Do Amazon and Flipkart sellers need to register for GST?

Yes — every e-commerce seller on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, or any marketplace must register for GST, regardless of turnover. This is mandatory under Section 24 of the CGST Act. The normal ₹40 lakh turnover threshold does not apply to marketplace sellers.

What is GSTR-3B and when is it due each month?

GSTR-3B is the monthly summary return where you declare your net tax liability and claim Input Tax Credit. For monthly filers it is due by the 20th of the following month. Sellers under the QRMP scheme (quarterly, turnover ≤ ₹5 crore) file by the 22nd or 24th depending on their state.

What is Input Tax Credit (ITC) and can online sellers claim it?

ITC lets you offset GST paid on business purchases against GST collected on sales, reducing your net tax liability. E-commerce sellers can claim ITC on inventory, logistics, packaging, and business services. ITC is blocked on personal-use goods and items used for exempt supplies.

What is the GST turnover limit for goods sellers in India?

The mandatory GST registration threshold is ₹40 lakh annual turnover for goods sellers (₹20 lakh for services, ₹10 lakh in special category states). However, if you sell on any marketplace — Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, etc. — you must register for GST even if your turnover is below these limits.

What happens if I miss a GST return filing deadline?

Late filing attracts a penalty of ₹50/day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) for non-nil returns, capped at ₹5,000. Nil returns incur ₹20/day. Interest at 18% per annum applies on any unpaid tax. Use our GST Late Fee Calculator to compute your exact liability.

Do I need to register every Blinkit or Zepto dark store separately under GST?

Yes. Quick-commerce platforms fulfil orders through networks of dark stores across cities, and under GST law, every location where your goods are physically stocked counts as a place of business. Each one needs to be added as an Additional Place of Business (APOB) to your existing GSTIN in that state — supplying from an unregistered dark store can block Input Tax Credit tied to that location and create exposure in a GST audit.

Should I reconcile Input Tax Credit against GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B?

GSTR-2B. It's a static, once-a-month snapshot frozen on the 14th, and since Rule 36(4) restrictions were tightened, the GST portal auto-populates your GSTR-3B ITC claim from GSTR-2B, not the continuously-updating GSTR-2A. Any ITC claimed beyond what appears in that period's GSTR-2B — including credit across multiple marketplace accounts — is likely to get flagged, regardless of what shows up in GSTR-2A later.
