MUMBAI: Govt has directed e-commerce firms to disseminate information about the GST reforms on their platforms. In a meeting held last week, it was suggested that platforms run a ‘GST Bachat Utsav’ campaign on their portals for 100 days starting Sept 22. Firms were also asked to reflect GST reduction in the bill. “All the e-commerce companies may submit an action taken report on the campaigns run by them…along with gross figures of GST saved during the campaign on fortnightly basis,” records of the meeting reviewed by TOI showed.
