Selling on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho or other marketplaces? Here's everything you need to know about GST compliance for e-commerce sellers in India.

Do E-Commerce Sellers Need GST?

Yes. E-commerce sellers must have GST registration regardless of turnover. The marketplace is required to collect TCS (Tax Collected at Source) at 1% (0.5% CGST + 0.5% SGST) on every sale.

Key Compliance Points

• GST registration is mandatory (no threshold exemption)
• Marketplace collects 1% TCS and deposits with government
• File GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B regularly
• Claim ITC on TCS collected by marketplace
• Issue invoices to marketplace or customers as applicable

Check your marketplace tax reports monthly and reconcile with your GST returns.
