About This Health Check
This 10-question assessment covers the most common GST compliance gaps for Indian e-commerce sellers — from basic registration and timely filing to ITC reconciliation and TCS credit claims.
Why GST Compliance Matters for E-commerce Sellers
E-commerce sellers face stricter GST requirements than offline businesses:
- Mandatory GST registration — no turnover threshold exemption for marketplace sellers
- TCS deduction — marketplaces deduct 1% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) from every payment; you must claim this back in GSTR-3B Table 8 or lose it
- GSTR-2B reconciliation — if your purchase ITC doesn't match GSTR-2B, the excess gets disallowed automatically under Rule 36(4)
- Monthly filing — unlike offline businesses that may qualify for quarterly filing, most marketplace sellers must file monthly
The Cost of Non-Compliance
| Issue | Penalty |
|---|---|
| Late GSTR-1 | ₹50/day (₹20/day for NIL returns) |
| Late GSTR-3B | ₹50/day + 18% annual interest on tax due |
| Non-filing | Notice + potential cancellation of registration |
| Unclaimed TCS | Lost money (1% of marketplace sales, permanently) |
| ITC mismatch | Disallowance + 18% interest on disallowed amount |
