Small businesses need to buy barcodes for e-commerce but GS1 India requires a minimum of 100 barcodes costing ₹62,000, which is prohibitively expensive.

GS1 India forces small businesses to purchase an expensive minimum bundle, and reseller barcodes are not accepted by major platforms like Amazon or Flipkart.
