GST registration for e-commerce startups begins with mandatory registration under GST if annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh for special category states). The process requires PAN, Aadhaar, bank details, and business proof. Registration is automatic for e-commerce operators supplying goods/services through online platforms.
