If you are opting for Fulfilment By Amazon (FBA) services, you have to register Amazon Fulfilment Centre as your Additional Place of Business (APoB) in your tax registrations. This is required because your goods are stored in the Amazon fulfilment centre and are picked, packed and delivered as per the orders placed by end customers across all cities in India. As an online marketplace seller, you may have your customers based out of any state in India, therefore GSTIN is required to sell goods online. If you are selling/shipping products from multiple states, you will require a separate GSTIN for each such state. Consequently, registering the respective fulfilment centre as an APoB becomes necessary.

issued in the form GST certificate i.e. REG-06. It is a digitally signed system generated
Certificate made available on the GST portal, evidencing the successful GST registration
under the GST law. You can download the Reg-06 certificate by following the below
