What is APOB?

APOB (Additional Place of Business) is any place, other than the main place of business, at which a seller carries on the business activities in India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.

For sellers utilizing Zepto, especially for sellers utilizing Zepto’s Fulfillment Centers or Partner Stores for warehousing and distributing products, it is necessary to register such premises as APOBs under their GST registration.
