Uber have approached the finance ministry, Goods and Services Tax Council and the Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) seeking clarity on whether their business was liable to tax or not. The move follows a decision from the Karnataka AAR that held that Bengaluru-based direct-to-driver app Namma Yatri was not liable to pay GST. The AAR, in the case of Juspay Technologies that runs the Namma Yatri mobility platform, relied upon the dictionary meaning of the word «through» and held that the mere act of linking service providers with customers through a digital platform did not constitute a supply of service and thus not liable to tax. Section 9(5) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 specifies that liability of GST on certain services has to be discharged by an electronic commerce operator if the services are supplied 'through" its platform. The Karnataka AAR held that as Namma Yatri was merely connecting the auto driver and passenger and its role ended on such connection, the supply was happening independent of its online application and, accordingly, Section 9(5) did not apply on it.

old Goa cafes, like Aram in Panjim, you will find a dish of onions, tomatoes and a few spices, cooked into the gravy that serves as a base for many Indian dishes. Here it’s served by itself, with pao or puri, under the odd name of ‘salad bhaji’. There is an echo here of Colonel Kenney-Herbert in his magisterial Culinary Jottings for Madras (1878) when he declares: “An excellent salad is that made by slicing raw ripe tomatoes with a Bombay onion.” He admits that “no man would partake of [it] just before a ball, or on his wedding day” for fear of the smell of raw onions on h is breath. But combining savoury-sweet tomatoes and pungent onions clearly has real culinary value, whether sliced as he suggests, diced like a kachumber, pulverised salsastyle or even cooked in salad bhaji. Defining salad is surprisingly hard. In Judith Weinraub’s Salad: A Global History (2016), she struggles to connect salads, which are usually served cold, but can also be warm; which are served alongside main dishes or as a separate course or even a meal in itself; that are mostly made of leafy greens or other vegetables, but also eggs and meat; that usually have a liquid dressing, but can also just be plain cut vegetables — and let’s not forget fruit salad!
