How to register for dvat/cst for an online/ecommerce shop?

Hello

I am starting a new startup based out of New Delhi, that will sell goods on online marketplaces like amazon, flipkart. Both these websites has a requires VAT+CST as mandatory. I am using App DVAT Msewa recently launched by our Chief Minister. I have few questions as below, please advise -

- Which Dealer Type to use in App registration?
- I do not have PAN of firm, what should I enter here?
- Since it's a new online based startup, I do not own any shop. Initially I will working from home. I am using home address as shop address. Please advise what all things I should keep in mind or follow.
- Few people told me that I need to use Board on my home (shop) as mandatory. But since I am working from Home, is it necessary to put a board.
- Will it turn my home as a commercial building?
- Will it also impact the rates on my electricity bills, water bills?
- Do I need a digital signature to complete this application? I do not have one.
- What is total fees of taking VAT & CST number in Delhi?
- Since, I will receive orders across India, what all other formalities needs to be taken care of?

- It says that I need to take the photo of the establishment, since it's a house, can I submit the photo of front view of my house.

- Do I need to submit the surety in the case of online shop and working from home?

Thanks
Ronald

Hi Ronald

Answers to your query:

1. Dealer Type - Regular

2. PAN - if it is your proprietorship concern, they your PAN will be used.

3. Yes you can use your home address as shop address.

4. It is recommended to use board at your home. Now, Deptt. has also made mandatory to display Certificate of Registration and TIN & Ward NO. at your office premises - this will be for your use after registration.

5. No, it will not turn to commercial.

6. No, will not affect your elec & water bills

7. No DSC will require for registration. But you will be required later for filing returns.

8. Govt. fees - 1025.00

9. No Other formalities. While filing form, select VAT+CST for registration

10. Upload image of premise (just a image of any room)

11. No Surety.
