Barcode Registration

GS1 barcode registration through GS1 India — mandatory for Amazon, Flipkart, retail chains, and international exports. EAN-13, UPC-A, QR Code allocation.

5.0 / 5.0

Overview

GS1 Barcode Registration through GS1 India (the authorised barcode issuing organisation, a subsidiary of GS1 Global) assigns a unique GS1 Company Prefix to a business, enabling it to create globally unique product identifiers (GTINs — Global Trade Item Numbers) and EAN-13, UPC-A, GS1-128, and QR barcodes. GS1 barcodes are the global standard for product identification used by retail chains, warehouse management systems, e-commerce platforms, and customs authorities worldwide.

Barcode registration is essential for any business wanting to supply products to organised retail (Big Bazaar, Reliance, DMart, Spencer's), export products internationally, or list on major e-commerce platforms. Amazon India, Flipkart, and Meesho mandate GS1-registered barcodes for product listings in most categories. MFiling facilitates GS1 India membership, barcode number allocation, and barcode image generation.

Annual GS1 India membership fee: Rs.4,000–1,00,000+ depending on number of barcodes (10 to unlimited). Processing time: 3–5 working days. MFiling professional charges: from Rs.3,999 inclusive of GS1 India membership and initial barcode allocation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use free barcode generators instead of GS1 India registration?
No. Amazon, Flipkart, organised retail chains, and international buyers require GS1-registered barcodes (GTINs). Free barcode generators produce visual barcodes but the numbers are not registered in the GS1 global GTIN database. Using unregistered barcodes leads to product listing rejection, scanning errors at retail POS, and customs issues during export.
Does GS1 membership require annual renewal?
Yes. GS1 India membership is renewed annually. An expired membership means your GS1 Company Prefix becomes inactive and your barcodes cannot be verified against the GTIN database. Retailers and e-commerce platforms perform barcode verification — inactive GTINs can result in delisted products. MFiling tracks renewal dates for all clients.
