A Complete Guide to GST Registration for E-Commerce Startups

Why E-Commerce Sellers Need GST

Under the GST regime, if you are selling goods through an e-commerce operator, you are required to register for GST irrespective of your aggregate turnover. This is a significant deviation from the normal rule where businesses with a turnover below the threshold limit (₹40 Lakhs/₹20 Lakhs) are exempt.

Key Compliance Requirements:

• TCS (Tax Collected at Source): E-commerce platforms will deduct 1% TCS before remitting payments to you.
• GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B: Regular monthly/quarterly filings are mandatory.
• E-Way Bills: Required for the movement of goods exceeding ₹50,000 in value.
