Bulk corporate gifts for IT companies

A gift in kind is tax free for the employee up to 15,000 rupees across the whole tax year, counting every gift that person gets from you. The limit was 5,000 rupees until 31 March 2026. Above it the treatment is contested: read literally the whole value becomes taxable, not only the part above the limit, and some advisers read it the other way. Ask your tax team before you budget. Information, not tax advice.

Gifts worth up to 50,000 rupees to one employee in a financial year are not treated as a supply, so no GST falls on you. Above that most advisers say GST applies to that person's whole year of gifts, and no circular settles it. Where the benefit is written into the employment contract, CBIC treats it as part of pay and the test does not apply at all.

No. Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act blocks input tax credit on goods disposed of as gifts, and credit already taken has to be reversed. So treat the GST on this order as a real cost rather than something you recover, and budget on the number including tax.

Not for your own staff. Gifts to employees are taxed through salary instead. The rule on benefits and perquisites, which used to be Section 194R and now sits in the Income-tax Act 2025, catches people running a business or profession, such as contractors and channel partners, above 20,000 rupees a year. Information, not tax advice.

Yes. You send one address list and one purchase order. We bill each consignment against the state GSTIN you nominate, raise the e-way bill per consignment, and return proof of delivery per point. We have done this across 46 delivery points in two states.

Yes, and drinkware travels best: a bottle, a flask or a boxed pair of mugs. Cookware sets and appliances are bulky, so sending them to hundreds of separate homes costs far more per piece than sending them to your offices. Tell us the split and we will price both ways. When we deliver to homes, the place of supply follows the registration you nominate, not the home address.

Probably not. Four days from a confirmed order to delivery applies to stocked product, against a trade that normally asks for six to eight weeks. What we cannot control is the courier network in the days around the festival, when volumes rise sharply. Tell us your date and we will say plainly whether we can hold it.

We quote from 50 units. Most programmes run between 500 and 10,000. The price per gift rises at the bottom, because branding setup costs the same whether it covers 50 pieces or 5,000. Where a rollout runs team by team through the year, we quote the whole requirement once and deliver it in batches, so the price holds instead of resetting on each small order.
