We have a free e-magazine and now we want to sell it(as soft copy) from our own website for a few bucks. There are also plans to sell it as a hard copy in the future.
Now the question is do we need to do GST registration to sell these mags online/offline?
If yes, then how? Pls help

2. And How do we register our company as a private limited company??

A.Dear Client,

Persons who sell goods or services through an e-commerce portal or operator are called e-commerce sellers. These sellers may sell their goods or services through one or multiple e-commerce operators and could also be selling via their shops or offices together with the e-commerce platforms. The applicability of GST to e-commerce sellers varies depending on whether they supply goods or services. GST is applicable on a supplier of goods, and there’s no turnover threshold for exemption available for such sellers. For a supplier of services, GST is only applicable if their turnover exceeds Rs 20 lakh. As per Notification No.2/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28/06/2017 supply of Printed News Journal/Magazines is exempt and is not chargeable to GST, however, this exemption notification is not applicable to “PDF version i.e. E-Magazines”
