Myntra Seller GST Return Filing: Ajio, JioMart and Snapdeal Too

✓ 5 official and published sources✓ Written for Indian sellers and small businesses

Selling on Myntra, Ajio, JioMart or Snapdeal does not create a new kind of GST return. You file the same GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B as any other online seller, under your own GSTIN. What changes is the detail: each platform gets its own row in Table 14, and you accept each platform's TCS on the portal.

Key points
  • One GSTIN files one GSTR-1 and one GSTR-3B for the period, whatever the number of platforms you sell on.
  • Each e-commerce operator that collects TCS from you gets its own row, by its GSTIN, in Table 14 of GSTR-1.
  • TCS is 0.5% of net taxable sales in total: 0.25% central tax plus 0.25% State tax under Notification 15/2024-Central Tax.
  • GSTR-1 is due on the 11th of the next month for monthly filers, and on the 13th after the quarter for quarterly filers.
  • Your TCS reaches your cash ledger only after you accept it in the TDS and TCS credit received screen and file it.

Is a Myntra seller's return different from an Amazon seller's?

No. The GST law does not have a Myntra return or an Ajio return. It has one statement of sales for your business. The platform is only the route an order took. So the work is the same as on Amazon or Flipkart: collect the month's sales and returns from each panel, add them up correctly, and put them in the right tables.

What is different is the paperwork you start from. Each platform names and lays out its reports in its own way, and they change from time to time. Download whatever sales, returns and tax report your seller panel offers for the month, and check that it shows invoice dates, the delivery State, the taxable value and the tax rate for each order. Those four fields are what the return needs.

First check: are you selling through the platform or to it?

Fashion platforms can work with brands in more than one way, and this one question decides your tables.

  • Selling through the platform. The customer buys from you, the invoice is in your name, and the platform collects the money and pays you after fees. This is a marketplace sale. It goes in your consumer sales table, and the platform collects TCS.
  • Selling to the platform. The platform buys your stock and resells it. You raise a tax invoice on the platform's GSTIN. That is a sale to a registered business, reported invoice by invoice in Table 4, and no TCS is collected on it.

Your seller agreement says which one applies. A quick test: if your settlement shows TCS held back, the platform is treating the orders as marketplace sales.

Which table holds what?

What you haveWhere it goes in GSTR-1
Orders delivered to consumers through any of the platformsTable 7, one line per delivery State and tax rate, all platforms added together, net of returns
Orders where the buyer gave a GSTIN, or stock sold to the platform itselfTable 4, invoice by invoice
Credit notes to registered buyersTable 9B
Product codes and valuesTable 12 HSN summary, combined across platforms, with separate B2B and B2C tabs since May 2025
Invoice and credit note series each platform usedTable 13, one line per series
Sales through each operator that collected TCSTable 14, one row per operator GSTIN

Table 14 adds no tax of its own. It repeats, platform by platform, sales already sitting in the other tables. We explain it in our guide to Tables 14 and 15.

How to file, step by step

  1. Download the month's sales and returns reports from every platform you sold on. Write down which files you have.
  2. Drop orders cancelled before dispatch. Keep delivered orders and customer returns.
  3. Sort each row into consumer sale, business sale, or return.
  4. Add consumer sales from all platforms by delivery State and rate, minus returns, for Table 7.
  5. List business invoices in Table 4 and credit notes to business buyers in Table 9B.
  6. Build one HSN summary for Table 12 and fill Table 13 series by series.
  7. Open TDS and TCS credit received on the portal. Each operator that filed GSTR-8 for you shows there. Use the same operator GSTINs for your Table 14 rows.
  8. File GSTR-1, then GSTR-3B by its due date, then accept the TCS rows and file that screen so the money reaches your cash ledger.

A worked example

Kavya sells kurtas from Jaipur through Myntra and Ajio, all to consumers. In October her figures, before GST, are:

  • Myntra: sales Rs 3,00,000, customer returns Rs 75,000, net Rs 2,25,000
  • Ajio: sales Rs 1,20,000, returns Rs 20,000, net Rs 1,00,000

Every kurta is priced under Rs 2,500, so GST is 5%. Her Table 7 total, all States together, is Rs 3,25,000 with GST of Rs 16,250. Table 14 has two rows: Myntra's GSTIN with Rs 2,25,000, and Ajio's GSTIN with Rs 1,00,000. TCS at 0.5% works out to Rs 1,125 from Myntra and Rs 500 from Ajio. Once she accepts those Rs 1,625 and files the screen, the amount sits in her cash ledger and can pay part of her GST.

Fashion has heavy returns. Had Kavya reported gross sales of Rs 4,20,000 without taking returns out, she would have paid GST on Rs 95,000 of goods that came back, which is Rs 4,750 extra.

The mistakes people usually make

The first is reporting the payout. The money a platform sends you is after commission, shipping, returns and TCS. Your return wants the sale value to the customer, not the amount in your bank.

The second is forgetting the small platform. A seller files Myntra carefully and leaves out twenty Snapdeal orders. The operator still reports them in GSTR-8, so the department sees sales your GSTR-1 does not show.

The third is treating stock sold to a platform as consumer sales, or the other way round. Check the agreement once and keep to it.

Do it yourself or get help?

With one or two platforms and only consumer sales, a monthly routine is enough and you can run it yourself. Get help once you add business buyers, sell both through and to a platform, or see a gap between GSTR-8 and your own figures. Read how to claim TCS credit before your first month.

How AprilTax can help

If you also sell on Amazon, Flipkart or Meesho, AprilTax's free GSTR-1 tool reads the reports you download from those three, prepares the GSTR-1 tables, runs about 30 checks and matches the TCS they reported. You get a JSON file and upload it on the GST portal yourself. Start with the free GSTR-1 tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is GST return filing for Myntra sellers different from Amazon or Flipkart?
No. You file the same GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B under your own GSTIN. Myntra sales are added to your other sales in the same tables, and Myntra gets its own row in Table 14 if it collects TCS from you.
Do I file a separate GSTR-1 for each platform?
No. One GSTIN files one GSTR-1 for each month or quarter. Sales from Myntra, Ajio, JioMart, Snapdeal and any other platform are combined, and only Table 14 and Table 13 show them platform by platform.
How much TCS do Myntra, Ajio, JioMart and Snapdeal collect?
The GST rate for TCS by e-commerce operators is 0.5% of net taxable sales in total, that is 0.25% central tax plus 0.25% State tax, under Notification 15/2024-Central Tax. It is credited back to you once you accept it on the portal.
Where do I find the GSTIN of each platform for Table 14?
Open Services, Returns, TDS and TCS credit received on the GST portal for the month. Each operator that reported your sales in GSTR-8 appears there with its GSTIN. Use the same GSTINs in Table 14.
What if I sell my stock to the platform instead of through it?
Then the platform is your buyer. You raise a tax invoice on its GSTIN and report it in Table 4 of GSTR-1 as a sale to a registered business. No TCS is collected on such a sale and it does not go in Table 14.
Should I report the payout amount or the sale value?
The sale value to the customer, before GST, net of returns. The payout is after commission, shipping charges and TCS, so it is always lower than your taxable sales.
What is the due date for GSTR-1?
The 11th of the following month for monthly filers. Quarterly filers under the QRMP scheme file by the 13th of the month after the quarter. The government can extend these dates by notification.
