How do I actually get started selling on Amazon India, account, GST, documents?
The short answer
Head to sell.amazon.in and register as a Professional seller with your GSTIN, PAN, a business bank account and a cancelled cheque, GST is mandatory regardless of turnover once you're an e-commerce operator seller. Pick your launch categories and 3-5 hero SKUs rather than uploading your whole catalogue on day one; category approvals and barcode/UPC checks are what usually slow first-timers down. Signup itself takes minutes, but budget a few days for document and account verification before you can go live.
