Remote by design
TrueOrbis has no presence in Gujarat and does not visit. That suits registration and marketplace work, which happens on official portals and seller dashboards in any case. You share scanned documents through a secure link, we review them, and filing happens in a video session where you enter each OTP yourself.
- PAN of the business and of the proprietor, partners or directors
- Proof of the premises you operate from
- Bank details in the business’s name
- A list of the products or services you supply
Gujarat rules that apply in Ahmedabad
The GST state code for Gujarat is 24. Registration follows the national process on the GST portal, with nothing extra added by the State at application stage.
Shops and commercial establishments are governed by the Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2019. An amendment passed in 2026, treated as in force from 16 December 2025, means the Act now applies to establishments with 20 or more workers, so older guidance quoting 10 is out of date. New registrations, renewals and cancellations are made on the state’s eNagar portal, enagar.gujarat.gov.in.
Gujarat levies professional tax, and collection is partly handled by municipal corporations rather than a single state office. Your accountant can confirm which authority your establishment deals with.
For investment projects needing several state clearances, the Investor Facilitation Portal at ifp.gujarat.gov.in is Gujarat’s single window. We do not file Shops Act or professional tax registrations, but we will tell you where they fit in your sequence.
From wholesale to marketplace
If you run a business that already supplies dealers, moving onto Amazon or Flipkart is mostly a matter of getting data right: one legal name across PAN, GST and bank, a pickup address the marketplace can reach, and product details a buyer who has never met you can rely on.
We usually start with the products that sell steadily offline, list those first, and add the rest once the account and dispatch routine have settled.
Since October 2023, small sellers of goods who stay within one State and within the turnover limit can sell through e-commerce platforms with an enrolment number from the GST portal instead of full registration. Marketplaces set their own requirements, though, and may still ask for a regular GSTIN.
What an Ahmedabad engagement looks like
It starts with a phone or video call about your products and paperwork, followed by a written scope and quote. The work then happens in short online sessions spread over several days, with progress shared on WhatsApp. It ends with a handover folder holding certificates, account details and notes, all in your business’s name.
Common questions
Can you register our Ahmedabad business for GST without meeting us?
Yes. The GST portal is entirely online, and verification uses Aadhaar authentication and OTPs on your phone. We prepare and file with you over video. If the department decides to inspect your premises, that visit is between the officer and you.
Our shop has eight staff. Does the Gujarat Shops Act apply to us?
Since the amendment treated as in force from 16 December 2025, the Act applies to establishments with 20 or more workers. For smaller establishments, check eNagar or ask the department what is expected, because published guidance is still catching up with the change.
Is professional tax payable in Gujarat?
Yes, Gujarat levies it, and part of the collection runs through municipal corporations. Ask your accountant or payroll provider how your establishment should register and pay; it is not something we file.
We sell to dealers across India. Do we need GST before going on Amazon?
If you supply goods to other States, GST registration is normally required whatever your turnover, and Amazon asks for GST details for taxable goods. We can look at your situation and prepare the GST application first.
