: Dominos - they have their own app for selling pizza, but need not deduct TCS. They would require to register based on turnover limits applicable for regular assessees. 

40 lakh limit States - Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Delhi, Bihar, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Goa, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, J&K, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal

Thank you so much sir for your kindly reply.

No not applicable to Kerala. 20lakhs would be limit there.
