Add our warehouse to your GST registration

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.

What does your GST registration need?

It depends on which state our warehouse is in. Pick the case that fits you.

Where will your stock sit with us?

Add our warehouse to your registration

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.

Register for GST in that state

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.

Sell through an Indian company

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.

The papers we give you

Your GST officer asks for proof of each warehouse that stores your goods. The proof for our warehouse comes from us.

Consent letter

On our letterhead with your legal name and the warehouse's full address.

Our agreement

The warehousing agreement between us or the pages that matter.

Proof the site exists

The owner's latest electricity bill or property tax receipt.

Our lease

If we rent the site we add our lease. It shows the chain from the owner to us to you.

The exact address

Unit, plot and PIN written just as the electricity bill shows them.

Photos of the site

The front of the warehouse with its address board if your officer asks.

How to add an additional place of business in GST

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.

  1. We agree on the warehouse and the day your stock arrives.

  2. The consent letter, our agreement and the owner's bill ready to upload.

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

  4. The officer may ask a question or visit. We show the site and our papers.

  5. Our address shows on your GST certificate. We keep a copy at our warehouse.

  6. Your stock arrives at our warehouse with an e-way bill where the load needs one.

How we keep your GST in order at our warehouse

Your registration names our warehouse. Here is what we look after while your stock is with us.

  • Certificate on show

    All the time

    We display your GST certificate and your GST number at our warehouse.

  • Records by owner

    All the time

    We store your stock so we can tell it from other brands' stock item by item. The law asks this of us.

  • E-way bills

    Each move

    On your instructions we raise the e-way bill whenever a load needs one.

  • Stock transfers

    Each transfer

    We prepare the invoice when your stock moves between your states.

  • Stock reports

    Every month

    We send you stock reports so your returns match what we hold.

  • Site checks

    When an officer visits

    We let the officer in and show your stock and records.

Why GST trouble starts at the warehouse

Most of it comes from a missing paper or a wrong date.

  • What goes wrong: Stock arrives before the warehouse is on the registration.

    What we do: We check the change is filed before we take your first truck.

  • What goes wrong: The address on the form does not match the electricity bill.

    What we do: We give you the address exactly as the bill shows it.

  • What goes wrong: The consent letter leaves out your legal name.

    What we do: Our letter names you just as your PAN does.

  • What goes wrong: An officer visits and the gate staff do not know your brand.

    What we do: Our team knows each account and shows your stock and papers.

  • What goes wrong: Stock moves to a new state with no GST registration there.

    What we do: We tell you before the move and send the papers for the new state.

  • What goes wrong: You leave the warehouse but its address stays on your certificate.

    What we do: We remind you to remove it when your stock leaves.

Sell in a new state with our warehouse as your base

Keep your stock in the state and register there with our address. Then start selling.

  • Stock in the state

    We hold your stock in our warehouse there. Your buyers get it from close by.

  • Billed in your name

    We bill your buyers in the state in your name as your C&F agent.

  • Your IEC kept in step

    We add the new state's GST number to your IEC's branches. Your bills of entry for that state quote it so the IGST you pay is credited there.

Brands That Trust Us

Do I need GST registration for a warehouse in another state?
Yes, if you sell from it. GST registers businesses state by state. Say you sell from our warehouse in a state where you have no registration. Then you register in that state. Our warehouse can be your main address there. A business that deals only in goods free of GST does not need to.
Can I add a 3PL warehouse as an additional place of business?
Yes. Under GST a warehouse that holds your goods is your place of business. That is true even when another company runs it. You add it to your registration in that state.
What papers does the warehouse give me?
We give you a consent letter with your legal name and our full address. We add our agreement with you and the owner's latest electricity bill or tax receipt. Officers are told to keep to the official list. They need a senior officer's approval to ask for more. If our warehouse is your main address in a state we add the signer's identity proof.
Can I add the warehouse from an earlier date?
Not in the normal course. The change counts from the day you file it. Only the Commissioner can allow an earlier date by a written order. So file it before your stock arrives with us.
Can your warehouse be my main place of business in a new state?
Yes. Our warehouse can be your principal place of business in a state where you have no office.
What happens if my goods sit at an address not on my GST certificate?
If the goods have no valid papers or are missing from your books an officer can treat them as sold. You then pay the tax with interest and a penalty. Goods that are not accounted for can be seized. That is why we check before your stock comes in.
Will a GST officer visit your warehouse?
Sometimes. An officer may come to check that your goods really sit with us. We show your stock, your records and your certificate.
Do I need GST registration to import or export?
To import you need an IEC. But you need GST registration to claim the IGST you pay at customs. Exporters of goods must register whatever their size. It also lets them ship without paying IGST or claim it back.
Can a foreign brand register for GST without an Indian company?
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. A foreign company with a registered branch here registers like any other business. Brands that keep stock in India usually sell through an Indian company or importer.
Do I add Amazon or Flipkart warehouses too?
Yes. Any warehouse that holds your stock goes on your registration in its state. That includes a marketplace's warehouse. In a state where you have no GST you register there first.
Who keeps the records of my stock at your warehouse?
You keep your own books. We keep the records the law asks of the warehouse: who sent the goods, whose they are, what they are, how long they stay and where they go.
How do I remove your warehouse when I leave?
You file the same kind of change on the GST portal and delete our address. We remind you when your stock leaves.
