Why sellers need a Chennai GSTIN
GST is state-wise: if you store stock in Tamil Nadu (in an Amazon FBA / Flipkart FBF centre or your own warehouse), you need a Tamil Nadu GSTIN. Renting an office in Chennai just for registration is expensive and unnecessary — a virtual office gives you a verified Chennai address and the complete GST document set instead.
VPOB & APOB — how it works
- VPOB (Virtual Place of Business): your Launch My Office Chennai address (Little Mount, Nandanam) is used as the principal place of business to obtain the Tamil Nadu GSTIN.
- APOB (Additional Place of Business): once the GSTIN is live, we add your Amazon FBA / Flipkart FBF warehouse (or dark store) as an additional place so you can store and ship legally.

Chennai — FAQ
Can Amazon sellers use a virtual office in Chennai for GST?
Yes. A Chennai virtual office with a notarised NOC, registered Rent Agreement and matching Utility Bill is valid as a VPOB for Tamil Nadu GST registration, and is accepted by Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho.
What is the difference between VPOB and APOB?
VPOB is the virtual office address used to obtain the Tamil Nadu GSTIN; APOB is the warehouse or fulfilment centre added to that GSTIN so you can store and ship goods legally.
How much does it cost for sellers in Chennai?
From ₹19,188/year (≈₹1,599/month, billed annually) with zero deposit — far cheaper than renting an office in Chennai.
