ELP’s Adarsh Somani (Partner) has been quoted by News18 in their article titled ‘GST Meet on Friday: Petrol, Zomato, Swiggy, Edible Oil, What Could Be Costlier or Cheaper’. One of the most talked about proposals is the government’s intent to treat food delivery apps such as Zomato and Swiggy as restaurants and levy 5 per cent GST on them.
