GST Registration — Coordinated through Batchwise
GST Registration — coordinated by Batchwise, filed by a vetted partner under their own credentials. ARN tracking and clarification responses included. ₹1,499 flat.
What this is
New GST registration (GSTIN issuance via FORM GST REG-01) for businesses in India — proprietors, partnerships, LLPs, private limited companies, and HUFs. You upload PAN, Aadhaar, business address proof, and bank details; engagement is routed to a vetted partner who files the application, tracks the ARN through GST Department processing, responds to any clarification under FORM GST REG-03, and confirms GSTIN issue.
Batchwise coordinates the workflow end-to-end. Batchwise itself does not file with the GST Department; the partner files under their own credentials.
Who needs this
- Businesses crossing the turnover threshold — currently ₹40 lakh for goods, ₹20 lakh for services (₹20 lakh / ₹10 lakh in special-category states). Mandatory registration under Section 22 of CGST Act.
- Inter-state suppliers of taxable goods — mandatory registration regardless of turnover under Section 24.
- E-commerce operators and persons supplying through e-commerce — mandatory under Section 24.
- Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons — temporary registration under Section 24.
- Persons required to deduct or collect tax under GST (TDS / TCS under GST) — mandatory registration.
- Voluntary registrants — businesses below the threshold who choose registration to claim Input Tax Credit, supply to GST-registered customers, or appear more credible to enterprise buyers.
- Composition scheme applicants — small businesses opting for the simplified composition scheme under Section 10.

The marketplace model
Batchwise is a coordination platform, not a tax-filing firm. Every GST registration is filed by a vetted partner — typically a Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, GST Practitioner, or registered tax advisor — under their own credentials on the GST portal. The application shows the partner as the preparer.
What Batchwise does: dashboard, document workspace, partner assignment, payment processing, status tracking, deliverable storage, methodology consistency.
What the partner does: prepares FORM GST REG-01, validates HSN/SAC codes, files under their own credentials, responds to Department clarifications, owns the post-registration relationship.
State-specific considerations
GST registration is filed centrally on the GST portal but the state of registration matters for several reasons:
- SGST jurisdiction — half of CGST + SGST goes to the registering state.
- Special-category states have lower turnover thresholds for mandatory registration: ₹20 lakh (goods) / ₹10 lakh (services) instead of ₹40 lakh / ₹20 lakh. Currently applies to 11 states including all North-Eastern states, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, J&K, Ladakh, and Sikkim.
- State-level companion registrations — most states require trade license (municipal corporation), Shops & Establishment registration, and Professional Tax registration separately. These are not included in GST Registration but can be coordinated separately — see our forthcoming jurisdictional service pages.
- Multi-state operations — businesses operating in multiple states need separate GST registration in each state where they have a taxable presence (place of business).
Composition scheme guidance
Small businesses with aggregate turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75 lakh in special-category states) for goods, or up to ₹50 lakh for services and mixed suppliers, may opt for the composition scheme under Section 10 of CGST Act. Key features:
| Feature | Composition | Regular |
|---|---|---|
| GST rate | 1% traders / 5% restaurants / 6% services + mixed | 0% / 5% / 12% / 18% / 28% per HSN |
| Input Tax Credit | Cannot claim | Can claim per Section 16 |
| Collection from customers | Cannot collect GST separately | Collects GST on tax invoices |
| Returns | CMP-08 quarterly + GSTR-4 annual | GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B monthly / quarterly + GSTR-9 annual |
| Inter-state outward supply | Not allowed (intra-state only) | Allowed |
The partner discusses regime selection during preparation. For most B2C small businesses with intra-state operations, composition is operationally simpler. For B2B businesses where customers want ITC, regular registration is typically the right choice.

Frequently asked questions
When does GST registration become mandatory?
Per Section 22 of the CGST Act, registration is mandatory when aggregate turnover crosses the threshold — currently ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh in special-category states) and ₹20 lakh for services (₹10 lakh in special-category states). Registration is also mandatory regardless of turnover for: inter-state taxable supply of goods, e-commerce operators, casual taxable persons, non-resident taxable persons, persons liable to deduct or collect tax, and several other categories under Section 24. Voluntary registration below the threshold is also permitted and often beneficial for B2B businesses claiming Input Tax Credit.
How long does GST registration take?
Standard timeline is 7–10 working days from complete document upload, subject to Department processing. The ARN (Application Reference Number) is issued within 1–2 working days of submission; the GSTIN is typically issued within 7 working days if no clarification is sought by the GST officer. If the officer raises clarification (under FORM GST REG-03), an additional 7 working days may be needed for response. Aadhaar e-KYC authentication of the authorised signatory speeds up the process — non-Aadhaar applications may face physical verification delays.
What documents do I need?
For all applicants: PAN, Aadhaar of authorised signatory + promoters, business address proof (rent agreement + electricity bill, OR property tax receipt for owned premises), bank account proof (cancelled cheque or first page of bank statement), passport-size photo of authorised signatory. Additional for partnerships / LLPs / companies: partnership deed / LLP agreement / MoA + AoA, board resolution authorising the signatory. For HUFs: HUF deed + PAN of Karta. The dashboard provides a complete checklist after engagement starts.
Is registration the same across all states?
The CGST + SGST framework is uniform across India and registration is filed centrally on the GST portal. However: (a) the state of registration matters for SGST jurisdiction; (b) some states have additional state-level requirements (e.g., trade license, professional tax) that are separate from GST; (c) special-category states (currently 11 states including all North-Eastern + Himachal + Uttarakhand + J&K + Ladakh + Sikkim) have lower turnover thresholds for mandatory registration. The vetted partner who handles your filing accounts for state-specific nuances at registration time.
Composition scheme or regular registration?
Composition scheme (under Section 10 of CGST Act) is available for small businesses with aggregate turnover up to ₹1.5 crore (₹75 lakh in special-category states) for goods, or up to ₹50 lakh for services and mixed suppliers. Composition pays a fixed lower rate (1% for traders, 5% for restaurants, 6% for service providers) but cannot claim Input Tax Credit and cannot collect GST from customers. The partner reviews your business profile and recommends regular vs composition before filing — but this is your decision, not theirs.
What if my application is rejected or queried?
If the GST officer raises a clarification (FORM GST REG-03), a response is required within 7 working days via FORM GST REG-04. Response is included in the ₹1,499 service fee. If the application is ultimately rejected, the partner reviews the reason and re-files at no additional service fee for one re-filing — Government processing fees (currently nil for new GST registration) are at actuals.
