Each state has its own Shop & Establishment portal. The fee is state-specific.

iv.

GST

Do you need GST registration?

Required if any of these apply:

·Annual sales above ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special-category states)
·Selling on Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato, or any e-commerce platform
·Selling across state borders
·Selling to corporate clients who want GST invoices (voluntary choice)

We'll file your GST registration with Shop Act and Udyam.

Why we ask this

A sole proprietorship isn't a separately registered entity — in law, you are the business. You'll pick a trade name (what customers see, like "Skystack Studio") separate from your legal name (the name on your PAN). Setting up means securing the operating registrations: Shop & Establishment (state law), Udyam (MSME — unlocks 45-day payment protection from corporate buyers), and GST (only if you cross the turnover threshold, sell across states, sell on e-commerce platforms, or want voluntary GST for B2B clients).
