Nasscom seeks deferral of new GST rules for ecommerce deliveries to January 2027

Nasscom has asked India's finance ministry to postpone revised GST rules for ecommerce delivery services from November 1 to January 1, 2027. The new norms set a 5% GST rate without input tax credit for specified delivery services and broaden the scope of services for which marketplaces must pay tax.

• Rules were notified on October 27 and take effect on November 1
• GST on specified delivery services drops from 18% to 5% without ITC
• Nasscom wants a transition period to rework ERP and tax systems
• The body also seeks consultations with marketplaces and logistics firms
