GST Return Filing (GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B) — Coordinated through Batchwise
GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B return filing — coordinated by Batchwise, prepared and filed by a vetted partner under their own credentials. ₹999 per month à la carte; subscription tier coming soon.
What this is
Monthly (or quarterly under QRMP) GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B return filing for regular GST-registered taxpayers. You upload your sales register, purchase register, and ITC details; engagement is routed to a vetted partner who reconciles GSTR-2B against your purchase register, prepares both returns, surfaces any discrepancies for your decision, and files the returns under their own credentials on the GST portal.
À la carte single-month / single-quarter pricing at ₹999. Subscription tier (cheaper monthly recurring) is on the waitlist — coming soon. Batchwise itself does not file returns; the partner files under their credentials.
Who needs this
- Regular GST-registered businesses filing monthly GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B (default for all regular taxpayers).
- QRMP-opted businesses (turnover ≤ ₹5 crore) filing quarterly GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B with monthly PMT-06 payment.
- Businesses needing one-off help for a single month (e.g., temporary in-house resource gap).
- Businesses considering ongoing outsourcing — try à la carte for one month, then join the subscription waitlist if it works.
- Composition scheme taxpayers file CMP-08 (quarterly) and GSTR-4 (annual) — separate scope; contact us if needed.
How the engagement works
- Sign up + select service. Sign in; pick "GST Return Filing".
- Pay ₹999. Razorpay; covers one month for monthly filers or one quarter for quarterly QRMP filers.
- Upload data. Sales register, purchase register, debit / credit notes, e-invoice JSONs (if applicable). Dashboard shows the checklist.
- Partner assignment. Vetted partner contact appears in your dashboard.
- GSTR-2B reconciliation. Partner downloads GSTR-2B from the portal, reconciles against your purchase register, and shares a 3-bucket report: (a) ITC available + claimable, (b) ITC in books but not in 2B (supplier pending), (c) ITC in 2B but not in books (likely missed entry).
- GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B preparation. Partner prepares both returns. GSTR-3B tax computation includes ITC adjustments per the reconciliation; you approve any items held in suspense or claimed at risk.
- Filing. Returns filed on the GST portal under partner's credentials. Filed return acknowledgments uploaded to your dashboard.
- Tax payment. If tax payable after ITC offset, partner generates the payment challan; you complete payment from your registered bank account (cannot be done by partner — must be from registered taxpayer's account).

All prices GST-exclusive. The à la carte fee includes GSTR-2B reconciliation, return preparation, partner filing, and one round of clarifications. Late filing penalties (Section 47 late fees + Section 50 interest on tax outstanding) are at actuals — not waivable through this service.
Subscription waitlist
Subscription tier offers materially lower per-month pricing for ongoing monthly / quarterly filing — typically 30–50% cheaper than per-month à la carte. Express interest to be notified when the subscription tier launches; early-access tier-pricing will be honoured.

The marketplace model
Batchwise is a coordination platform, not a tax-filing firm. Every GST return is filed by a vetted partner under their own credentials on the GST portal. Filed returns show 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: GSTR-2B reconciliation, return preparation, your-approval workflow, filing under their credentials, owns the post-filing relationship for any GST Department follow-up.
Common reconciliation findings worth knowing
The most common discrepancies surfaced during GSTR-2B reconciliation:
- Supplier non-filing — invoice in your books but supplier hasn't filed GSTR-1; ITC unavailable per Section 16(2)(c). Action: chase supplier, otherwise hold ITC in suspense.
- Mismatched invoice numbers / dates — supplier reported with slight variation; ITC available but reconciliation flag raised. Action: get supplier to amend in next GSTR-1.
- Mismatched GSTIN — supplier filed under a different GSTIN; ITC unavailable to your GSTIN. Action: get supplier to amend.
- RCM not paid — purchases attracting reverse charge under Section 9(3) / 9(4) where you haven't paid RCM. Action: pay RCM, claim ITC in next month.
- Blocked credits under Section 17(5) — ITC on motor vehicles, food, club membership, employee benefits, etc. is blocked. Action: ensure these are not claimed.
- Time-barred ITC — invoices older than the time limit under Section 16(4) (currently November of the next financial year for the previous FY). Action: claim before deadline; otherwise lost.
The partner flags each of these in the monthly reconciliation report; you decide on the action for items held in suspense or claimed at risk.

Frequently asked questions
What returns are filed under this service?
GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and GSTR-3B (summary return) — the two recurring returns that every regular GST-registered taxpayer must file. The à la carte fee covers one month for monthly filers, or one quarter (which itself spans three monthly GSTR-3Bs and one quarterly GSTR-1 under the QRMP scheme) for quarterly filers. Annual GSTR-9 + GSTR-9C is a separate engagement — see GSTR-9 Annual Return Filing.
Monthly or quarterly — which applies to me?
Default is monthly filing. Taxpayers with aggregate turnover up to ₹5 crore in the preceding financial year may opt into the QRMP (Quarterly Return Monthly Payment) scheme — quarterly GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B filing with monthly tax payment via PMT-06. The partner verifies your QRMP opt-in status before preparation; if not opted in, returns are filed monthly.
Does Batchwise file the returns, or does a CA?
Batchwise does not file returns itself. Engagement is routed to a vetted partner — typically a Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, GST Practitioner, or registered tax professional — who reconciles GSTR-2B with your purchase register, prepares GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and files them on the GST portal under their own credentials. You see the returns and approve before filing.
What about GSTR-2B reconciliation?
GSTR-2B reconciliation is included in the service. The partner downloads your GSTR-2B for the period, reconciles it against your purchase register, and surfaces: (a) ITC available per GSTR-2B (claimable), (b) ITC in books but not in GSTR-2B (supplier filing pending — held in suspense or claimed at risk per your policy), (c) ITC in GSTR-2B but not in books (likely missed entry — added to books before filing). The reconciliation report is shared with you before GSTR-3B is finalised.
What documents do I need to upload each month?
Sales register / outward supplies for the period (with B2B, B2C, export, and exempt supply breakdown), purchase register / inward supplies for the period (with B2B inputs and inputs eligible for ITC), GST cash ledger balance (visible from the GST portal), any debit / credit notes issued or received, e-invoice JSON files (if applicable — currently mandatory for entities with aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore). The dashboard provides a per-month checklist.
When are returns due?
GSTR-1 monthly: 11th of the following month (e.g., May 2026 GSTR-1 due by 11 June 2026). GSTR-1 quarterly (QRMP): 13th of the month following the quarter end. GSTR-3B monthly: 20th of the following month. GSTR-3B quarterly (QRMP): 22nd or 24th of the month following quarter end (depending on state group). Late filing attracts late fees under Section 47 (₹50 per day for nil returns, ₹100 per day otherwise — capped) plus interest under Section 50 on tax outstanding.
