Hello,

Suppose if I want to sell some product on the ecommerce website for e.g Amazon, Flipkart or Snapdeal etc..But I am not a manufacturer instead I am a reseller (i.e I want to purchase product for cheap from somewhere else and resell it on the ecommerce site by adding small margin).

But on the above mentioned ecommerece websites filing of GSTN number is mandatory in order to register as seller.

So do I need to obtain GSTN number and have to apply for it even if I am a reseller(new one) and my turnover is zero as reseller (I am beginner).

Kindly let me know.

Thanking you.

Hi Mr. Ninad Avasare,

As per section 24 of CGST Act, 2017, a person who supply goods or services or both, other than supplies specified under sub-section (5) of section 9, through such electronic commerce operator( Like Amazon, Flipkart..etc) who is required to collect tax at source under section 52 shall, mandatorily get registered under GST Law irrespetive of their turnover.

This makes small suppliers bringind within the tax bracket.

So, it is compusory for u to get registered under GST Law.
