Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the GST treatment for sweet shop items sold via e-commerce platforms like Zomato or Swiggy, or through home delivery. It establishes that these sales should be treated as shop sales, not restaurant services, and therefore attract the standard GST rate applicable to the specific product, rather than the 5% restaurant rate. The ruling references a case where goods sold over the counter are distinct from restaurant offerings and should not be taxed at the lower restaurant rate.

Shop sale ..........
Shop sale
It will be treated. as shop sale .
Reference :
AAAR in case of M/s Kundan misthan Bhandar : The goods sold over the counter have nothing to do with the restaurant part. Their sale can’t attract 5% tax. In this case their respective rates, as an item will be relevant.
The supply of a bunch of items from the counter wont attract the composite supply provision. It will get covered in mixed supply. In this case the tax rate of item having the maximum will be relevant. As per the provisions of section 8 of CGST Act, tax rate of highest rate item will be applied on entire supply.
