New rules reduce the GST rate on e-commerce delivery services from 18% to 5%, but this lower rate removes the ability to claim input tax credit (ITC). Nasscom has requested a deferral from the Ministry of Finance, citing the short timeframe for companies to update their billing and accounting systems.

Key points

  • GST on delivery services dropped from 18% to 5%.
  • The new lower rate does not allow for input tax credit (ITC).
  • Nasscom has requested a deferral until January 1, 2027.
