A Virtual Place of Business (VPOB) is a verified commercial address you can use to register GST in a state where you don't have a physical office. It's the standard, legal way for e-commerce sellers and startups to get a state GSTIN without signing an expensive lease.

What you get with a VPOB

A VPOB is for getting the GSTIN. If you also need to store stock in a warehouse or Amazon/Flipkart centre, you add that as an APOB.

What a VPOB costs in India

Pricing is usually monthly per state. As a guide, plans start around ₹15,290/yrnth, with higher tiers for faster turnaround and dedicated expert support:

Annual billing typically saves around 15%. Optional add-ons — MSME/Udyam (from ₹999), FSSAI (from ₹1,499), Private Limited incorporation (from ₹4,999) — are available on any plan. See current plans and pricing.

How to choose

If you're registering one state and aren't in a rush, Starter is enough. If you're inbound-ing stock to a marketplace on a deadline, the faster turnaround tiers pay for themselves. Selling food? Bundle FSSAI. Raising funds or signing big contracts? Add incorporation.

How it works, start to finish

  1. Pick your city/state and address.
  2. Receive your verified document pack.
  3. Your CA files the GST application; you get the GSTIN.
  4. Add any warehouse as APOB and go live.
