I’ve noticed that Swiggy and Zomato club together “Taxes & Restaurant Charges” in the bill without breaking them down separately. This makes it unclear how much is being charged as GST versus any other restaurant-imposed charges.

1. Is it legal for them to club GST and restaurant charges together instead of showing a proper breakdown?
2. Shouldn’t the GST amount be clearly mentioned separately as per GST rules?
3. Some restaurant bills on Swiggy/Zomato don’t even display a GSTIN. Isn’t that a violation of the GST Act, which mandates that invoices must include the respective GSTIN if the restaurant is GST-registered?

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a way to raise this concern with tax authorities or consumer forums? Would love to hear thoughts from tax experts or anyone familiar with GST compliance in India.

You have to click on GST and extra charges to see the breakup. Nothing shady here
