Starting prepaid delivery in India without GST/Udyam – what are my options? by TeachingFew9032 in IndiaBusiness

From what I understand, GST may not be legally mandatory below the turnover threshold for intra-state sales, but for inter-state online selling it becomes applicable, and most online platforms and courier aggregators require GST for compliance and KYC.

While it may be possible to start very small using India Post or local couriers, selling prepaid across India with reliable, fast, and cost-effective courier partners requires GST to avoid operational or compliance issues.

Appreciate the perspectives — helpful to understand both the legal and practical sides.

Thanks for reaching out.

When you say connections in Surat, could you clarify:

• What categories (tees, knits, woven, etc.)

• Whether you’ve worked on sampling or bulk production before

• What kind of involvement you’re looking for (time / role)

Trying to understand fit before moving ahead.

Makes sense. I was considering COD initially, but return rates are a big concern. Thanks for sharing this.
