GST, FSSAI and marketplace onboarding, handled together

Selling on Amazon, Flipkart or your own storefront brings GST registration, e-invoicing and FSSAI licensing requirements that are easy to miss until a marketplace blocks your listing.

Key requirements

• GST registration (Registration) — Mandatory for all e-commerce sellers regardless of turnover, per Section 24 of the CGST Act.
• FSSAI registration/licence (Licence) — Required if selling any food or food-adjacent product, even through a marketplace.
• TCS under GST (Section 52) (Compliance) — Marketplaces deduct 1% TCS on your sales — reconcile this against GSTR-8 each month.
• E-invoicing (if above threshold) (Compliance) — IRN generation becomes mandatory once turnover crosses the notified e-invoicing threshold.
