Is VAT registration required to sell on Paytm?
Yes, VAT registration is required for selling on Paytm. However, in case of the sale of unstitched apparel, books, and/or handicrafts, then VAT registration is not required. On the other hand, a seller can also begin selling on Paytm without a VAT registration by providing an undertaking to obtain VAT registration. However, until VAT registration proof is submitted to Paytm it will hold payments to the seller.
