No, Amazon will not deduct TCS under The Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and TDS under section 194-O of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for MCF orders as it is only applicable on the gross sales of products and services by sellers on the online marketplace. In case of MCF order, the same does not happen on Amazon portal and hence, there is no requirement for Amazon to deduct TDS.

Frequently asked questions:
Does Amazon deduct TCS under The Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 / TDS under section 194-O of the Income Tax Act, 1961 for MCF orders?
Does Amazon generate Dynamic QR codes (DQRC) on Shopper invoices for MCF orders?
DQRC was introduced by government of India to encourage digital payments where the customer can scan the QR Code and make payment directly using UPI-based payment Apps. While DQRC is required for Cash on Delivery (COD) transactions, Payment reference details are required to be printed in the invoice for pre-paid orders. Given MCF orders are pre-paid in nature, amazon would not generate QR codes and rather print the payment transaction ID and payment mode on the shopper invoice. Hence, every seller must provide the payment reference details for all MCF orders.
How will tax be computed on the invoices?
Amazon tax calculation system uses PTC to calculate tax on the products a seller lists on Amazon.in. Tax will be computed for all MCF orders based on the ‘per unit price’ provided during order creation, and PTC information input by you during listing creation or inbound shipment to fulfilment centers. PTCs are codes that are mapped to GST rates notified by the government (i.e. the percentage of taxes which are applicable for sale of product and services under GST). If you do not update PTC information during order creation, Amazon will use the default PTC set at Seller Central Account Level. For example, A_GEN_STANDARD@18%.
