Before starting with GST for E-Commerce Sellers — the specific GST obligations that apply to businesses selling through online marketplaces — it helps to have everything ready in advance. Here's the checklist relevant to anyone selling goods or services via e-commerce platforms.
The Checklist
✓ GST registration regardless of turnover, where mandated for online sellers
✓ Details of all platforms you sell through
✓ Reconciliation of TCS deducted by the platform against your returns
✓ Correct HSN/SAC classification for listed products
✓ Invoicing compliant with GST rules for online sales
✓ Records of platform commission and related expenses
Why Preparation Matters
Missing or incomplete documentation is one of the most common reasons applications get delayed with GST provisions specific to e-commerce operators and sellers. Having this list ready before you begin can meaningfully speed up the process.
Once You Have Everything Ready
- Register for GST before listing on a marketplace, if mandated
- Provide correct GSTIN details to each platform
- Reconcile TCS credited by the platform each period
- File returns reflecting sales made through all platforms
