In fact, just before the festive season, the country's three big food delivery companies, Zomato, Swiggy, and Magicpin, have increased their platform fees, and from September 22, 18% GST will also start being levied on delivery charges. That is, ordering food online will now become more expensive for millions of users.

Which company increased the platform fee by how much?

Swiggy has increased the platform fee by Rs 15, while Zomato is charging Rs 12.50 and Magicpin is charging Rs 10 as platform fee.

How expensive will the food of which company be?

From September 22, 18% GST will start being levied on delivery charges. According to PTI, customers will now have to pay Rs 2 more on Zomato and Rs 2.6 more on Swiggy for every order. However, Magicpin has said that it is already paying 18% GST, so customers will not face any new problem. Also, the platform fee will remain Rs 10.
