Nasscom Requests Delay in Implementing Revised GST Rules on E-Commerce Deliveries
Nasscom has requested the Indian government to delay implementing revised GST rules on e-commerce delivery services until January 1, 2027, following the GST Council's 57th meeting decisions. The new rules impose a 5% GST without input tax credit on delivery services, affecting platforms and logistics providers. Nasscom highlighted the need for significant system adjustments and urged industry consultations to address implementation challenges. The changes aim to standardize GST treatment but may impact companies like Flipkart and Meesho that previously claimed exemptions.
