Waive GST registration for e-commerce selling, urges, The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT)

18 January 2022, Mumbai:

Saying it runs contrary to Prime Minister’s ‘Digital India’ vision, the Confederation of All India Traders has urged FM Nirmala Sitharaman, to waive the mandatory GST registration for selling products through e-commerce platforms. P C Bhartia, President and Praveen Khandelwal, Secretary General, CAIT said, this provision of the Act bars lakhs of traders across the country rom using e-commerce to sell their products. It has become a huge deterrent and a major roadblock for traders looking to embrace digital commerce across the country, they added.

They urged the centre to exempt GST registration for digital commerce as these small retailers have annual turnover of less than Rs 40 lakh, which is the threshold for GST registration. Instead of GST registration, Aadhar number, bank details or similar other measures may be designated as essential qualification for onboarding on e-commerce portals, the CAIT members added.
