# Multi-State Warehouse & FBA GST Registration

> If your goods are stored in a fulfilment centre in another state, you need a GST registration in that state, because a GSTIN is state-specific. Within your home state, the warehouse is added as an additional place of business. Moving stock between your own registrations in different states is a taxable supply needing an invoice and e-way bill, with credit available to the receiving registration.

Multi-state fulfilment speeds delivery but multiplies compliance: each GSTIN files its own returns, maintains stock, and needs proper stock-transfer invoices valued under the GST valuation rules.

We register the needed GSTINs, set up stock-transfer processes, and file returns for each state on one calendar.

## FAQs

### Can I use my home-state GSTIN for an FBA warehouse in another state?

No. A GSTIN covers one state. A warehouse in another state needs registration in that state.

### Is a stock transfer to my own FBA warehouse taxable?

Yes, if it moves between two of your GSTINs in different states — it is a supply between distinct persons, with IGST charged and credit available to the receiving GSTIN.

### What value is used for stock transfers?

Under the valuation rules, generally the open market value or, where the recipient can claim full credit, the invoice value declared.
