OIDAR GST Registration + Filing for Foreign Sellers — from $399
If you sell digital services to Indian consumers, India requires you to register for GST and charge 18% IGST from your first sale. BatchWise handles the whole thing — registration from US$399, monthly GSTR-5A filing from $129/month. No Indian PAN, no subsidiary, one English-speaking account manager.
A business outside India that sells digital services to Indian consumers must register for Indian GST (OIDAR) and charge 18% IGST from its first sale. BatchWise registers you via Form REG-10 (from US$399, no Indian PAN or subsidiary needed) and files your monthly GSTR-5A (from $129/month) — computing the IGST from your payment-processor reports and meeting the 20th-of-month deadline, including mandatory nil returns.
What you get
1. OIDAR GST Registration — from $399 (one-time)
- Simplified all-India registration via Form REG-10 (processed at Bengaluru West)
- We act as your authorised signatory — no Indian PAN, subsidiary, director or bank account needed
- Your GST Registration Certificate (REG-06) with your OIDAR GSTIN
- Your monthly filing cycle set up and explained
2. OIDAR Monthly Filing (GSTR-5A) — from $129/month (or $1,299/year)
- We compute the 18% IGST from your B2C-India sales report (Stripe, Paddle, App Store / Play, or other processor export)
- GSTR-5A filed by the 20th every month — including the mandatory nil return when there are no Indian sales
- Filed acknowledgement + an IGST computation & payment-confirmation note each month
What we’ll need from you (registration)
- Your legal entity name + home-country Tax Identification / Unique Number
- Scanned passport with visa details of the non-resident (or, for a company/LLP, the authorisation for the signatory)
- Certificate of Incorporation (if a company/LLP)
- Bank account proof
- An authorisation / board resolution for the authorised signatory + a photograph
- The website(s) through which you supply the services
Filing-only scope: you remain the taxpayer and pay your own IGST to the government; we prepare and file. Beyond-scope items — income-tax / Significant Economic Presence advice, a funded representative (escrow) arrangement, or high-volume reconciliations — are scoped separately and never billed by surprise.
How it works
- Check that you need it. Use the free "Do I need GST in India?" checker, or just tell us about your business below.
- We register you. We prepare REG-10, act as your authorised signatory, and deliver your GSTIN (typically within about a week of complete documents).
- We file every month. Around the 10th we ask for last month’s B2C-India sales; we compute the IGST and file GSTR-5A by the 20th — nil returns included.
- You stay compliant. One English-speaking account manager, a clear monthly cycle, and your filings archived in your dashboard.
The BatchWise way
- We never hold your tax. You pay your IGST to the government; we only prepare and file. We never touch your sales revenue.
- No Indian entity required. OIDAR registration is built for foreign sellers — you register in your own company’s name.
- Priced in USD. From $399 to register and $129/month to file; our fee is an export of services.

Frequently asked questions
Who needs this service?
Any business established outside India that sells digital services (SaaS, apps, online courses, streaming, e-books, cloud, digital ads) to unregistered Indian customers. Under India’s OIDAR rules you must register for GST and charge 18% IGST from your first such sale — there is no turnover threshold. If you sell only to GST-registered Indian businesses, you generally do not need to register (reverse charge applies).
What does the $399 registration include?
Preparation and filing of your simplified all-India GST registration (Form REG-10, processed at Bengaluru West), acting as your authorised signatory, and delivery of your GST Registration Certificate (REG-06) with your OIDAR GSTIN — plus setup of your monthly filing cycle. No Indian PAN, subsidiary, director, or Indian bank account is required; you register in your company’s own name using your home-country tax ID.
What does monthly filing ($129/month) cover?
Each month we take your B2C-India sales report from your payment processor (Stripe, Paddle, App Store / Play, etc.), compute the 18% IGST due, and file your Form GSTR-5A by the statutory 20th — including the mandatory nil return in months with no Indian sales. An annual prepay option is $1,299/year. There is no input tax credit under this scheme.
Do you collect or hold our tax money?
No. In this filing-only service you pay your IGST to the Indian government yourself — we prepare and file the return; we never collect or hold your tax, and we never touch your sales revenue. Our fee is only for the service.
Does BatchWise become liable for our Indian tax?
No. This is a filing-only engagement: you remain the taxpayer and the liable person. (A funded representative arrangement, where a vetted entity carries more responsibility under an escrow structure, is a separate premium service we offer only to qualifying clients — it is not part of this $399/$129 package.)
Is the Equalisation Levy still something we need to handle?
No — it is fully abolished. The 2% e-commerce levy ended 1 August 2024 and the 6% advertising levy ended 1 April 2025. In 2026 only GST (and, separately, income tax if you cross the Significant Economic Presence thresholds) is relevant.
