If you know auditing sit with https://www.gst.gov.in/ website and register for GST. Or else if you are only a business person like me reach out to a good auditor and relax yourself. He will take care of GST registration.

3.Business Account:
For all type of Ecommerce website Business Account( Current Account) is must. Meesho right now allows saving account for startup people but that will not support for long run. If you want to sell your products in ecommerce seriously then you should open a current account in appropriate banks.
For some reference: Like Meesho, Flipkart also provide facility to people to open seller panel with saving account in earlier stage. But now they strictly follow people to have current account which is nothing but business account.
The same strategy is followed by Meesho. But every genuine ecommerce website wants to follow standard for the products which they sell. So it is better and good option to run your Meesho seller account with current account.
Other Documents:

At present Meesho provide FSSAI exemption for selling products in their website. But this will not extend for long run. Even if they allow people will not believe your product.
Think like a customer, if you ordered something in online and if the product incase affects your health, then what will you do? You will raise some case against the product in Meesho or by consumer right. Immediately they will delist your product if you don’t have FSSAI. In case if you are genuine seller and if you have FSSAI then you can face this kind of issue with your license.

Think in which level as you are planning to sell your food product

If you are selling cosmetic products like lipstick, face powder then OTC drug license certificate needed. As of now Meesho provided exemption for OTC drug license.
