State-wise GST rule puts Indian OTAs at disadvantage, need centralised registration: MakeMyTrip CEO

Rajesh Magow, Co-founder & Group CEO, MakeMyTrip said, “Online travel agents (OTAs) in India are struggling with the challenging requirement of obtaining state-wise GST registrations. Allowing OTAs to register in State(s) through their central head office would significantly alleviate these burdens, streamline operations, and enhance efficiency. This requirement puts national OTAs at a disadvantage compared to international competitors who are not subjected to similar regulations.”
