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
- A Maharashtra GSTIN, obtained against a verified address in the state.
- The warehouse or fulfilment centre added to that GSTIN as an Additional Place of Business (APOB).
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.
