This guide provides the complete checklist to set up your profile.

Step-by-Step Profile Completion Checklist
To complete your seller profile, log in to your dashboard and verify the following sections:
1. PAN & Company Registration Validation
- Confirm your business PAN is verified.
- For companies, verify that Director Identification Numbers (DIN) are linked.
2. Office Address & GSTIN Details
- Input your registered office address matching your GST registration.
- Verify your GSTIN details to enable tax calculations on your orders.
3. Bank Account Mapping
- Enter your business bank account details (IFSC code, bank name, account number).
- Complete the penny drop verification test to confirm your account is active.
4. Caution Money Deposit (CMD)
- Deposit the caution money amount based on your turnover slab.
- Exemption: MSMEs with valid Udyam certificates can apply for the CMD waiver.
Best Practices for Profile Setup
- Double check spelling across documents: Ensure details on PAN, Udyam, and GST match exactly (including spacing and full stops).
- Verify Bank Accounts: Ensure your caution money is deposited using net banking from your registered business bank account. Do not pay using third-party accounts.
