No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
In the shop the customer pays 18,000 × 1.18 = ₹21,240. Online the customer pays 17,500 × 1.18 = ₹20,650. The difference is 21,240 − 20,650 = ₹590. The rate of tax is the same either way, so the lower price before tax decides it.
