Hello,
I hope all are doing well.
I want to start a online grocery business in a city. We don't have any physical presence of office or headquarter as is it startup. We will deliver groceries from near by shop. As we will deliver from near by shop, so we need to invest only for advertisement, it will not big amount.
So, in this case, do I need to register my business and get GSTIN?
If yes, then please explain the process of registeration and to get GSTIN.
Thank you
Online Grocery Businesses: GST Registration May Be Required Under Section 24 for Intermediaries Without Physical Offices. An individual inquired about the necessity of registering an online grocery business and obtaining a GSTIN, given the business lacks a physical office and operates by delivering groceries from local shops. Responses indicated that registration depends on factors such as the business model (intermediary or direct seller), the threshold limit for GST registration, and the need for a permanent address and KYC documents. It was emphasized that acting as an intermediary may require compulsory registration under Section 24 of the CGST Act. Another participant sought advice for a similar multivendor grocery e-commerce venture. (AI Summary)
