GST registration for an e-commerce business means getting a 15-digit GST Identification Number (GSTIN) so you can legally sell goods or services online. Most online sellers who sell to other states, or who sell on platforms like Amazon, Flipkart or Meesho, need a GSTIN. It lets you charge GST, issue tax invoices and claim input tax credit on your purchases.

At CA Arpit Gupta, we help online sellers get their GST registration done quickly and correctly. 

What is GST Registration for E-commerce Business?

When you sell products or services through a website, a mobile app or a marketplace, GST rules apply to you just like any shop owner. The government gives you a GSTIN after you apply on the GST Portal. This number is linked to your PAN and your state.
