Before proceeding with the process, you must understand VPOB. If you haven’t read our BLOG 2, it is recommended that you do so first, as it will help you understand the concept.
Step 1: The e-commerce sellers or business owners fill out the form on our website “https://www.goinstaspaces.com/” and choose the Virtual Office for VPOB address within 28 States and 7 Union Territories. After getting a VPOB address, you will be eligible to apply for GSTIN within that state or UT (Union Territory).,
Step 2: After filling out the form, within the next 24 hours, our consultants will give you a call or send you an email regarding your query. During the call, our consultants will guide you about the locations of VPOB according to your requirements.
Step 3: After the call, you (the e-commerce seller or business owner) will receive a quotation that includes all the details regarding the VPOB you’ve chosen.
Step 4: After the confirmation of the chosen location, the client (e-commerce/business owner) confirms the payment.
Step 5: After completion of the payment process, KYC (Know Your Customer) is initiated.
Step 6: After the KYC is done, verification & draft documents are shared with you.
Step 7: Once the documents get verified, the client can apply for GST Registration within that state.
Note: If the client wants to get GST registration done via us with our Virtual Office address, then we get them a CA assigned who will be responsible for getting the GSTIN of that state.
After following all these steps, one becomes eligible to get their inventory placed in the Fulfillment Centers of Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Meesho, etc.

How a Virtual Office Helps in Obtaining VPOB and State-wise GSTIN
A virtual office plays a crucial role in obtaining a VPOB (Principal Place of Business) and state-wise GSTIN for e-commerce sellers and businesses expanding across India. It provides a legally compliant business address in the desired state without the need for a physical office setup. This address can be used to register for GST, fulfill marketplace requirements (like Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit), and receive official government correspondence. Virtual office providers like Instaspaces also offer essential documents—such as NOC, rent agreement, and utility bill—which are required for successful GST registration. This makes it an affordable, efficient, and compliant solution for businesses targeting multiple states.
