Hello sir,
I want to sell products on Amazon, and other Ecommerce stores.
They just require tax information to get started, GSTIN number.
I have options to start as a Sole properiter, OPC , LLP , Pvt Ltd.

I don't want to invest much amount of money in the beginning because I am new to all these things, and I want to get incorporated after I am a little bit knowledgeable on how to do this business.

However, I came to know about the SPICe act by the government and I have no idea about it.

Also, What worries me is the unlimited liability thing as a sole properiter,

I am really very confused, please help me out.
Should I apply for a GST number as a sole properiter or start an OPC first and then do this?

A.For starting a business sole proprietorship is the best option. You can easily sell your products on line with Amazon and Flipkart by taking the GST registration. I was part of legal team of Flipkart so in case of any queries you can get in touch with me.
