SOP — GST Query
Since we are a service provider and not selling any goods or products, there is no change in our current Terms and Conditions. Our GST structure remains the same. However, if the product you sell falls in a category where the GST tax rate has been reduced, you can revise your product's MRP to incorporate the reduced GST rate and pass on the benefit to your customer.
SOP — TDS Claim
Step 1: Check GST Status
Check the GST status of the seller in ICRM/panel.
If GST is Updated:
-
Ask seller for Form 16A (TDS certificate).
-
Assign the case to "FOPS" Channel.
-
Status: Awaiting Customer Response.
-
Create NFCR ticket under ACR Status.
-
Ask seller to share the required details within 24–48 hours.
"Sir/Ma'am, since your GST is registered, I can help you with the TDS claim. Please share your Form 16A (TDS certificate) on this email within 24-48 hours so our team can process the claim."
If GST is NOT Updated:
-
Seller cannot claim TDS without GST registration.
-
Inform seller to update GST first.
-
Mark the case as FCR Resolved under "Customer Support Call Center" channel.
"Sir/Ma'am, TDS can only be claimed if your GST is registered with us. Please update your GST details first, and then we can process the TDS claim."
Important: Do NOT assign the case to "Customer Support FOPS DESK Channel".
