Uber Goes Cash-Only for Auto Rides: What You Need to Know

Uber has made a significant shift in its auto rickshaw rides by adopting a cash-only payment model, aligning itself with competitors like Namma Yatri, Rapido, and Ola. This change follows a subscription model launched on February 18, which eliminates the 5% GST previously collected from passengers. However, conflicting tax rulings have raised questions about whether Uber should still collect GST under this model. Passengers now pay drivers directly using cash or UPI, while Uber generates only receipts, not tax invoices. This shift aims to reduce the commission burden on drivers, enhancing their earnings and attracting more to the platform.
