Under GST a warehouse that stores your goods is your place of business. That includes ours. We give you the papers to add it before your first truck arrives.
It depends on which state our warehouse is in. Pick the case that fits you.
Where will your stock sit with us?
You add our warehouse as an additional place of business on your existing registration. We give you the papers. You or your CA file the change before your first truck.
You need a GST registration in the new state. Our warehouse can be your main address there. Your authorised signatory and your proprietor, partners or a director complete the identity checks. You file it yourself or with your CA. We give you the warehouse papers.
GST registers businesses state by state in India. A foreign business with no fixed place in India can register only for short spells. It pays the tax in advance and needs an authorised signatory in India. Brands that keep stock in India usually sell through an Indian company or importer.
Your GST officer asks for proof of each warehouse that stores your goods. The proof for our warehouse comes from us.
On our letterhead with your legal name and the warehouse's full address.
The warehousing agreement between us or the pages that matter.
The owner's latest electricity bill or property tax receipt.
If we rent the site we add our lease. It shows the chain from the owner to us to you.
Unit, plot and PIN written just as the electricity bill shows them.
The front of the warehouse with its address board if your officer asks.
We prepare the papers and the form with you. Your authorised signatory signs and files it. Or your CA files it and you approve it on the portal.
We agree on the warehouse and the day your stock arrives.

The change counts only from the day you file it. So you file it before the first truck.

Your stock arrives at our warehouse with an e-way bill where the load needs one.
Your registration names our warehouse. Here is what we look after while your stock is with us.
We display your GST certificate and your GST number at our warehouse.
We store your stock so we can tell it from other brands' stock item by item. The law asks this of us.
On your instructions we raise the e-way bill whenever a load needs one.
We prepare the invoice when your stock moves between your states.
We send you stock reports so your returns match what we hold.
