The legal side of selling online in India, explained
India regulates online selling far more closely than a typical retail shop. Here's what actually applies to your store in 2026 and what SSA TAX handles for you.
GST/TCSMandatory GST Registration for Online Sellers
Unlike offline businesses, the usual ₹20 lakh / ₹40 lakh turnover exemption does not apply almost every seller on an e-commerce platform or independent store must register for GSTIN, collect and reconcile Tax Collected at Source (TCS), and file returns on time to avoid blocked Input Tax Credit.
CP(EC) 2020 Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020
The core rulebook for Indian online retail. It requires clear seller and product disclosures (name, address, GSTIN, country of origin, MRP breakup), a named Grievance Redressal Officer, fair return/refund timelines, and a ban on manipulated search rankings or fake urgency-driven "flash sale" tactics.
DPDP 2023 Digital Personal Data Protection Act
Any store collecting customer names, phone numbers, addresses or payment details must obtain clear consent, secure that data, and be ready to report breaches data privacy is no longer optional for online sellers.
FDI PolicyFDI & Marketplace Model Rules
Applicable to larger or funded ventures: 100% FDI is allowed under the marketplace model, but platforms cannot influence sale price, and no single vendor may account for more than 25% of sales on a marketplace.
Sector SpecificCategory Licences FSSAI, BIS, Legal Metrology
Selling food needs an FSSAI licence; selling electronics or toys may need BIS certification; and all packaged goods must follow Legal Metrology labelling rules for MRP, net quantity and manufacturer details.
