You have multiple options
You should consult a CA for this in India on what is the best way to approach this. you can get some direction from http://www.mca.gov.in (Ministry of Corporate Affairs), http://www.nenonline.org (National Entrepreneurship Network ) and many startup forums like yourstory.in |

Raga, I have noticed that there haven't been many good answers to law / tax or business setup questions specific to India on here. I know in the US to start an e-commerce website you don't even need to file any business paperwork. At a minimum all you NEED to do is file your additional income on your yearly taxes. But - that's in the US, and that's the minimum. It's usually recommended to form a true business entity if you are expecting to sell a significant amount or have the potential for any liability. |
