GST applies to fees. Memberships waive some of them: Are memberships worth it?
As reported in November 2025, Blinkit charged ₹30 for delivery on carts under ₹199, a ₹4 handling fee, and a ₹20 small-cart fee on carts under ₹99. It has since cut delivery charges in parts of Gurgaon, Bangalore and Mumbai.
Below its free-delivery minimum, yes. Zepto delivers free from ₹199, or up to ₹299 at busy times (August 2026), and charged ₹30 below that (November 2025). It dropped its handling, small-cart and rain fees in November 2025; reports of the August change did not say whether they came back.
As reported in November 2025, Swiggy Instamart charged ₹30 for delivery on carts under ₹199, a ₹9.80 handling fee and a ₹15 small-cart fee on carts under ₹99, plus GST. Above ₹199, shoppers without Swiggy One paid about ₹16 in fees.
None that we can confirm everywhere. No delivery fee has been reported for JioMart’s quick delivery (the newest report is from April 2025), and Flipkart Minutes says delivery is free from ₹99 in its new app (September 2026). On the other apps a small cart usually pays something.
An extra charge on a small order, usually under ₹99, on top of the delivery fee. Its job is to make you add one more thing.
