Starting an e-commerce business in India by selling on Meesho, Amazon, and Flipkart requires some essential investments. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you need, including costs for a printer, PC, and other essentials:
1. GST Registration:
✔️ Required for Amazon & Flipkart, optional for Meesho if below ₹40 lakh turnover.
There are two types of GST registration one is individual registration and second is company GST registration. Usually people do individual GST registration and I will also recommend you the same. Company GST is for registered pvt. ltd. companies but still I’m telling you the cost of both.

✅ GST government fee: ₹0
💰 Estimated Cost: ₹500 – ₹2,000 (depending on CA cost)
