GST registration in Maharashtra for online sellers

Maharashtra is India's biggest e-commerce market. Here's how to get a Maharashtra GSTIN and add Amazon/Flipkart warehouses — without renting an office in Mumbai or Pune.

Maharashtra — anchored by Mumbai and Pune — has some of the busiest Amazon and Flipkart fulfilment centres in India. To store inventory there, you need a Maharashtra GSTIN, because GST in India is registered state by state.

What you need in Maharashtra

No office in Maharashtra? A Virtual Place of Business (VPOB) gives you a credible commercial address with the full document set the Maharashtra GST officer expects.

Step-by-step

1. Choose a Mumbai or Pune address

Pick a business district such as Bandra Kurla Complex, Andheri or Lower Parel in Mumbai, or Hinjawadi, Baner or Kharadi in Pune.

2. Get your document pack

You receive a notarised NOC, a registered 11-month Rent Agreement and a matching Utility Bill — see the documents checklist.

3. File and get the GSTIN

Our in-house CA files the application; you receive your Maharashtra GSTIN and REG-06 certificate.

4. Add your warehouse as APOB

Once live, the fulfilment centre is added as an APOB so you can inbound stock. Here's how APOB is added in the GST portal.

Common use cases

Sellers shipping to western and central India, D2C brands wanting a Mumbai business address, and Amazon FBA sellers stocking Bhiwandi-area centres all use a Maharashtra VPOB. See more in our multi-state GST guide.
