Why the Ecommerce Sector in India Is the Future
India’s ecommerce market is expected to surpass USD 350 billion by 2030, driven by internet penetration, digital payments, and mobile shopping. Platforms like Flipkart, Myntra, Meesho, Nykaa, and Amazon India have revolutionized consumer behavior. Now, small entrepreneurs and home grown brands are also creating a big impact with niche e-commerce offerings.
From fashion and electronics to health products and handmade crafts—every category is booming. But in order to scale and be taken seriously by customers, investors, and partners, a proper company registration is non-negotiable. It gives your brand identity, legal protection, and access to compliance benefits.
Choosing the Right Business Structure for an Ecommerce Company
The legal structure of your company defines its ability to scale, manage risk, and raise funds. Filing Point recommends the following structures for e-commerce startups:
Private Limited Company
This is the best choice for most e-commerce businesses aiming to grow, raise investment, or partner with logistics and payment services. It provides limited liability, tax advantages, and investor trust.
One Person Company (OPC)
Ideal for solo entrepreneurs who wish to sell through online platforms or social media stores. It provides full control with legal status.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
A suitable model for two or more partners running a service-based or niche e-commerce venture. It is simple, tax-efficient, and provides legal protection.
We do not recommend Sole Proprietorship, Public Limited Company, Doorstep DSC, or Shops & Establishment License, as they are either outdated or not designed for the ecommerce model.
Step-by-Step Process to Register an E-commerce Company in India
Step 1: Finalize the Company Structure
Decide if your company will be a Private Limited, OPC, or LLP, depending on your ownership pattern, team size, and business vision. Filing Point helps you evaluate the best structure for long-term growth and funding potential.
Step 2: Reserve a Unique Business Name
You need a legally available and brandable name for your e-commerce venture. Filing Point checks name availability and helps you reserve it using SPICe+ Part A on the MCA portal. Your name should reflect your niche, be easy to remember, and be suitable for digital branding.
Step 3: Apply for Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)
All directors need Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to sign incorporation documents online. We process these electronically—no need for doorstep services or in-person appointments.
Step 4: Get Director Identification Number (DIN)
DIN is assigned to directors as part of the SPICe+ form. We handle the preparation of ID proofs, address documents, and declarations required for DIN allocation.
Step 5: Draft Legal Documents
We prepare your MOA (Memorandum of Association) and AOA (Articles of Association) based on your e-commerce model. These define the purpose, operations, and internal rules of your business.
Step 6: File the SPICe+ Form (Part B)
Filing Point submits your incorporation form, which includes:
- PAN and TAN application
- PF and ESI registration
- Optional GST registration
All documents are filed online with the Registrar of Companies. Once approved, you’ll receive your Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, TAN, and CIN—all needed to legally run your ecommerce business.

Opening a Business Bank Account
Once registered, you must open a current account in your company’s name. This is required to collect payments from customers, receive payouts from marketplaces, and pay for operations. Filing Point helps you with account setup, providing all incorporation documents and KYC.
MSME (Udyam) Registration for Ecommerce Startups
E-commerce businesses can register under MSME (Udyam) to access:
- Government tenders
- Subsidized loans
- Priority lending
- Tax exemptions
- Marketing support
Whether you’re a drop-shipper or run a warehouse model, Filing Point helps you get your MSME certificate quickly and digitally.
Obtain Import Export Code (IEC)
Planning to sell internationally via platforms like Amazon Global, Etsy, or Shopify? You’ll need an Import Export Code (IEC) from DGFT. Filing Point assists you with IEC registration, allowing you to legally receive foreign payments and ship abroad.
GST Registration and Return Filing
Ecommerce companies must obtain GST registration, regardless of turnover, if they sell through platforms like Flipkart or Amazon or run a multi-state operation. GST is also required for issuing legal invoices and claiming input tax credit. We help you register and take care of your monthly GST return filings.
ROC Filings and Compliance After Registration
Once your e-commerce company is registered, you must comply with annual legal filings:
- AOC-4 for financials
- MGT-7 for company returns
- ADT-1 for auditor details
- DIR-3 KYC for director identity
Filing Point handles all ROC filings and reminders to keep you compliant and penalty-free.
Monthly Accounting and Bookkeeping
All e-commerce transactions must be properly recorded. We provide:
- Sales and expense tracking
- Inventory accounting
- Profit & loss reports
- GST invoices and reconciliation
- Marketplace commission and TDS tracking
This ensures you’re audit-ready and financially clean.
