Create a new user account and log in.
Fill in your business details, PAN, address, and contact information.
Upload required documents (proof of business, address proof, identity proof, photographs, etc.).
Submit your application and track status using the ARN (Application Reference Number).

Once approved, you will receive your GSTIN, which you can then use to complete your Amazon.in seller registration.
