Online shopping in most of the locations in kerala including the state capital trivandrum is facing serious issues. Major players in the field like flipkart, myntra , jabong , shopclues , snapdeal etc have shopped shipping to kerala. When you enter your pincode of most of the locations in kerala, it is showing as the Product cannot be delivered to the location. On myntra it is showing as We cannot deliver to this pincode anymore.
Reports says that this is because of the tax issues with the kerala government. As of now the sales tax for online shopping is credited to the state where the online shop is situated or registered. As the volume of online shopping increased in kerala, a notable reduction in tax through sales is leading to these issues.
At first cash on delivery was discontinued as in this case the cash transaction is happening in kerala and this will lead to the payment of tax in kerala. But now most of the sites have stopped shipping to most of the locations we tried placing an order. This is because the courier service cant deliver these products due to these type of issues.
There may be other reasons also which is leading to a halt for online shopping experience in kerala. Companies and government has to sort out a way to end the issues and the people will be able to enjoy the online shopping experience only after sometime.
