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.

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.

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.
