Before You Begin: Flipkart Seller Requirements
Here’s a quick checklist of what you need to have ready before you start the application:
-
A registered business entity (Sole Proprietorship, LLP, Private Limited, etc.)
-
Business PAN Card
-
GSTIN Number (required for most product categories)
-
Current Bank Account in your business’s name
-
Canceled cheque or bank statement from that account
-
Details of the products you plan to sell
Step-by-Step: The Flipkart Seller Registration Process
Follow these steps to create your account successfully.

-
Visit the Flipkart Seller Hub: Go to seller.flipkart.com and click on “Start Selling.”
-
Enter Your Basic Details: Provide your name, email address, and mobile number. Use a professional email address associated with your business.
-
Verify Your Contact Information: Enter the OTPs (One-Time Passwords) sent to your mobile and email to verify them.
-
Provide Your Business Information: This is the most critical step. You will need to accurately enter:
-
Your official Business Name (as it appears on legal documents)
-
Business PAN Number
-
GSTIN Number
-
Pickup Address (the location from which orders will be shipped)
-
-
Select Your Product Categories: Choose the categories you plan to sell in. Be accurate, as certain categories have specific requirements.
-
Upload Your Documents: Submit clear, color scans of all the required documents listed in the next section.
Flipkart Seller Document Checklist
The documents you need depend on your business type. Ensure all uploads are clear and legible.
For Private Limited Companies & LLPs
-
Certificate of Incorporation
-
Company PAN Card
-
GST Certificate
-
Memorandum of Association (MOA) / LLP Agreement
-
Bank Account Details (Canceled Cheque)
-
Business Address Proof (Electricity Bill, Lease Agreement)
For Sole Proprietorships
-
Proprietor’s PAN Card
-
GST Certificate (if applicable)
-
Business Address Proof (Bank Statement, Utility Bill)

Proof of Identity (Aadhaar, Passport, Voter ID)
Heads-up: While possible, Sole Proprietorships can face higher scrutiny. We often recommend clients consider registering as an LLP for stronger liability protection and an easier approval process.
5 Common Reasons for Flipkart Seller Account Rejection
Avoid these common mistakes to ensure your application is approved.
-
Blurry or Incorrect Documents: Upload clear, color scans. Ensure the name and address match perfectly across all documents (PAN, GST, Bank, Address Proof).
-
GST Number Issues: Your GST details must be active and verified. The business name and address on the GST certificate must match your other registration documents exactly.
-
Address Proof Mismatch: The address on your utility bill or bank statement must match your registered business address submitted in the application.
-
Product Category Restrictions: Applying to sell in restricted categories (e.g., eyewear, personal care) without prior approval or specific licenses.
-
Incomplete Information: Leaving fields blank or entering incorrect data. Double-check every entry before submitting.
What Happens After You Apply?
Once you submit your application, Flipkart will verify your documents. This process can take anywhere from 2 to 7 business days. You will receive an email confirmation upon approval. Once approved, you can log in to your Seller Hub dashboard to list your products, set up inventory, and configure your shipping settings.
