Starting an online store in India and wondering about CST/VAT registration? Is it essential right from the beginning, and if so, how soon should I get it done?

Information on government websites can only be considered legally binding if it is explicitly authorized by a law or regulation. While having multiple state domiciles might be against the spirit of certain schemes, it’s not an independent criminal offence under Indian law. There are no specific consequences for having multiple state domiciles, except potentially being ineligible for certain schemes or benefits.
