Nasscom is urging India’s finance ministry and the GST authorities to defer the implementation of revised GST rules affecting e-commerce delivery services. The industry body wants the rules pushed back to January 1, with multiple outlets reporting a later date of January 1, 2027, while the final government notification is still awaited.

Across the coverage, outlets link the request to the GST framework being recommended by the GST Council, which is described as involving a 5% rate and the absence of input tax credit. One outlet focuses more directly on the deferment request and timing, while another adds context by outlining what the new rules would change for e-commerce deliveries and explains Nasscom’s rationale for seeking additional time.
