1. Business Registration Documents

First up, let's talk about the foundation: business registration documents. iMyntra needs to know you're a legitimate business, so they need proof of your legal status. The exact documents you need will vary slightly depending on your business structure (sole proprietorship, partnership, private limited company, etc.). Generally, you'll need one or more of the following:

• For Sole Proprietorships: You'll typically need a GSTIN certificate (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), but other documents like a Shop and Establishment Act license might be necessary too, depending on your location. Make sure you have the latest updated copy.
• For Partnerships: You will need the Partnership Deed that outlines the business structure and the responsibilities of the partners. You'll also need a GSTIN certificate and sometimes a registration certificate from the Registrar of Firms. Ensure that all partners are in agreement with your iMyntra store.
• For Private Limited Companies: You'll need the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum of Association (MoA), and Articles of Association (AoA). And, of course, your GSTIN certificate is a must-have. These documents clearly define your company's existence and operating guidelines. Keep these documents easily accessible for future references.

Having these documents ready shows iMyntra that you're serious and professional, which helps build trust right from the start. Make sure your business name matches perfectly on all documents and that they are up-to-date to avoid any delays in the verification process. Ensure all the information is accurate and matches with the rest of the documents to show that everything is aligned.

2. GSTIN Certificate

Next, let’s talk about the GSTIN certificate. This is a super important document for any business selling in India, including, of course, on iMyntra. The GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) is a unique 15-digit code that identifies your business for tax purposes. This number is what iMyntra will use to collect and remit GST on your sales (if applicable). It's critical to have this, so you can legally conduct business on the platform. Think of it as your tax ID, but for GST. This lets the government track your sales and ensures you're playing by the rules. The GSTIN certificate is issued by the Goods and Services Tax department after you register for GST. The whole process is usually online and not that complicated, so be sure you complete it and get the certificate.

You can typically obtain your GSTIN certificate by registering on the GST portal (gst.gov.in). Make sure you have all the necessary information and documents ready during the application process. Once your registration is approved, you’ll receive your GSTIN, which you then provide to iMyntra. Double-check that the details on the certificate are correct, especially your business name and address, as any discrepancies can cause problems down the line. Keep a digital copy of your GSTIN certificate safe and easily accessible for future reference, you’ll need it multiple times, for example, if you add bank accounts.

3. PAN Card

Okay, so the PAN card is your Permanent Account Number. This is a must-have for pretty much any financial transaction in India, and iMyntra is no exception. This document is a ten-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department. It’s used to track your financial transactions and is essential for tax purposes. Your PAN card is linked to your bank account and is used to report your income to the government. It's used in everything from opening a bank account to filing your income tax returns.

For iMyntra, your PAN card is required to verify your identity and to ensure that your financial details are accurate. When you apply to sell on iMyntra, you'll be asked to provide your PAN card details, including the number and a copy of the card itself. Make sure your name and other details on the PAN card match the information you provide during the registration process. Any inconsistencies can lead to delays in the verification process. So, it's best to have everything consistent across all your documents to ensure a seamless setup. Keep this document in a safe place, as it is a crucial form of identification. If you don't have one, get one! You'll need it.

4. Bank Account Details

Now, let's talk about the fun part: getting paid! iMyntra will need your bank account details to deposit your earnings. This usually includes the following:

• Bank Name: The name of your bank.
• Account Number: Your unique bank account number.
• IFSC Code: The Indian Financial System Code, a unique 11-digit code that identifies your bank branch.
• Account Holder Name: The name that appears on the bank account (this should match your business name or the name of the authorized signatory). Make sure it's accurate.

Make sure the bank account is in the name of your business or, if you're a sole proprietor, in your name. You'll likely also need to provide a copy of a canceled cheque or a bank statement to verify the details. This is an essential step because iMyntra can't pay you if they don't know where to send the money! Double-check everything to avoid any hiccups in receiving your payments. Also, make sure that your bank account is active and that there are no issues with it. Always provide the correct account details to ensure smooth transactions.

5. Address Proof

iMyntra needs to verify your address for verification and record-keeping purposes. Acceptable address proof documents may include:

• Utility Bills: Such as electricity bills, water bills, or gas bills. Make sure these are recent (usually within the last three months) and in your business's name or your name if you're a sole proprietor.
• Bank Statement: A recent bank statement that shows your address. Make sure the name on the statement matches the name on your business registration documents.
• Rent Agreement: If you're operating from a rented space, a valid rent agreement will suffice, along with a utility bill in the landlord's name.
• Property Tax Receipt: This serves as proof of your registered property.

Make sure that the address on these documents matches the address you provide during the registration process. Again, consistency is key! If you've recently moved, make sure to update your address on all your documents before you apply. If you operate from home, your home address can typically be used as your business address. Ensure that the address is clearly visible on the document and that the document is legible. High-quality scans or clear photos are preferred to avoid any issues during verification.

6. Other Documents (May Be Required)

• Trademark Certificate (if applicable): If you're selling products under your own brand, you may need to provide a trademark certificate to prove you have the rights to use the brand name. This is particularly important if your products have your brand name.
• Import/Export Code (IEC) (if applicable): If you're planning to import or export goods, you'll need an IEC. You'll need to submit this if you plan on expanding your business internationally. This is especially important if you are going to sell products that are not made in India.
• Authorized Signatory Details: iMyntra may require details of the authorized signatory, the person who is authorized to act on behalf of the business. You may need to provide their name, designation, and contact information, as well as a copy of their ID proof.

These additional documents are often needed depending on your specific business situation and the types of products you sell. Always check with iMyntra's guidelines to see what's required for your specific product category. For example, if you're selling health supplements, you might need additional licenses or certifications. If you're selling branded products, you might need a trademark registration certificate. It’s always best to be prepared for the worst to avoid any delays.
