India conceding ground to bring only top 100 digital companies like Google, Facebook, and Netflix into the global taxation pact may have revenue implications. This will mean that New Delhi will have to withdraw the contentious 2 per cent equalisation levy on e-commerce operators by 2023.

India, along with other developing countries, was pitching for at least euro 1 billion threshold to cover at least 5,000 global entities.
