Rules for sellers in India

Online sellers in India need GST registration, which one adviser's page says carries no government fee. A trade licence from the local authority is valid for one year and renewed annually, and processing takes 7 to 30 working days in the sources we found. Valid PAN and Aadhaar details are needed for KYC checks, so have them ready before you hire anyone to set up your accounts.

Season and timing

The climate is tropical, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Plan the start date for a period when your deliveries can run without disruption, and check the rainy months in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai before you fix a delivery date. A small test budget over a few weeks shows which period works for your products.

How the work is priced

Agencies quote a monthly fee, a set-up fee or a cost per lead, and the ad spend is a separate budget. Ask what the monthly fee includes and whether ad spend is paid directly to the advertising service. Say whether the price is for one city or for all of India, since delivery across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai changes the goal you set.

What to put in your request

Name the products, the number of items, the goal (sales, leads or brand awareness), your monthly ad budget, the cities you deliver to, and whether your business already has a trade licence and a GST number. These details let the seller quote one clear price.
