[Resolved]  Flipkart — gst being levied on mrp

Website:firstcry.com

Diaper mamy poko pants-62 pieces
Mrp - 930, pack of 2 (Combo) - 36% discount on mrp
Effective price = 1190

But as per the final payment details, site is calculating:

Value of products:1860.00 discount (-): 669.60 shipping charges:free estimated gst 142.85 final payment1333.25

As far as i understand, gst cannot be levied on mrp but company is claiming that this is as per law and gst is applicable incase of discount. Please see the response from site below:

This is to inform you that, gst means goods and service tax. It is a single indirect tax on the sale of goods and services throughout india. Gst is applicable w. E. F. 1st july, 2017.

The additional gst charged on the discounted price is absolutely as per law. The law restricts us to charge gst more than the gst applicable on mrp.
The communication as to charging of extra gst on the discounted price is very clear mentioned in each banners and a detailed explanation as to the calculation and basis is defined in the terms o[censored]se. Also at the time of making a transaction, you are bound by the terms o[censored]se of the site.

For more information about gst kindly request you to go through this link,

The gst collected on the discounted price is duly deposited with the respective gst authorities having jurisdiction or adjusted as per the applicable gst act and rules.

Please clarify if this is as per law?
