Its really extremely high. Even online you can hire a CA for merely Rs 2500 for getting a new GST No. I guess some CAs are cashing in on the opportunity.

Its unfortunate how some people are spreading misinformation about number of forms required to be submit. Even when I was confused with regard to GST, people were telling me how I will have to submit 8 forms every month. It was only after watching the daily brief by the Finance Ministry that I realized How I will have to fill only 3 forms.

Hi . All the info here has been really helpful...i just need to know one thing...when do i start filling forms (GSTR1) ? 

Should i start uploading invoices from 10th of next month or should i wait for ebay to start deducting TDS ?

You will have to file GSTR 1 by the 10th of next month. For example if you are filing gst return for June, submit the form by 10th of July. However govt has given relaxation for first couple of months. You can file gst return for July and August in September.

There is no need to wait for Ebay to deduct TCS. You may file returns to meet deadline.

One more thing Kanishka, you won't have to upload invoices. Just need to mention invoice number and amount etc while filing returns.

Re: How to register for GST No ?

I don't think that's possible. Once you have registered for the GST, you will have to charge it from buyers. Since it's the buyer who is paying GST, you can't claim refund. However 1% TCS can be claimed. Besides since you will be selling interstate, the 20 Lakh relaxation is not applicable on you.

I know GST is very confusing. Feel free to ask any question. Will try my best to answer it. Even I am learning new things everyday.

Re: How to register for GST No ?

I had some problems with getting GST refistration initially, because I started with the wrong category of company. The second time around, I chose "Sole proritorship" as the category. Then the GST portal took me through without any hitches, and the number came through in a week. It does not ask for any resolutions of the Board, etc. I could register as an individual, with my personal PAN number, Aadhar card, and savings bank account. But now I'm stuck because I don't know whether eBay has re-activated my seller account. Further, I don't know whether I should pay up the 28% GST on the items I sell (mostly used camera parts to foreign buyers), and the procedure to get refund of this (exports are supposed to have zero GST!). Should I get an Import Export Code (IEC)? How to submit proof of export (if postal receipt is not accepted?). From whom should certificate of export be obtained? To whom should these proofs be submitted? Any help would be welcome.
