What is APOB?

APOB or Additional Place of Business is any place, other than the head office or the main place of business, where a seller does business operations in accordance with India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) policy.

For suppliers or sellers engaged with Blinkit (previously Grofers) and keeping stocks in Blinkit Warehouses or Partner Stores, it is a requirement to enroll these places as APOBs in their GST registration. It is for maintaining legal compliance and hassle-free working.

Why is APOB Registration Significant for Blinkit Sellers?
