CA INTERMEDIATE EXAM STUDENTS (MAY 2021 EXAM)
PREFACE
Taxation is a dynamic subject, which is not only a vast subject but also difficult to
comprehend in view of frequent amendments. Yet it is the scoring subject of your
syllabus. In addition, practice in the field of Taxation is also highly remunerative.
My association with the students has helped me to bring this Question Bank in its
present form – simplified, comprehensive and easy to understand.
7th edition of GST Question Bank incorporates the followings in various sets:
 CA Inter RTP Questions (FROM May 2018 to May 2021)
 Past Exam questions with answer as suggested by ICAI (FROM MAY 2018
to NOV 2019)
 Past ICAI Mock Test Paper
 Past ICAI GST Sample Question

Hope this Question Bank serves the purpose of the students. I shall be thankful to the
readers for their suggestions, criticism and feedback if any.

All the questions are updated as per current law applicable for exam.

This question Bank is based on GST Volume issued to CA INTER Students

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This Question Bank is a result of sincere efforts of our family members, colleagues,
associates, well-wishers and students, whose contribution cannot go unacknowledged.
Master Reyaan, my wife CA Monika Agrawal and my mother deserve special mention
for the time (on which they had the first right) they allowed me for this book.

I dedicate this book to my beloved late grandparents & Papa.

consideration from Shiv Bhawan Publications (SBP) located in Indore for supply of services by way
of temporary transfer of a copyright covered under section 13(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957
relating to original literary works of his new book. He finished his work & made available the book to
the publisher, but has yet not raised the invoice.

Mr. Vicky Frankyn is of the view that SBP is liable to pay tax under reverse charge on services
provided by him. SBP does not concur with his view and is not ready to deposit the tax under any
circumstances.

Examine whether the view of Mr. Vicky Frankyn is correct. Further, if the view of Mr. Vicky Frankyn is
correct, what is the recourse available with Mr. Vicky Frankyn to comply with the requirements of
GST law as SBP has completely refused to deposit the tax.

Solution:
Yes, the view of Mr. Vicky Frankyn is correct. GST is payable under reverse charge in case of supply of
services by an author by way of transfer/permitting the use or enjoyment of a copyright covered under
section 13(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957 relating to original literary work to a publisher located in the

the given case, person liable to pay tax is the publisher – SBP.
However, since SBP has completely refused to deposit the tax on the given transaction, Mr. Vicky Frankyn
has an option to pay tax under forward charge on the same. For the purpose, he needs to fulfill the
following conditions:
(i) since he is unregistered, he has to first take registration under the CGST Act, 2017
(ii) he needs to file a declaration, in the prescribed form, that he exercises the option to pay CGST on the

goods and/or services and that he shall not withdraw the said option within a period of 1 year from the
date of exercising such option;

(iii) he has to make a declaration on the invoice, which he would issue to SBP, in prescribed form.

GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC A.4
Solution:
Section 10(2A) provides an option to a registered person to pay maximum CGST @ 3% [Effective rate 6%
(CGST+ SGST/ UTGST)] on first supplies of goods and/or services upto an aggregate turnover of ` 50 lakh

It is clarified in the notification that first supplies of goods or services or both shall, for the purposes of
determining eligibility of a person to pay tax under this notification, include the supplies from 1st April of a
FY to the date from which he becomes liable for registration under the said Act, but for the purpose of
determination of tax payable under this notification, shall not include the supplies from the first day of April
of a financial year to the date from which he becomes liable for registration under the Act.
Thus, Care & Care Beauty Centre is eligible to pay tax under this notification upto the turnover of
` 50 lakh. The total tax payable by it is as under:-

11. IMP: Care & Care Beauty Centre wishes to opt for composition scheme under Section 10(1) from the
next financial year. You are required to advise it whether it can do so?
Note: Rate of GST applicable on such services is 18%.
Solution:
No, Care & Care Beauty Centre cannot opt for composition scheme u/s 10(1) from the next financial year.
Fundamentally, the composition scheme can be availed in respect of goods and only one service namely,
restaurant service.
As regards services other than restaurant services are concerned, only marginal supply of the such
services for a specified value along with the supply of goods and/or restaurant service, as the case may be,
is permitted under section 10(1) of CGST Act, 2017.
Therefore, a person engaged exclusively in supply of services other than restaurant services is not
eligible to opt for composition scheme u/s 10(1).

However, w.e.f. 01/01/2020; he may opt for composition scheme under sub-section (2A) of section 10
if aggregate turnover doesn’t exceeds ` 50 Lakhs in preceding FY as he is not eligible for composition
levy under Sub-section (1) & (2) of Section 10 & exclusively engaged in providing services.

12. [SUPPLY] - The temple of ancestral deity of Mr. Aman goel and his family is located at Beri, Haryana.
The temple is run by a charitable organisation registered under section 12AA of the Income Tax Act,
1961. The family has got unshakeable faith in their ancestral deity. Mr. Aman is a big entrepreneur
having flourishing business of tiles in Gurugram. Upon the birth of their first child, he donated ` 10
lakh to the said temple for construction of a sitting hall in the temple. On the main door of the sitting
hall, a name plate was placed stating “Donated by Mr. Aman Goel upon birth of his first child”.

You are required to examine the leviability of GST on the donation received from Mr. Aman Goel?

Solution:
GST Circular has clarified that when the name of the donor is displayed in the religious institution premises,
by placing a name plate or similar such acknowledgement, which can be said to be an expression of
gratitude and public recognition of donor’s act of philanthropy and is not aimed at giving publicity to the
donor in such manner that it would be an advertising or promotion of his business, then it can be said that
there is no supply of service for a consideration (in the form of donation). There is no obligation (quid pro

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC A.5
quo) on part of recipient of the donation or gift to do anything (supply a service). Therefore, there is no GST
liability on such consideration.
In the given case, there is no reference or mention of any business activity of the donor which otherwise
would have got advertised. Thus, since the gift or donation is made to a charitable organization, the
payment has the character of gift or donation and the purpose is philanthropic (i.e., it leads to no
commercial gain) and not advertisement, hence GST is not leviable.

13. [EXEMPTION] Holiday Guest House, situated at Shimla, provides boarding & lodging services to
tourists at economical cost. The charges of a single deluxe room per day are ` 999. Mr. X has
booked one deluxe room for two days during Christmas holidays. You are required to determine
whether GST is payable by Holiday Guest House on the above booking. If yes, determine the
amount of GST so payable.

Will your answer change, if the charges of a single deluxe room per day charged by Holiday Guest
House are ` 1,000?

Solution:
Services by a hotel, inn, guest house, club or campsite, by whatever name called, for residential or lodging
purposes, having value of supply of a unit of accommodation below or equal to ` 1,000 per day or equivalent
have been exempted from GST vide an exemption notification.

Thus, in view of the above-mentioned provisions, GST is not payable by Holiday Guest House on the
booking done by Mr. X as the charges for a unit of accommodation per day is less than `1,000.
The answer will remain the same even if the charges of a single deluxe room per day is ` 1,000 as the
exemption is also available in the case where value of supply of a unit of accommodation per day is ` 1,000/
i.e., such services are taxable only where value of supply of a unit of accommodation per day exceeds `
1,000/-. Thus, no GST is payable by Holiday Guest House on the booking done by Mr. X even if the charges
of a single deluxe room per day is ` 1,000.

14. [EXEMPTION] M/s Damodar Ltd. provides services by way of storage of seasonal fruits and

sugarcane, jaggery, raw vegetable fibres such as cotton, flax, jute etc., indigo, unmanufactured tobacco,
betel leaves, tendu leaves, coffee and tea have been exempted from GST under an exemption notification

Thus, no GST is payable on the services provided by M/s Damodar Ltd. by way of storage of seasonal fruits
and vegetables in Bhatinda, Punjab.

15. [REGISTRATION] M/s Siya Ram is a trader of decorative items in Hauz Khas, Delhi. His aggregate
turnover exceeded ` 20 lakh in the month of October, 20XX. He applied for registration on GST
portal, but missed to submit the details of his bank account. His tax consultant advised him that
prior submission of bank details is mandatory to obtain registration. Examine whether the advice of
Mr. Siya Ram’s tax consultant is correct.

Solution:
The advice of Mr. Siya Ram’s consultant that prior submission of bank details is mandatory to obtain
registration is no more valid in law.
Rule 10A has been inserted in the CGST Rules, 2017 which allows the registered person to furnish
information with respect to details of bank account, or any other information, as may be required on the
common portal in order to comply with any other provision, soon after obtaining certificate of registration
and a GSTIN, but not later than 45 days from the date of grant of registration or the date on which the return

(ii) ` 28 lakh. He has another showroom in Tripura with a turnover of ` 11 lakh in the current FY.
(iii) Pulkit of Panjim, Goa is exclusively engaged in intra-State taxable supply of shoes. His aggregate
turnover in the current financial year is ` 22 lakh.
(iv) Harshit of Himachal Pradesh is exclusively engaged in intra-State supply of pan masala. His
aggregate turnover in the current financial year is ` 24 lakh.
(v) Ankit of Assam is exclusively engaged in intra-State supply of taxable services. His aggregate
turnover in the current financial year is ` 25 lakh.
(vi) Sanchit of Assam is engaged in intra-State supply of both taxable goods and services. His
aggregate turnover in the current financial year is ` 30 lakh.

Solution:
As per Section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated 07.03.2019, a
supplier is liable to be registered in the State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of goods
and/or services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds the threshold limit. The threshold limit for
a person making exclusive intra - State taxable supplies of goods is as under:-
(a) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ` 20 lakh for the States of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telangana and
Uttarakhand.
(c) ` 40 lakh for rest of India. However, the higher threshold limit of ` 40 lakh is not available to persons
engaged in making supplies of ice cream and other edible ice, whether or not containing cocoa,
Pan masala and Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes.
The threshold limit for a person making exclusive taxable supply of services or supply of both goods
and services is as under:-
(a) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ` 20 lakh for the rest of India.
In the light of the afore-mentioned provisions, the answer to the independent cases is as under:-
(i) Raghav is eligible for higher threshold limit of turnover for registration, i.e. ` 40 lakh as he is exclusively
engaged in intra-State supply of goods. However, since Raghav is engaged in supplying readymade
garments from a Special Category State i.e. Tripura, the threshold limit gets reduced to ` 10 lakh. Thus,
Raghav is liable to get registered under GST as his turnover exceeds ` 10 lakh. Further, he is required to
obtain registration in both Assam and Tripura as he is making taxable supplies from both the States.

GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC B.4
(ii) The applicable threshold limit for registration for Pulkit in the given case is ` 40 lakh as he is exclusively
engaged in intra-State taxable supply of goods. Thus, he is not liable to get registered under GST as his
turnover is less than the threshold limit.
(iii) Harshit being exclusively engaged in supply of pan masala is not eligible for higher threshold limit of ` 40
lakh. The applicable threshold limit for registration in this case is ` 20 lakh. Thus, Harshit is liable to get
registered under GST.
(iv) Though Ankit is dealing in Assam, he is not entitled for higher threshold limit for registration as the same
is applicable only in case of exclusive supply of goods while he is exclusively engaged in providing
services. Thus, the applicable threshold limit for registration in this case is ` 20 lakh and hence, Ankit is
liable to get registered under GST.
(v) Since Sanchit is engaged in supply of both taxable goods and services, the applicable threshold limit for
registration in his case is ` 20 lakh. Thus, Sanchit is liable to get registered under GST as his turnover is
more than the threshold limit.

12. Mr. Ajay has a registered repair centre where electronic goods are repaired/serviced. His repair centre
is located in State of Rajasthan and he is not engaged in making any inter-State supply of services.
His aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year (FY 18-19) is ` 45 lakh.

With reference to the provisions of the CGST Act, 2017, examine whether Mr. Ajay can opt for the
composition scheme in the current financial year from 01.04.2019 (FY 19-20)?

Is he eligible to avail benefit of concessional payment of tax under Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R)
dated 07.03.2019? Considering the option of payment of tax available to Mr. Ajay, compute the amount
of tax payable by him assuming that his aggregate turnover in the current financial year is ` 35 lakh.

Will your answer be different if Mr. Ajay procures few items required for providing repair services
from neighbouring State of Madhya Pradesh?

Solution:
Section 10 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that a registered person, whose aggregate turnover in the
preceding financial year did not exceed ` 1.5 crore (` 75 lakh in Special Category States except Assam,
Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir), may opt to pay, in lieu of the tax payable by him, an amount
calculated at the specified rates. However, if, inter alia, such registered person is engaged in the supply
of services other than restaurant services, he shall not be eligible to opt for composition levy.

In the given case, since Mr. Ajay is a supplier of repair services, he is not eligible for composition scheme
even though his aggregate turnover in the preceding FY does not exceed ` 1.5 crore. Therefore, he has to
discharge his tax liability under regular provisions at the applicable rates.

However, with effect from 01.04.2019, Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R) dated 07.03.2019 has provided an
option to a registered person whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year is upto ` 50 lakh and
who is not eligible to pay tax under composition scheme, to pay tax @ 3% [Effective rate 6% (CGST+
SGST/UTGST)] on first supplies of goods and/or services upto an aggregate turnover of ` 50 lakh made
on/after 1st April in any FY, subject to specified conditions.

Thus, in view of the above-mentioned provisions, Mr. Ajay is eligible to avail the benefit of concessional
payment of tax under Notification No. 2/2019CT (R) dated 07.03.2019 as his aggregate turnover in the
preceding FY does not exceed ` 50 lakh and he is not eligible to opt for the composition scheme.

Thus, the amount of tax payable by him under Notification No. 2/2019 CT (R) dated 07.03.2019 is ` 2,10,000
[6% of ` 35 lakh].

A registered person cannot opt for Notification No. 2/2019 CT(R) dated 07.03.2019, if inter alia, he is engaged
in making any inter-State outward supplies. However, there is no restriction on inter-State procurement
of goods. Hence, answer will remain the same even if Mr. Ajay procures few items from neighbouring
State of Madhya Pradesh.

13. IMPORTANT (4 Marks): ITC CHAPTER Advice regarding availability of input tax credit (ITC) under the
CGST Act, 2017 in the following independent cases:-
(i) AMT Co. Ltd. purchased a mini bus having seating capacity of 16 persons for transportation of its
employees from their residence to office and back.
(ii) Bangur Ceramics Ltd., a manufacturing company purchased two trucks for transportation of its
finished goods from the factory to dealers located in various locations within the country.
(iii) “Hans premium” dealing in luxury cars in Chankyapuri, Delhi purchased five Skoda VRS cars for
sale to customers.
(iv) Sun & Moon Packers Pvt. Ltd. availed outdoor catering service to run a canteen in its factory. The
Factories Act, 1948 requires the company to set up a canteen in its factory.
Solution:
(i) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia, blocks input tax credit in respect of motor vehicles for
transportation of persons having approved seating capacity of not more than 13 persons (including the
driver), except when they are used for certain specified purposes.

Since in the given case, the mini bus has a seating capacity of 16 persons, the ITC thereon will not be
blocked.
(ii) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia, blocks input tax credit in respect of motor vehicles for
transportation of persons with certain exceptions. Thus, ITC on motor vehicles for transportation of goods
is allowed unconditionally.

Therefore, ITC on trucks purchased by Bangur Ceramics Ltd for transportation of its finished goods from
the factory to dealers located in various locations within the country is allowed.
(iii) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia, blocks input tax credit in respect of motor vehicles for
transportation of persons having approved seating capacity of not more than 13 persons (including the
driver), except when they are used for making further supply of such motor vehicles.

Being a dealer of cars, “Hans Premium” has purchased the cars for further supply. Therefore, ITC on such
cars is allowed even though seating capacity is less than 13.
(iv) Section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017 inter alia, blocks input tax credit in respect of outdoor catering
services. However, ITC is available on such services, when the same are provided by an employer to its
employees under a statutory obligation.

Thus, in view of the above- mentioned provisions, Sun & Moon packers Pvt. Ltd. can avail ITC in respect
of outdoor catering services availed by it as the same is being provided under a statutory obligation.

which is 21st July, 20XX.

Net GST payable in cash Nil Nil Nil

Since sufficient balance of ITC of CGST is available for paying CGST liability and cross utilization of
ITC of CGST and SGST is not allowed, it is beneficial to use ITC of IGST to pay SGST (after paying
IGST liability) to minimize cash outflow.

6. [Payment of Tax] Sahil is a supplier of taxable goods in Karnataka. He got registered under GST in the

(a) Are manual challans allowed under GST?

(c) Is cross utilization among Major and Minor heads of the electronic cash ledger permitted?

7. [Return] M/s Cavenon Enterprises, a registered supplier of designer wedding dresses under regular
scheme, has aggregate annual turnover of ` 30 lakh in the preceding financial year. It is of the view
that in the current financial year, it is permitted to file its monthly statement of outward supplies –
GSTR 1 - on a quarterly basis while its accountant advises it to file the same on a monthly basis. You
are required to advise M/s Cavenon Enterprises on the same.

During a given tax period in the current financial year, owing to an off-season, M/s Cavenon
Enterprises has not made any taxable supply. Therefore, M/s Cavenon Enterprises opines that no
return under GST is required to be filed for the said period. You are required to examine the technical
veracity of the opinion of M/s Cavenon Enterprises.

Solution:
Section 37 of the CGST Act, 2017 stipulates that GSTR-1 for a particular month is required to be filed on or
before the 10th day of the immediately succeeding month, i.e. on a monthly basis.
However, presently, as a measure of easing the compliance requirement for small tax payers, GSTR-1 has
been allowed to be filed quarterly by small tax payers with aggregate annual turnover up to ` 1.5 crore in the
preceding financial year or the current financial year. Tax payers with annual aggregate turnover above ` 1.5
crore will however continue to file GSTR- 1 on a monthly basis.
In view of the same, M/s Cavenon Enterprises can file its GSTR-1 on quarterly basis as its aggregate
turnover does not excced ` 1.5 crore in the preceding financial year.
Further, GSTR-1 needs to be filed even if there is no business activity in a tax period. Thus, in the present
case, even if no supply has been made by M/s Cavenon Enterprises, a NIL return is required to be filed for
the relevant tax period.

8. [Value of Supply] Kamal Book Depot, a wholesaler of stationery items, registered in Mumbai, has

(ii) Freight & Cartage 2,000
(iii) Transit insurance 1,500
(iv) Extra designing charges 6,000
(v) Taxes by Municipal Authority 500

the quality of the goods, he made the payment of goods the same day and simultaneously placed
another order on Kamal Book Depot of stationery items amounting to ` 10,00,000 to be delivered in
the month of December, 20XX**.
On receipt of second order, Kamal Book Depot allowed a discount of ` 20,000 on the first order
placed by Mr. Mehta.
Compute the GST liability of Kamal Book Depot for the month of November, 20XX assuming the rates
of GST on the goods supplied as under:

Would your answer be different if expenses (i) to (v) given in above table are already included in the
price of ` 2,00,000?
Note:-
(i) All the amounts given above are exclusive of GST.
(ii) Kamal Book Depot and Mr. Mehta are not related persons and price is the sole consideration of
the supply.
**Payment and invoice for the second order will also be made in the month of December, 20XX only.

Notes:-
1. As per section 15(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, the value of a supply is the transaction value i.e. the price
actually paid or payable for the said supply.
2. All incidental expenses including packing charged by the supplier to the recipient are includible in the
value of supply in terms of section 15(2) of the CGST Act, 2017.
3. The given supply is a composite supply involving supply of goods (stationery items) and services (transit
insurance and freight) where the principal supply is the supply of goods.
As per section 8(a) of the CGST Act, 2017, a composite supply is treated as a supply of the principal
supply involved therein and charged to tax accordingly.
4. Any amount charged for anything done by the supplier in respect of the supply of goods or services or
both at the time of, or before delivery of goods or supply of services; is includible in the value of supply
vide section 15(2) of the CGST Act, 2017. Thus, extra designing charges are to be included in the value
of supply.
5. The taxes by Municipal Authorities are includible in the value of supply in terms of section 15(2) of the
CGST Act, 2017.
6. In the given case, Mr. Mehta is allowed a discount of ` 20,000 on the goods supplied to him in the
month of November, 20XX. Since the said goods have already been delivered by Kamal Book Depot,
this discount will be a post-supply discount.

Further, value of supply shall not include any discount which is given after the supply has been
effected, if—
(i) such discount is established in terms of an agreement entered into at or before the time of such supply
and specifically linked to relevant invoices; and
(ii) input tax credit as is attributable to the discount on the basis of document issued by the supplier has
been reversed by the recipient of the supply [Section 15(3) of the CGST Act, 2017].
However, in the given case, post-supply discount given to Mr. Mehta will not be allowed as a deduction from
the value of supply since the discount policy was not known before the time of such supply although the
discount can be specifically linked to relevant invoice (invoice pertaining to stationery items supplied to Mr.
Mehta in November, 20XX).
In case the expenses (i) to (v) given in above table are already included in the price of ` 2,00,000:
Since these expenses are includible in the value of supply by virtue of the reasons mentioned in explanatory
notes above, no further addition will be required. Resultantly, the value of taxable supply will be ` 2,00,000
and CGST and SGST will be ` 18,000 and ` 18,000 respectively.

1. Services supplied by an individual advocate to any business entity located in the taxable territory by way
of legal services, directly or indirectly are taxable under reverse charge mechanism. Thus, tax is payable

Further, as per section 49(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, amount available in the electronic credit ledger [ITC
amount] may be used for making payment towards output tax. However, tax payable under reverse
charge is not an output tax in terms of section 2(82) of the CGST Act, 2017. Therefore, tax payable under
reverse charge cannot be set off against the input tax credit and thus, will have to be paid in cash.
2. Every registered person is entitled to take credit of input tax charged on any inward supply of goods
and/or services which are used or intended to be used in the course or furtherance of his business in
terms of section 16 of CGST Act, 2017.

6. Input tax credit is available only upon the receipt of goods in terms of section 16(2) of CGST Act, 2017.

3. [Composition Scheme] - M/s. Handsome and Likemi Company, a partnership firm at Mumbai (contact
SATC 8527230445 for PDF Notes) is running a mobile phone showroom. Along with mobile phone
showroom, it is also engaged in providing health and fitness services.

Turnover of the mobile phone showroom was ` 120 lakh and receipts of the health and fitness service
was ` 8 lakh in the preceding financial year.

(i) With reference to the provisions of the CGST Act, 2017, examine whether the firm can opt for the
composition scheme under Section 10(1),

(ii) If M/s. Handsome and Likemi Company obtain separate registration for their mobile phone
showroom & for health fitness centre, can it opt for composition scheme only for mobile phone
showroom?

Solution:
As per section 10(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, the following registered persons, whose aggregate turnover in
the preceding financial year did not exceed ` 1.5 crore [` 75 lakh in Special Category States except
Assam, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir], may opt to pay tax under composition levy.
(a) Manufacturer,
(b) Persons engaged in making supplies referred to in clause (b) of paragraph 6 of Schedule II (restaurant
services), and
(c) Any other supplier eligible for composition levy.
Thus, essentially, the composition scheme can be availed in respect of goods and only one service namely,
restaurant service.
However, the scheme permits supply of other marginal services for a specified value along with the
supply of goods and restaurant service, as the case may be. Such marginal services can be supplied
for a value up to 10% of the turnover in the preceding year or ` 5 lakh, whichever is higher.

In view of the above-mentioned provisions, the answer to the given is as under:-

(i) Aggregate turnover in preceding financial year is 1.28 crores which does not exceeds 1.5 crores. M/s
Handsome and Likemi Company is eligible for composition scheme under Section 10(1) in current
financial year provided Value of health and fitness service does not exceeds 10% of the turnover in
the preceding year or ` 5 lakh, whichever is higher.

(ii) Where more than one registered persons are having the same Permanent Account Number, the
registered person shall not be eligible to opt for composition scheme unless all such registered
persons opt to pay tax under composition scheme.

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445

Therefore, M/s. Handsome and Likemi Company will not be able to opt for composition scheme only for
mobile phone showroom as all the registrations under the same PAN have to opt for composition
scheme.

4. IMPORTANT - [Registration & Tax Invoice Chapter] Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd. of Telangana engaged in the
supply of gifts items provides you the following details:-
S.No. Particulars Date
Commencement of the business of supplying
1 goods 01.08.20XX
2 Turnover exceeds ` 10,00,000 on 15.08.20XX
3 Turnover exceeds ` 20,00,000 on 05.09.20XX
4 Application for registration made on 28.09.20XX
5 Registration certificate granted on 06.10.20XX
The company seeks your advice as to how it should raise revised tax invoices for supplies made. Is
there any specific provision for issuance of revised tax invoices to unregistered customers? Explain.

Solution:
As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated 07.03.2019, a
supplier is liable to be registered in the State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of goods
and/or services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds the threshold limit. The threshold limit for
a person making exclusive intra - State taxable supplies of goods is as under:-
(a) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ` 20 lakh for the States of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telangana and
Uttarakhand.
(c) ` 40 lakh for rest of India. However, the higher threshold limit of ` 40 lakh is not available to persons
engaged in making supplies of ice cream and other edible ice, whether or not containing cocoa,
Pan masala and Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes.

In the given case, Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd is located in Telangana. Though Supplier of goods are exempt
from registration upto aggregate turnover of ` 40,00,000 but this exemption is not applicable for Supplier of
goods located in Telangana. Here Limit of ` 20,00,000 is applicable.
A supplier whose aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds ` 20 lakh in Telangana State is liable to
apply for registration within 30 days from the date of becoming liable to registration (i.e., the date of crossing
the threshold limit of ` 20 lakh) vide section 22 of CGST Act, 2017.

Where the application is submitted within said period, the effective date of registration is the date on which the
person becomes liable to registration; otherwise it is the date of grant of registration.

Every registered person who has been granted registration with effect from a date earlier than the date of
issuance of registration certificate to him, may issue revised tax invoices in respect of taxable supplies
effected during this period within 1 month from the date of issuance of registration certificate [Section
31].

Here, Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd. has made the application for registration within 30 days of becoming liable for
registration, the effective date of registration becomes the date on which the company becomes liable to
registration i.e. 05.09.20XX.

Thus, Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd. may issue revised tax invoices against the invoices already issued during the
period between effective date of registration (05.09.20XX) and the date of issuance of registration certificate
(06.10.20XX), within 1 month from 06.10.20XX.

Further, Luv & Kush Pvt. Ltd may issue a consolidated revised tax invoice in respect of all taxable supplies
made to unregistered dealers during such period. However, in case of inter-State supplies made to
unregistered dealers, a consolidated revised tax invoice cannot be issued if the value of a supply
exceeds ` 2,50,000.

(ii) Ramfal Lalaji, an agriculturist, has stored sugarcane in a warehouse. He has taken fumigation
services in the said warehouse from Gupta Pest Control Co. for which he paid the consideration

(i) Services provided by an educational institution by way of conduct of entrance examination against
consideration in the form of entrance fee are exempt from GST vide Notification No. 12/2017 CT (R)
dated 28.06.2017 as amended.

not payable in this case.

(ii) Services by way of fumigation in a warehouse of agricultural produce are exempt from GST vide

Solution:
(i)
(a) VERY IMP Notification No. 12/2017 CT (R) dated 28.06.2017 has inter alia exempted the services provided
by the State Government to a business entity with an aggregate turnover of up to ` 20 lakh (` 10 lakh in case
of a Special Category States) in the preceding FY. However, the same shall not apply to services by way
of renting of immovable property.

In the given case, services by way of renting of immovable property is provided by Maharashtra Government
to Ganpati Morya Pvt. Ltd, registered in Maharashtra. Therefore, the above exemption will not apply in
this case even though the turnover of the company was less than ` 20 lakh in the preceding financial
year. Thus, GST is payable in the given case.

Notification No. 13/2017 CT (R) dated 28.06.2017 as amended inter alia provides that reverse charge is
applicable in case of services supplied by the State Government by way of renting of immovable property to a
person registered under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. Thus, GST is payable by Ganpati
Morya Pvt. Ltd., being a registered person in the present case.

(b) Notification No. 13/2017 CT (R) dated 28.06.2017 inter alia provides that GST on supply of services by
director of a company to the said company located in the taxable territory is payable on reverse charge basis.

Therefore, in the given case, person liable to pay GST is the recipient of services, i.e., A2Z Pvt. Ltd.
Company.

(ii) As per section 2(62) of CGST Act, 2017, “input tax” in relation to a registered person, means the
central tax, State tax, integrated tax or Union territory tax charged on any supply of goods or services
or both made to him and includes —
(a) the integrated goods and services tax charged on import of goods;
(b) the tax payable under the provisions of sub -sections (3) and (4) of section 9;
(c) the tax payable under the provisions of sub -section (3) and (4) of section 5 of the IGST Act;
(d) the tax payable under the provisions of sub -section (3) and sub-section (4) of section 9 of the respective

10. [SUPPLY CHAPTER] Examine whether the activity of import of service in the following independent
cases would amount to supply under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017?

(i) Miss Shriniti Kaushik received vaastu consultancy services for her residence located at Bandra,
Mumbai from Mr. Racheal of Sydney (Australia). The amount paid for the said service is 5,000
Australian dollar.

(ii) Miss Shriniti Kaushik received vaastu consultancy services for her residence located at Bandra,
Mumbai from her brother, Mr. Varun residing in Sydney (Australia). Further, Miss Shriniti did not
pay any consideration for the said service.

(iii) Miss Shriniti Kaushik received vaastu consultancy services for her business premises located at
Bandra, Mumbai from her brother, Mr. Varun residing in Sydney (Australia). Further, Miss Shriniti
did not pay any consideration for the said service.

Solution:
(i) Supply, under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia,

 includes import of services for a consideration


 even if it is not in the course or furtherance of business.

Thus, although the import of service for consideration by Miss. Shriniti Kaushik is not in course or
furtherance of business, as the vaastu consultancy service has been availed in respect of residence,
it would amount to supply.

[Taxability - Evenif it is treated as Supply, it is an exempted Supply as Per Notification No. 12/2017
CT (R) dated 28.06.2017 as amended as import of service is used by Individual for personal
purpose.]

(ii) Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Schedule I provides that import of services by a taxable
person from a related person located outside India, without consideration is treated as supply if it is
provided in the course or furtherance of business.

In the given case, import of service without consideration by Miss Shriniti from her brother – Mr. Varun
[brother, being member of the same family, is a related person] will not be treated as supply as it is not
in course or furtherance of business.

Notes:-
1. Services supplied by an individual advocate to any business entity located in the taxable territory is a
notified service on which tax is payable on reverse charge basis by the recipient of services.

2. Services supplied by a director of a company to the said company is a notified service on which tax is
payable on reverse charge basis by the recipient of services.

3. As per section 13 of the CGST Act, 2017, the time of supply of services in case of reverse charge
is earliest of the following:-
(a) Date of payment as entered in the books of account of the recipient or the date on which the payment
is debited to his bank account, whichever is earlier, or
(b) Date immediately following 60 days since the date of issue of invoice.

Provisions of time of supply as provided under section 13 of the CGST Act are also applicable for
inter-State supply vide section 20 of the IGST Act.

In view of the aforesaid provisions, the time of supply and due date for payment of tax in the given
cases would be determined as under:

(i) Time of supply of the services is the date immediately following 60 days since the date of
issue of invoice, i.e. 06.09.20XX. The due date for payment of tax is 20.10.20XX with return of
September, 20XX.

(ii) Time of supply of service is 20.11.20XX (Date of payment) and due date for payment of tax is
20.12.20XX with return of November, 20XX.
4. The due date for payment of tax in case (i) is 20.10.20XX with return of September, 20XX. However, the
payment of tax is actually made on 11.11.20XX. Thus, payment of tax is delayed by 22 days.

In case of delayed payment of tax, interest @ 18% per annum is payable for the period for which the tax
remains unpaid starting from the day succeeding the day on which such tax was due to be paid. In view of
the same, in the given case, interest payable would be as follows:

Amount of interest payable = ` 22,500 × 18% × 22/365 = ` 244 (rounded off)

7. [SUPPLY] - Sahab Sales, an air-conditioner dealer in Janakpuri, Delhi, needs 4 air-conditioners for his
newly constructed house in Safdarjung Enclave. Therefore, he transfers 4 air-conditioners [on which
ITC has already been availed by it] from its stock, for the said purpose. Examine whether the said
activity amounts to supply under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017.

Further, a Janakpuri resident, Aakash, approached Sahab Sales. He sold an air-conditioner to Sahab
Sales for ` 5,000. Aakash had bought the said air-conditioner six months before, for his residence.
Does sale of the air conditioner by Aakash to Sahab Sales amount to supply under section 7 of the
CGST Act, 2017?

Solution:
Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017 stipulates that in order to qualify as supply:
(a) Supply should be of goods and/or services.
(b) Supply should be made for a consideration.
(c) Supply should be made in the course or furtherance of business.

Further, Schedule I of the CGST Act, 2017 illustrates the activities to be treated as supply even if made
without consideration. One such activity is permanent transfer or disposal of business assets where
input tax credit has been availed on such assets, i.e. said activity is to be treated as supply even if
made without consideration.

In view of said provisions, permanent transfer of air conditioners by Sahab Sales from its stock for personal
use at its residence, though without consideration, would amount to supply.

However, sale of air-conditioner by Aakash to Sahab Sales will not qualify as supply under section 7 of the
CGST Act, 2017 as although it is made for a consideration, but it’s not in the course or furtherance of
business.

8. IMPORTANT - [REGISTRATION] - Pure Oils, Delhi has started the supply of machine oils and high
speed diesel in the month of April, 20XX. The following details have been furnished by it for the said
month:-

Sl. No.Particulars `*
(i) Supply of machine oils in Delhi 2,00,000
(ii) Supply of high speed diesel in Delhi 4,00,000
(iii) Supply made through Fortis Lubricants - an agent of Pure Oils in 3,75,000
Delhi
(iv) Supply made by Pure Oils from its branch located in Punjab 1,80,000
*excluding GST
Determine whether Pure Oils is liable for registration. Will your answer change, if Pure Oils
supplies machine oils amounting to ` 2,50,000 from its branch located in Tripura in addition to the
above-mentioned supplies?

Solution:
As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated 07.03.2019, a
supplier is liable to be registered in the State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of goods
and/or services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds the threshold limit.
The threshold limit for a person making exclusive intra - State taxable supplies of goods is as under:-
(a) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ` 20 lakh for the States of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telangana
and Uttarakhand.
(c) ` 40 lakh for rest of India.
However, the higher threshold limit of ` 40 lakh is not available to persons engaged in making supplies of ice
cream and other edible ice, whether or not containing cocoa, Pan masala and Tobacco and manufactured
tobacco substitutes.

As per section 2(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, aggregate turnover includes the aggregate value of:
(i) all taxable supplies,
(ii) all exempt supplies,
(iii) exports of goods and/or services and
(iv) all inter-State supplies of persons having the same PAN.

The above is computed on all India basis. Further, the aggregate turnover excludes central tax, State tax,
Union territory tax, integrated tax and cess. Moreover, the value of inward supplies on which tax is payable
under reverse charge is not taken into account for calculation of ‘aggregate turnover’.

Further, the explanation to section 22 provides that the expression “aggregate turnover” shall include all
supplies made by the taxable person, whether on his own account or made on behalf of all his
principals.

Section 9 of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that CGST is not leviable on five petroleum products i.e. petroleum
crude, motor spirit (petrol), high speed diesel, natural gas and aviation turbine fuel.

As per section 2(47) of the CGST Act, 2017, exempt supply includes non-taxable supply. Thus, supply of
high speed diesel in Delhi, being a non-taxable supply, is an exempt supply and is, therefore,
includible while computing the aggregate turnover.

In the backdrop of the above-mentioned discussion, the aggregate turnover for the month of April,
20XX is computed as under:
S. Particulars Amount
No. (in `)
(i) Supply of machine oils in Delhi 2,00,000
(ii) Add: Supply of high speed diesel in Delhi 4,00,000
(iii) Add: Supply made through Fortis Lubricants - an agent of Pure -
Oils in Delhi
(iv) Add: Supply made by Pure Oils from its branch located in Punjab 1,80,000
Aggregate Turnover 7,80,000

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC E.7
Since the aggregate turnover does not exceed ` 40 lakh (Pure Oils is located in Delhi), Pure Oils is not
liable to be registered.

If Pure Oils made supply of machine oils amounting to ` 2,50,000 from its branch in Tripura in addition to the
above supply, then threshold limit of registration will be reduced to ` 10 lakh as Tripura is one of the
specified Special Category States.

Aggregate Turnover in that case would be ` 7,80,000 + ` 2,50,000 = ` 10,30,000. So, if Pure Oils supplies
machine oils amounting to ` 2,50,000 from its branch in Tripura, then it is liable to be registered.

SATC NOTE: Turnover of agent is not required to be added in aggregate turnover of Principle for
determining “Aggregate Turnover”

9. [TAX INVOICE]- Royal Fashions, a registered supplier of designer outfits in Delhi, decides to exhibit
its products in a Fashion Show being organised at Hotel Park Royal, Delhi on 4th January, 20XX. For
the occasion, it gets the makeover of its models done by Aura Beauty Services Ltd., Ashok Vihar, for
which a consideration is ` 5,00,000 (excluding GST) has been charged. Aura Beauty Services Ltd.
issued a duly signed tax invoice on 10th February, 20XX showing the lumpsum amount of ` 5,90,000
inclusive of CGST and SGST @ 9% each. Royal Fashions made the payment the very next day.

Answer the following questions:


(i) Examine whether the tax invoice has been issued within the time limit prescribed under law?
(ii) Tax consultant of Royal Fashions objected to the invoice raised suggesting that the amount of tax
charged in respect of the taxable supply should be shown separately in the invoice raised by Aura
Beauty Services Ltd. However, Aura Beauty Services Ltd. contended that there is no mandatory
requirement of showing tax component separately in the invoice. You are required to examine the
validity of the objection raised by tax consultant of Royal Fashions?

Solution:
(i) As per section 31 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with the CGST Rules, 2017, in case of taxable supply of
services, invoices should be issued before or after the provision of service, but within a period of 30 days
[45 days in case of insurer/ banking company or financial institutions including NBFCs] from the date of
supply of service.

In view of said provisions, in the present case, the tax invoice should have been issued in the prescribed
time limit of 30 days from the date of supply of service i.e. upto 03.02.20XX. However, the invoice has
been issued on 10.02.20XX.

In such a case, the time of supply as per section 13 of the CGST Act, 2017 would be 04.01.20XX i.e.
earliest of the following:

(a) Date of provision of service (04.01.20XX)


(b) Date of receipt of payment (11.02.20XX)

(ii) Section 31 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with the CGST Rules, 2017, inter alia, provides that tax invoice
shall contain the following particulars-
(a) Total value of supply of goods or services or both;
(b) Rate of tax (central tax, State tax, integrated tax, Union territory tax or cess);
(c) Amount of tax charged in respect of taxable goods or services (central tax, State tax, integrated tax,
Union territory tax or cess);
The objection raised by the tax consultant of Royal Fashions suggesting that the amount of tax charged in
respect of the taxable supply should be shown separately in the invoice raised by Aura Beauty Services
Ltd., is valid in law. In the present case, the tax amount has not been shown separately in the invoice.

Notes:-
1. Supply of detergent and bucket together with a single price of ` 400 is a mixed supply. Being a mixed
supply comprising of two supplies, it shall be treated as supply of that particular supply that attracts
highest rate of tax (28%).
2. Supply of online educational journal is exempt only when the same is provided to an educational
institution which provides a qualification recognised by law. Since, the private coaching centre does
not provide any recognised qualification, the supply of online educational journals to the same will be
taxable.
3. ITC can be taken only on the basis of a valid tax paying document. Thus, ITC will not be available on
goods for which the invoice is missing.
4. ITC on motor vehicles for transportation of persons with seating capacity > 13 persons (including the
driver) used for any purpose is allowed. Further, ITC is allowed on repair and maintenance services
relating to motor vehicles, ITC on which is allowed.

Note: Under the amended position of law, the IGST credit, after being set off against IGST liability, can be
utilised against CGST and SGST liability in any order and in any proportion. Thus, there cannot be one
answer for the minimum net CGST and SGST payable in cash [i.e. GST liability] as the amount of CGST
and SGST liabilities are the same as also the amount of ITC for CGST and SGST is also the same.

Answer:
Computation of aggregate turnover of Mr. Zafar for FY 2019-20 for the purpose of eligibility of
composition levy scheme under Section 10(1)

Particulars Amount
in lakh (`)
Value of taxable outward supplies 50
[Value of all taxable supplies including inter-State supplies are includible in aggregate
turnover]
Value of exempt supplies 40
[Value of exempt supplies is includible in aggregate turnover. However, value of supply
of exempt services by way of extending deposits, loans or advances in so far as the
consideration is represented by way of interest or discount, though exempt, is not
includible in aggregate turnover for determining eligibility for composition
scheme]
Value of inward supplies on which Mr. Zafar is liable to pay tax under reverse charge Nil
[Excludible from aggregate turnover]
Value of exports 5
[Includible in aggregate turnover]

Aggregate turnover for determining eligibility for composition scheme 95

A registered person of Assam is eligible to opt for composition levy if his aggregate turnover does not
exceed ` 1.5 crore in the preceding financial year provided he is not engaged in inter-State outward
supplies of goods.

Therefore, in the given case, assuming that he is not engaged in making any inter-State outward supply of
goods in FY 2020-21, Mr. Zafar is eligible to opt for composition levy for FY 2020-21 since his aggregate
turnover does not exceed ` 1.5 crore in FY 2019-20.

3. Know & Grow Publishers, a registered dealer in India, paid an advance of ` 50,000 to Mr. Ganatra, an
author (an unregistered person), for the copyright covered under Section 13(1)(a) of the Copyright
Act, 1957, of his original literary work on 5-9-2020. It made the balance payment of ` 1,50,000 on 12-
12-2020.

You are required to determine the time of supply, if Mr. Ganatra raised the invoice on:
a. 6-10-2020, or
b. 17-12-2020

Answer:
GST on supply of services by an author by way of transfer or permitting the use or enjoyment of a
copyright covered under section 13(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957 relating to original literary works to a
publisher is payable under reverse charge by such publisher, i.e. Know & Grow Publishers.

The time of supply of service, on which GST is payable under reverse charge, is earlier of the
following:

(a) Date of payment as entered in the books of account of the recipient or date on which payment is
debited from the bank account, whichever is earlier
or
(b) 61st day from the date of issue of invoice by the supplier

(i) If the invoice is issued on 06.10.2020, time of supply is as under:


 For the payment of ` 50,000: 05.09.2020 [earlier of date of payment and 61st day from date of
issue of invoice]
 For the payment of ` 1,50,000: 06.12.2020 [earlier of date of payment and 61st day from date
of issue of invoice]

(ii) If the invoice is issued on 17.12.2020, time of supply is as under:


 For the payment of ` 50,000: 05.09.2020 [earlier of date of payment and 61st day from date of
issue of invoice]
 For the payment of ` 1,50,000: 12.12.2020 [earlier of date of payment and 61st day from date

4. Explain the registration requirements under GST law in the following independent cases:
(i) Mr. Ahmad of Jammu engaged in the business of supplying tobacco based Pan Masala with
an aggregate turnover of ` 24 lacs.
(ii) Mr. Lepcha of Mizoram is engaged in the supply of papers with an aggregate turnover of ` 13
lacs.
Will your answer be different if Mr. Lepcha is located in Meghalaya?

Answer:
(i) A person is eligible for enhanced threshold limit of ` 40 lakh in the State of Jammu and Kashmir if he is
engaged exclusively in intra-State supply of goods.

However, the enhanced threshold limit is not applicable if the person is engaged, inter alia, in the
supply of pan masala and all goods of chapter 24 i.e. Tobacco and manufactured tobacco
substitutes. In that case, the normal threshold limit of ` 20 lakh will be applicable.

In view of said provisions, in the given case, Mr. Ahmad is liable to register since his aggregate
turnover (` 24 lakh) exceeds the applicable threshold limit for registration of ` 20 lakh.

(ii) The enhanced threshold limit of ` 40 lakh as applicable to a person engaged exclusively in intra-
State supply of goods, is not applicable to Mizoram [a specified Special Category State]. Instead,
a lower threshold limit of ` 10 lakh for registration is applicable for Mizoram.

Thus, in the given case, Mr. Lepcha of Mizoram is liable to register since his aggregate turnover (`
13 lakh) exceeds the applicable threshold limit for registration of ` 10 lakh.

The enhanced threshold limit of ` 40 lakh is also specifically not applicable in the State of
Meghalaya. Instead, the normal threshold limit of ` 20 lakh for registration is applicable to it.

Therefore, if Mr. Lepcha is located in Meghalaya, he is not liable to register since his aggregate
turnover (` 13 lakh) does not exceed the applicable threshold limit for registration of ` 20 lakh.

5. Mr. Shah, a consignor is required to move goods from Ahmedabad (Gujarat) to Nadiad (Gujarat). He
appoints Mehta Transporter for movement of goods. Mehta Transporter moves the goods from
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) to Kheda (Gujarat). For completing the movement of goods from Kheda
(Gujarat) to Nadiad (Gujarat), Mehta Transporter now hands over the goods to Parikh Transporter.
Explain the procedure regarding e-way bill to be followed by consignor and transporter as per
provisions of GST law and rules made thereunder.

Answer:
In the given scenario, only one e-way bill is required to be issued.
Part A can be filled by either Mr. Shah or recipient of goods or Mehta Transporter on the appropriate
authorisation.
Where the goods are transferred from one conveyance to another, the consignor or the recipient, who has
provided information in Part A, or the transporter shall, before such transfer and further movement of
goods, update the details of conveyance in the e-way bill on the common portal in Part B.

Thus, on reaching Kheda, Mr. Shah or the recipient of the goods, who has filled Part A of the e-way bill, or
Mehta Transporter can, before the transfer and further movement of goods, update the details of
conveyance in Part B of the e-way bill.

Further, the consignor or the recipient, who has furnished the information in Part A, or the transporter, may
assign the e-way bill number to another registered or enrolled transporter for updating the information in
Part B for further movement of the consignment.

Thus, on reaching Kheda, Mr. Shah or the recipient of the goods, or Mehta Transporter can assign the said
e-way bill to Parikh Transporter who will thereafter update the details of conveyance in Part B.

However, upon updation of the details of the conveyance by Parikh transporter in Part B, Mr. Shah or
recipient, as the case may be, who has furnished the information in Part A shall not be allowed to assign
the e-way bill number to another transporter.

making such rectification.

Answer:

8. RETURN - Explain the consequences, if the taxable person under GST law files the GST return

Answer:
If the taxable person under GST law files the GST return under section 39(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, but
does not pay the self-assessment tax, the return is not considered as a valid return.

Since the input tax credit can be availed only on the basis of a valid return, the taxable person, in the
given case, will not be able to claim any input tax credit.

He shall pay interest, penalty, fees or any other amount payable under the CGST Act for filing return
without payment of tax.

9. PAYMENT OF TAX - State the items which are to be debited· to electronic liability register of the
taxable person under the CGST Act, 2017 and rules thereunder.

Answer:
The items to be debited to electronic liability register of the taxable person are as under:-
(a) all amounts payable towards tax, interest, late fee and any other amount as per return filed;
(b) all amounts payable towards tax, interest, penalty and any other amount determined in a proceeding
by an Assessing authority or as ascertained by the taxable person;
(c) the amount of tax and interest as a result of mismatch.
(d) any interest amount that may accrue from time to time.

Notes:-
1. Services provided by an educational institution to its students are exempt. Further, educational
institution means inter alia an institution providing services by way of education as a part of a
curriculum for obtaining a qualification recognised by an Indian law.
Therefore, tuition fee received by Punjab University, being an educational institution, is exempt, since it
provides qualification recognised by Indian law.
2. Tuition fee received by Stan University is taxable since Stan University is not an educational institution
as qualification provided by it is not recognised by Indian law.
3. Fee received from students of competitive exam training academy is taxable as Department of AIM is
not an educational institution since competitive exam training does not lead to grant of a recognized
qualification.
4. Catering services provided by educational institutions to its students are exempt. It has been assumed
that the mess fees has been charged from the students pursuing the qualification recognised by law.
5. Since all the services provided are intra-State, CGST and SGST @ 9% is charged
6. GST is payable under reverse charge in case of renting of immovable property services supplied by a
local authority to a registered person.
7. GST is payable under reverse charge in case of legal services supplied by a firm of advocates to a
business entity
8. The amount available in the electronic credit ledger may be used for making payment towards output
tax. However, tax payable under reverse charge is not an output tax. Therefore, tax payable under
reverse charge cannot be set off against the input tax credit and thus, will have to be paid in cash.

Notes:-
1. When inputs are received in instalments, ITC can be availed only on the receipt of last instalment.
Hence, since last instalment is received in April 2021, ITC cannot be availed in March 2021.

2. Goods delivered to another person on the direction of the registered person by way of transfer of
documents of title or otherwise, either before or during the movement, are deemed to have been
received by such registered person. Thus, ITC is available to the registered person, on whose
order/direction the goods are delivered to a third person.

3. ITC on motor vehicles for transportation of persons with seating capacity > 13 persons (including the
driver) used for any purpose is allowed.

4. ITC on motor vehicles for transportation of persons with seating capacity ≤ 13 persons (including the
driver) is blocked except when the same are used for (i) making further taxable supply of such motor
vehicles (ii) making taxable supply of transportation of passengers (iii) making taxable supply of
imparting training on driving such motor vehicles. Further, ITC is not allowed on services of general
insurance relating to such ineligible motor vehicles.

Since, the car is not used for any of the eligible purposes, ITC thereon is blocked and thus, ITC on
general insurance taken on such car is also blocked.

5. ITC on outdoor catering is blocked except (i) in the case of sub-contracting, i.e. when such service is
used by the taxpayer who is in the same line of business (ii) when such service is provided by the
employer to its employees under a statutory obligation.

Since the company is not an outdoor caterer and it is providing such services to its employees as a
voluntary staff welfare measure, ITC on such outdoor catering services is blocked.

12. CHARGE OF GST - M/s Pranav Associates, a Partnership firm, provided recovery agent service to
Newtron Credits Ltd., a NBFC and a registered supplier, on 15th January, 2021. Invoice for the same
was issued on 7th February, 2020 and the payment was made on 18th April, 2021 by Newtron Credits
Ltd. Bank account of company was debited on 20 th April, 2021. Determine the following:
(i) Person liable to pay GST
(ii) Time of supply of service.

Answer:
(i) Tax on services supplied by a recovery agent to, inter alia, a non- banking financial company is payable
under reverse charge by such non-banking financial company.
Therefore, in the given case, person liable to pay GST is the NBFC - Newton Credits Ltd.

(ii) The time of supply of service on which GST is payable on reverse charge basis is earlier of the
following:-
(a) Date of payment as entered in the books of account of the recipient (18th April, 2021) or the date on
which the payment is debited in his bank account (20th April, 2021), whichever is earlier;

(b) Date immediately following 60 days since issue of invoice by the supplier,
i.e. 9th April, 2021.
Thus, time of supply of service is 9th April, 2021.

13. TAX INVOICE - Kartik & Co., a registered supplier under GST, provides the following information
regarding various tax invoices issued by it during the month of March, 2021:
(i) Value of supply charged in an invoice was ` 2,50,000 against the actual taxable value of `
2,30,000.
(ii) Tax charged in an invoice was ` 32,000 against the actual tax liability of ` 68,000 due to wrong
HSN code being chosen while issuing invoice.
(iii) Value charged in an invoice was ` 3,20,000 as against the actual value of ` 4,20,000 due to
wrong quantity considered while billing.

Kartik & Co. asks you to answer the following:


(1) Who shall issue a Debit/Credit Note under CGST Act, 2017?
(2) Whether Debit Note or Credit Note has to be issued in each of the above circumstances and, if
so, quantify the amount for which it is to be issued.
(3) What is the maximum time-limit available for declaring the credit note in the GST Return?

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC F.9
Answer:
(1) The debit/credit note shall be issued by the registered person who has supplied the goods and/or services,
i.e. Kartik & Co.
(2) Yes debit/credit note need to be issued in each of the circumstances as under:
(i) A credit note is required to be issued as the taxable value in invoice exceeds the actual taxable
value. The credit note should be issued for the excess value of supply charged in the invoice, i.e. `
20,000.
(ii) A debit note is required to be issued as the tax charged in the invoice is less than the actual tax
payable. The debit note should be issued for the amount of tax which is charged less, i.e. ` 36,000.
(iii) A debit note is required to be issued as the value of supply charged in the invoice is less than the
actual value. The debit note should be issued for the amount of value which is charged less, i.e. `
1,00,000.
(3) The details of the credit note cannot be declared later than the return for the month of September
following the end of the financial year in which such supply was made or the date of furnishing of the
relevant annual return, whichever is earlier.

14. REGISTRATION - Examine, with reason, whether registration is required under CGST Act, 2017 in
the following independent cases:
(i) Aadhav Computers of Gujarat is providing Computer Maintenance Service. Aggregate turnover
of Aadhav Computers is ` 15 Lakh which comprises both inter- state and intra-state supply.
(ii) Soft Wings of West Bengal, exclusively trading in garments, supplies its taxable goods to
various States in India. Aggregate turnover of Wild Wings is ` 35 Lakh.
Answer
(i) Registration is compulsory for suppliers engaged in inter-State supply. However, threshold exemption of `
20 lakh [` 10 lakh in case of Specified Special Category States] is available in case of inter-State supply of
taxable services.

Therefore, Aadhav Computers (aggregate turnover ` 15 lakh) is not required to obtain registration as it
is engaged in inter-State supply of taxable services and thus, is eligible for threshold exemption of ` 20
lakh applicable for Gujarat.

(ii) The threshold limit for registration in the State of West Bengal for the persons engaged exclusively in
supply of goods, is ` 40 lakh. However, registration is compulsory if the supplier is engaged inter-State
supply of goods. The threshold exemption of ` 20 lakh/ ` 10 lakh is not available in case of inter-State
supply of taxable goods.

Thus, Soft Wings is required to obtain registration.

Note: In the above question, “Wild” Wings be read as “Soft” Wings.

15. COMPOSITION SCHEME - M/s United Electronics, a registered dealer, is supplying all types of
electronic appliances in the State of Karnataka. Their aggregate turnover in the financial year 2019-
20 by way of supply of appliances was ` 120 Lakh.

The firm also expects to provide repair and maintenance service of such appliances from the financial
year 2020-21.

With reference to the latest amendments made in the CGST Act, 2017, examine:
(i) Whether the firm can opt for the composition scheme for the financial year 2020-21, as the
turnover may include supply of both goods and services?
(ii) If yes, up to what amount, the supply of service can be provided?

Answer
(i) The registered persons, whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did not exceed ` 1.5
crore, may opt to pay tax under composition levy. The scheme can be availed by an intra-State supplier of
goods and supplier of restaurant service.

However, the composition scheme permits supply of marginal services (other than restaurant services)
for a specified value along with the supply of goods and restaurant service, as the case may be.

Thus, M/s United Electronics can opt for composition scheme for the financial year 2020-21 as its
aggregate turnover is less than ` 1.5 crore in the preceding financial year and it is not engaged in inter-
State outward supplies.
SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445
GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC F.10
(ii) The registered person opting for composition scheme can also supply services (other than restaurant
services) for a value up to 10% of the turnover in the preceding year or ` 5 lakh, whichever is higher, in
the current financial year.

which was paid on the same date of filing the return. Briefly explain the related provisions and
compute the amount of interest payable under the CGST Act, 2017 by Mr. Alok.

Answer:
Interest is payable in case of delayed payment of tax @ 18% per annum from the date following the due

Thus, the amount of interest payable by Mr. Alok is as under:- Period of delay = 21st February, 2021 to 15th
April, 2021
= 55 days

Hence, amount of interest = ` 36,500 x 18% x 55/365


= ` 990

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC G.3
Answer
1. Service by an unincorporated body or a registered non-profit entity, to its own members by way of share
of contribution up to an amount of ` 7,500 per month per member for sourcing of goods/services from a
third person for the common use of its members in a housing society or residential complex, is exempt.
In the given case, monthly contribution per month per member received by Gokul Residents’ Welfare
Association exceeds ` 7,500.
Therefore, exemption will not be available and GST would be payable on the full amount of ` 9,000.

2. Services by an artist by way of a performance in folk or classical art forms of music, dance, or theatre, if
the consideration charged for such performance is not more than ` 1,50,000 are exempt from GST.
In the given case, since the consideration received by the performing artist- Mr. Vikalp for performance of
classical dance is more than ` 1,50,000, said services are not exempt.
Further, consideration received for acting in TV serial is also not exempt since said performance is not in
folk/classical art forms of theatre.

4. Examine the following independent cases of supply of goods and services and determine the time of
issue of invoice under each of the cases as per the provisions of CGST Act, 2017:
(i) Sakthi Enterprises, Kolkata entered into a contract with Suraj Enterprises, Surat for supply of
goods on 30th September, 20XX. The goods were removed from the factory at Kolkata on 11th
October, 20XX. As per the agreement, the goods were to be delivered by 31st October, 20XX. Suraj
Enterprises has received the goods on 14th October, 20XX.
(ii) Trust and Fun Ltd, an event management company, has provided its services for an event at
Kapoor Film Agencies, Mumbai on 5th June, 20XX. Payment for the event was made on 19th June,
20XX.

Answer:
(i) A registered person supplying taxable goods shall issue a tax invoice, before or at the time of removal of
goods for supply to the recipient, where the supply involves movement of goods.

Therefore, in the given case, invoice has to be issued on or before, 11th October 2018 (the time of
removal of goods).
(ii) A registered person [other than an insurer/banking company/financial institution, including an NBFC]
supplying taxable services shall issue a tax invoice before or after the provision of service, but within a
period of 30 days from the date of supply of service.

Thus, in the given case, invoice has to be issued within 30 days of 5th June 20XX (date of supply of
service), i.e. on or before, 5th July 20XX.

5. M/s. Daksha Enterprises has made a cash deposit of ` 10,000 under minor head 'tax' of major head
'SGST’. It has a liability of ` 2,000 for minor head "Interest" under the major head "SGST".
State whether M/s. Daksha Enterprises can utilise the amount available for payment of interest.

Answer
The cash available in any minor head of a major head cannot be utilised for any other minor head of the same
major head.

cannot be utilised for payment of liability of ` 2,000 under minor head ‘interest’ of the same major head.

6. State with brief reason, whether following suppliers of taxable goods are required to register under

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC G.4
Answer
(i) Person making any inter-State taxable supply of goods is required to obtain registration compulsorily

though his aggregate turnover does not exceed the threshold limit.
(ii) Persons who make taxable supply of goods on behalf of other taxable persons whether as an agent or
otherwise are required to obtain registration compulsorily under GST laws irrespective of the quantum of
aggregate turnover.

Aggregate turnover includes all supplies made by the taxable person, whether on his own account or

compulsorily under GST laws.

13. Examine the liability of compulsory registration under Section 24 of the CGST Act, 2017, in each
independent cases mentioned below:
(a) Meenu, a supplier in Maharashtra, (PDF NOTES – 8527230445) is engaged in supply of potatoes
within Maharashtra and also outside Maharashtra, whose turnover exceeds threshold limit under
GST Law.
(b) Jinu Oils, Gujarat, is engaged in supplying machine oil as well as petrol. Total turnover of machine
oil is `35 lakh and of petrol is ` 15 lakh.
(c) Tilu is working as an agent, he is supplying goods as an agent of Tiku (who is registered taxable
person) and its aggregate turnover does not exceed ` 20 lakh during the financial year.

Answer
(a) Section 24 of the CGST Act provides that persons making any inter-State taxable supply of goods are
required to obtain registration compulsorily under GST laws irrespective of the quantum of aggregate
turnover.

However, an agriculturist, to the extent of supply of produce out of cultivation of land, is not liable to
registration.

Assuming that Meenu is engaged in cultivation and supply of potatoes, she is not liable to registration of
the fact that she is engaged in making inter-State supply and her turnover exceeds the threshold limit.

Note: Any person engaged exclusively in the business of supplying exempted goods is not liable to
registration. Since potatoes are exempted goods, Meenu is not liable to obtain registration irrespective of
the fact that she is engaged in making inter-State supply and her turnover exceeds the threshold limit.

(b) Section 24 of the CGST Act specifies the categories of persons who are required to be mandatorily
registered under GST irrespective of the quantum of their aggregate turnover.

In the given case, Jinu Oils does not fall in any of the specified categories. Therefore, it is not required to
obtain registration compulsorily under GST.

However, as per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated
07.03.2019, if the aggregate turnover of the person making exclusive intra - State taxable supplies of
goods in state Gujarat exceeds ` 40 lakhs in a financial year, is liable for registration.

Aggregate turnover includes exempted turnover of goods or services;

Accordingly, Jinu Oils is liable obtain registration on the basis of the turnover since its aggregate turnover
[` 50 lakh - including turnover of exempt supply of petrol] exceeds the threshold limit of ` 40 lakhs.
(c) Section 24 of the CGST Act provides that persons who make taxable supply of goods and/or services on
behalf of other taxable persons whether as an agent or otherwise are required to obtain registration
compulsorily under GST laws irrespective of the quantum of aggregate turnover.

Therefore, Tilu will be mandatorily required to obtain registration.

14. Jolla provides continuous supply of services regarding Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) of Air

circumstances:
1. As mentioned in contract Khotu Ltd. have to make payment on 05-11-2020.
2. If terms of payment is not mentioned in AMC and also not agreed by both the parties.

issued on or before 05.11.2020.
(b) If terms of payment are not mentioned in AMC and are also not agreed by both the parties, the invoice
shall be issued on or before 31.10.2020.

Note: The question has been answered by considering the annual maintenance contract as continuous
supply of service. However, as per section 2(33) of the CGST Act, 2017 “continuous supply of services” inter
alia means a supply of services with periodic payment obligations.

15. Examine in relation to composition levy scheme u/s 10(1) under the CGST Act, 2017 and the rules
made there under in the following individual cases :
1. Ketu is a manufacturer of ice-cream and pan masala in State of Maharashtra. His turnover for the
year does not exceed ` 1.5 Crore. He wants to register for composition levy scheme. ls he eligible
for it ?
2. Jadhu of Gujarat opts for composition scheme during a financial year 2020-21. But on 10-02-2021
his turnover crosses ` 1.5 Crore, can he continue under composition levy scheme.
3. X Ltd. has 2 branches K & L in Delhi, having same PAN. Branch K opts for normal scheme. X Ltd.
want to continue composition levy in case of its branch L. Can X Ltd. continue composition levy
only for branch L?

Answer
1. A registered person who is engaged in manufacture of, inter alia, ice cream and pan masala, is not
eligible to opt for composition levy u/s 10(1) even if his aggregate turnover does not exceed ` 1.5 crore.

Therefore, in the given case, Ketu is not eligible to opt for composition levy.
2. The option to pay tax under composition levy availed of by a registered person lapses with effect from the
day on which his aggregate turnover during a financial year exceeds the threshold limit of ` 1.5 crore. He
needs to pay tax under normal scheme from that day.

Since in the given case, the turnover of Jadhu crosses ` 1.5 crore on 10.02.2021, he cannot continue
under composition scheme from that day.
3. Where person having the same Permanent Account Number, has more than one registration, the
registered person shall not be eligible to opt for composition scheme unless all such registered persons
opt to pay tax under composition scheme. In other words, all the registrations under the same PAN have
to opt for composition scheme.

In view of the same, in the given case, X Ltd. cannot continue with composition scheme only for branch L.

16. Please answer following individual independent cases with reference to section 37 of the CGST Act,
2017 and rule 59 of CGST Rules, 2017:
1. Mr. Kolly is registered supplier in the State of Gujarat. He is filing GSTR 1 every month. During the
month of February, 20XX he was out of India and so did not do any transaction during the month.
He believes that as there is no transaction there is no need to file GSTR 1 for the month of
February, 20XX. Is he correct?
2. Mr. Kaji is a registered dealer in Kerala. He was registered as a normal taxpayer for FY 2020-21.
But on 15-01-2021, he converted from normal tax payer to composition tax payer. Is he liable to file
GSTR-1 for the month of February, 2021?

Answer
1. No, Mr. Kolly is not correct.
GSTR-1 needs to be filed even if there is no business activity (Nil Return) in the tax period. Therefore, in
the given case, even though Mr. Kolly was out of India and thus had not done any transaction during
February 20XX, he is still required to file GSTR- 1 for the said month.

2. A person paying tax under composition scheme is not liable to furnish the details of outward supplies in
GSTR-1.

Further, in cases where a taxpayer has been converted from a normal taxpayer to composition taxpayer,
GSTR-1 is to be filed only for the period during which the taxpayer was registered as normal taxpayer.

Therefore, in the given case, Mr. Kaji is not liable to file GSTR-1 for February, 2021 since he had already
shifted to composition scheme on 15.01.2021.

Note:
Question specifies that Mr. Kaji has converted from normal taxpayer to composition tax payer on
15.01.2021. However, as per rule 4(1) of the CGST Rules, 2017, the option to pay tax under composition
scheme shall be effective from the beginning of the financial year, where the intimation is filed by any
registered person who opts to pay tax under section 10.

18. Explain the services provided by way of tolerating non-performance of a contract and its chargeability
under the provisions of the CGST Act, 2017.

Answer
Non-performance of a contract is the failure to fulfill the obligations under a contract. It is generally one of the
conditions stipulated in any contract for supply of goods/services.

The agreement entered into between the parties stipulates that both the service provider and service recipient
abide by the terms and conditions of the contract. In case any of the parties breach the contract for any
reason including non-performance of the contract, then such person is liable to pay damages in the form of
fines or penalty to the other party.

Tolerating non-performance of a contract in lieu of damages or fines is a supply in terms of section 7 of the
CGST Act, 2017 as it is made for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business.

Further, tolerating non-performance of a contract is treated as a supply of service in terms of section 7 read
with Schedule II of CGST Act, 2017.

However, in case of supplies to Government, non-performance of contract by the supplier of service for which
consideration in the form of fines or liquidated damages is payable is exempt from GST.

19. What are the E-ledgers? State the entries to be debited to electronic liability register under the CGST
Act, 2017 and the CGST Rules, 2017.

Answer
Electronic Ledgers or E-Ledgers, i.e., Electronic Cash Ledger and Electronic Credit Ledger, are statements
of cash and input tax credit in respect of each registered taxpayer. In addition, each taxpayer shall also have
an electronic tax liability register.

The entries to be debited to electronic liability register under the CGST Act, 2017 and the CGST Rules, 2017
are as follows: -
(i) all amounts payable towards tax, interest, late fee and any other amount as per return filed;
(ii) all amounts payable towards tax, interest, penalty and any other amount determined in a proceeding by
an Assessing authority or as ascertained by the taxable person;
(iii) the amount of tax and interest payable due to mismatch;
(iv) any amount of interest that may accrue from time to time.

Solution:
Computation of value of taxable supply and gross GST liability of
Ms. Achintya for the month of Jan 20XX
Particulars `
List price of the goods 3,30,000
Add: Swachh Bharat Cess (SBC) levied on sale of goods [Note-1] 12,500
Add: Packing expenses [Note-2] 10,800
Less: Subsidy received from State Government [Note-3] (5,000)

Value of taxable supply 3,45,000
CGST @ 9% 31,050
SGST @ 9% 31,050
Gross GST liability 62,100

Notes:-
As per section 15 of CGST Act, 2017,
1. Any taxes, duties and cesses levied under any law other than CGST , SGST is includible in the value.
2. Packing expenses being incidental expenses, are includible in the value.
3. Since subsidy is received from State Government, the same is not includible in the value. It has been
assumed that such subsidies are directly linked to the price of the goods. Further, since the same has not
been adjusted in the list price, the same is to be excluded from the list price.
4. Since discount is known at the time of supply, it is deductible from the value.

Note: In the above answer, the term “exclusive” mentioned in the question has been taken to be as “not
adjusted in the list price”, i.e. the list price given in the question is before adjusting the amount of discount and
subsidy. However, it is also possible to take a view that the list price “excludes” amount of discount
and subsidy. Therefore, the same need not be deducted again from the list price to arrive at the
taxable value.

4. Explain the meaning of supply as per provisions of Section 7(1) of CGST Act, 2017.

Solution:
As per section 7(1) of CGST Act, 2017, the term supply includes –

a) all forms of supply of goods or services or both such as sale, transfer, barter,
b) exchange, license, rental, lease or disposal made or agreed to be made for a consideration by a person,
in the course or furtherance of business;
c) import of services for a consideration whether or not in the course or furtherance of business;
d) the activities specified in Schedule I, made or agreed to be made without a consideration; and
e) the activities to be treated as supply of goods or supply of services as referred to in Schedule II.

5. Decide with reason whether the following independent services are exempt under CGST Act, 2017 :

(i) M/s Fast Trans, a goods transport agency, transported relief materials meant for victims of Kerala
floods being a natural disaster, by road from Delhi to Ernakulam, for a Limited Co.

(ii) Keyan Enterprises, an event organizer, provided services to Breathing Wall Ltd. By way of
organizing business exhibition at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi as part of Make in India initiative.

Solution:
Services provided by a goods transport agency, by way of transport in a goods carriage of, inter alia, relief
materials meant for victims of inter alia natural or man-made disasters are exempt from GST. Therefore,
services provided by M/s Fast Trans will be exempt from GST.

Services provided by an organiser to any person in respect of a business exhibition held outside India is
exempt from GST. Since in the given case, the exhibition is organized in India, the services of organization of
event by Keyan Enterprises will not be exempt from GST.

i. There is a dairy farm selling milk and milk products in Delhi. The turnover of his dairy farm is as
below
Milk (Exempted) : ` 39,90,000
Butter (Taxable) : ` 50,000
What is the registration liability under GST for the above mentioned person assuming he has
same PAN?
ii. Amit, a taxable person, is operating in Tamilnadu, Punjab and West Bengal, with the same PAN.
Can he operate with a single registration in West Bengal?

Solution:
(i) As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated 07.03.2019, a
supplier is liable to be registered in the State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of
goods and/or services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds the threshold limit.

The threshold limit for a person making exclusive intra - State taxable supplies of goods is as
under:-
(a) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ` 20 lakh for the States of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim,
Telangana and Uttarakhand.
(c) ` 40 lakh for rest of India.
However, the higher threshold limit of ` 40 lakh is not available to persons engaged in making supplies of
ice cream and other edible ice, whether or not containing cocoa, Pan masala and Tobacco and
manufactured tobacco substitutes.

Further, aggregate turnover, inter alia, means the aggregate value of all taxable supplies as well as
exempt supplies.

Here Supplier is exclusively in supply of goods & located in Delhi. Hence, threshold limit of ` 40,00,000 is
applicable.

Aggregate Turnover is
= ` 39,90,000 + ` 50,000
= ` 40,40,000

Since aggregate turnover of the dairy farm in Delhi exceeds ` 40 lakh, it is liable to get registered.

(ii) No, Amit Cannot operate with a single registration in West Bengal if he is making taxable supplies from
Tamilnadu and Punjab also. Every person who is liable to take a registration will have to get registered
separately for each of the States where he has a business operation and is liable to pay GST.

However, if he is not making taxable supplies from Tamilnadu and Punjab, he can operate with a
single registration in West Bengal.

21. Differentiate between direct and indirect taxes (Give any two points)

Solution:
1. In case of direct taxes, the person paying the tax to the Government directly bears the incidence of the
tax whereas in case of indirect taxes, the person paying the tax to the Government collects the same
from the ultimate consumer, i.e. incidence of tax is shifted to the other person.

2. Direct taxes are progressive in nature - high rate of taxes for people having higher ability to pay.
However, indirect taxes are regressive in nature - All the consumers equally bear the burden, irrespective
of their ability to pay.

22. Can a person get himself voluntarily registered though he may not be liable to pay GST?

Solution:
Yes. a person, though not liable to be registered under sections 22 or 24 of CGST Act, 2017 may get himself
registered voluntarily. Once a person obtains voluntary registration, he has to pay tax even though his
aggregate turnover does not exceed threshold limits.

23. What kinds of invoice details of outward supplies are required to be furnished in GSTR-1 for outward
supplies?

Solution:
The invoice details of outward supplies required to be furnished in GSTR-1 are - name of Buyer, GSTN of
buyer, invoice no., date, value, taxable value, rate of tax, amount of tax, HSN code in respect of supply of
goods, accounting code in respect of supply of services and place of supply.

Further, following invoice details of outward supplies are required to be furnished invoice-wise in GSTR-1 –
(i) intra-State supplies made to the registered persons
(ii) inter-State supplies made to the registered persons;
(iii) inter-State supplies made to unregistered persons with invoice value exceeding ` 2,50,000

Note: The question may be answered either on the basis of invoice details of outward supplies required to be
furnished in GSTR-1 or on the basis of invoice details of outward supplies required to be furnished invoice-
wise in GSTR-1.

24. Discuss the provisions relating to issuance of credit notes and debit notes under CGST Act and rules
there under.

Solution:
Credit note is required to be issued:-

(i) if taxable value charged in the tax invoice is found to exceed the taxable value in respect of supply of
goods and/or services, or

(ii) if tax charged in the tax invoice is found to exceed the tax payable in respect of supply of goods and/or
services, or

(iii) if goods supplied are returned by the recipient, or

(iv) if goods and/or services supplied are found to be deficient.

(ii) if tax charged in the tax invoice is found to be less than the tax payable in respect of supply of goods
and/or services

25. State whether the following supplies would be treated as supply of goods or supply of services as per
Schedule II of CGST Act:
i. Renting of immovable property
ii. Transfer of right in goods without transfer of title in goods.
iii. Works contract services
iv. Temporary transfer of permitting use or enjoyment of any intellectual property right
v. Sale of personal car to dealer.

Solution:
(i) Renting of immovable property would be treated as supply of services in terms of Schedule-II of CGST
Act, 2017.

(ii) As per Schedule-II of CGST Act, 2017, transfer of right in goods without transfer of title in goods would be
treated as supply of services.

(iv) As per Schedule-II of CGST Act, 2017, temporary transfer of permitting use or enjoyment of any
intellectual property right would be treated as supply of services.

(v) As per Schedule-II of CGST Act, 2017, sale of personal car to dealer would be treated as supply of goods
as any transfer of the title in goods is a supply of goods.

However, it is also possible to take view that sale of personal car to dealer is not a supply per se
as supply is not made by the individual in the course or furtherance of business.

Note: The question may be answered on the basis of either of the two views.

Note:
1. ITC of IGST has been used to pay IGST first.
2. Balance IGST credit can be used to pay CGST or SGST in any order. Here it is beneficial to utilize
IGST credit against CGST liability as there is enough SGST Credit for payment of SGST Liability.
3. Further, ITC of SGST cannot be utilised towards payment of CGST.

provisions of section 42(10) of the CGST Act, 2017 in the month of December 2020, which is ineligible
credit. A show cause notice was issued by the Tax Department to pay tax along with interest. M/s
Software Limited paid the tax and interest on 31st March, 2021. Calculate interest liability (Ignore
penalty).

Solution:
A taxable person who makes an undue or excess claim of input tax credit shall pay interest @ 24% p.a. on
such undue or excess claim. The period of interest will be from the date following the due date of payment to
the actual date of payment of tax.
Due date of payment is 20th January, 2021.
Period for which interest is due = 21st January, 2021 to 31st March, 2021 =71 days

11. State with reason whether following statement is true or false:

"When the change in constitution of business results in change in PAN, the business entity can apply
for amendment of registration in prescribed manner within 15 days."

Solution:
The said statement is FALSE.
When a change in constitution of a business results in change of PAN of the registered person, the said
person shall apply for fresh registration. The reason for the same is that GSTIN is PAN based. Any
change in PAN would warrant a new registration.

12. Mrs. Pragati received legal advice for her personal problems & paid ` 1,000 pound as a legal fees to
Miss Unnati of U.K. (London).

Explain whether the above activity of import of service would amount to supply u/s 7 of the CGST
Act, 2017?

If in above case both of them are real sisters & no consideration is paid then will it change your
answer?

Further in the above case if both of them are real sisters & Mrs. Pragati receives legal advice for her
business & she doesn't pay any consideration then what will be your answer?

Solution:
Supply, under section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia,

 includes import of services for a consideration


 even if it is not in the course or furtherance of business.

Thus, although the import of service for consideration by Mrs. Pragati is not in course or furtherance of
business, it would amount to supply.

Further, import of services by a person from a related person located outside India, without consideration is
treated as supply if it is provided in the course or furtherance of business.

In the given case, import of service without consideration by Mrs. Pragati from her real sister - Miss Unnati
[real sister, being member of the same family, is a related person] will not be treated as supply as it is not
in course or furtherance of business.

However, import of service without consideration by Mrs. Pragati from her sister - Miss Unnati (related person)
will be treated as supply if she receives legal advice for her business, i.e. in course or furtherance of
business.

17. Explain the meaning of the term "recipient of supply of goods and/or services" under the CGST Act,
2017.

Solution:
Recipient of supply of goods or services or both, means —

(a) where a consideration is payable for the supply of goods or services or both, the person who is liable to
pay that consideration;

(b) where no consideration is payable for the supply of goods, the person to whom the goods are delivered or
made available, or to whom possession or use of the goods is given or made available; and

(c) where no consideration is payable for the supply of a service, the person to whom the service is rendered,

and (i) any reference to a person to whom a supply is made shall be construed as a reference to the
recipient of the supply, and (ii) shall include an agent acting as such on behalf of the recipient in
relation to the goods or services or both supplied.

18. [TIME OF SUPPLY] - M/s Mansh & Vansh Trading Company, a registered supplier, is liable to pay GST
under forward charge. Determine the time of supply from the following information furnished by it:

(i) Goods were supplied on 03-1-20XX


(ii) Invoice was issued on 05-1-20XX
(iii) Payment received on 09-1-20XX

Solution:
Section 12 of CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 66/2017 CT dated 15.11.2017 provides that the
time of supply for all suppliers of goods (excluding composition suppliers) is the time of issue of
invoice/Last date on which the invoice is required to be issued, without any turnover limit.

Further, a registered person is required to issue a tax invoice before or at the time of removal of goods for
supply to the recipient.

Thus, in the given case, the invoice for supply of goods should have been issued on or before the
removal of goods i.e., on 03-1-20XX.

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC I.10
However, since the invoice has not been issued within the prescribed time, the time of supply will be the last
date on which the invoice is required to be issued (03-1-20XX) or date of receipt of payment (09-1-20XX),
whichever is earlier.

Thus, the time of supply of the goods will be 03-1-20XX.

19. [EXEMPTION] - Examine whether GST is exempted on the following independent supply of services:

(i) Teja & Co, a tour operator, provides services to a foreign tourist for tour conducted in Jammu &
Kashmir and receives a sum of ` 3,00,000.

(ii) Ms. Poorva acts as a Team Manager for Indian Sports League (ISL), a recognised sports body, for
a Tennis tournament organised by Multi brand retail company and received a remuneration of `
2,00,000.

Solution:
(i) Services provided by a tour operator to a foreign tourist are exempt from GST provided such services are
in relation to a tour conducted wholly outside India. Thus, since in the given case, services provided by
Teja& Co. are in relation to a tour conducted within India, the same are not exempt from GST.

(ii) Services provided by a team manager to a recognised sports body for participation in a sporting event are
exempt from GST provided said sporting event is organised by a recognized sports body.

Thus, since in the given case, the sporting event is not organised by a recognised sports body,
the services provided by Ms. Poorva are not exempt from GST.

20. [Composition Scheme] - M/s Sai Trading Company, an eligible registered dealer in goods making
intra-state supplies within the state of Andhra Pradesh, has reported an aggregate turnover of ` 138
Lakhs in the preceding financial year.

(i) Determine whether Sai Trading Company will be eligible for composition levy u/s 10(1), as on 1-4-
2020.

(ii) Will your answer be different, if in the above scenario, M/s Sai Trading Company is making intra
state supply within the state of Jammu and Kashmir?

Solution:
(i) Section 10(1) of CGST Act, 2017 provides that a registered person, whose aggregate turnover in the
preceding financial year did not exceed ` 1.5 crore may opt for composition scheme. The turnover limit is
` 75 lakh in case of Special Category States. However, for Assam, HP & Jammu and Kashmir, the
turnover limit is ` 1.5 crore only.

In the given case, the applicable turnover limit for composition scheme will be ` 1.5 crore as Andhra
Pradesh is not a Special Category State.

Further, since the aggregate turnover of the registered person in the given case does not exceed ` 1.5
crore and it satisfies other conditions of composition scheme namely, not making inter-State
supplies of goods, it is eligible for composition levy.

(ii) Since the turnover limit for determining the eligibility for composition scheme in the State of Jammu and
Kashmir is also ` 1.5 crore, Sai Trading Company will be eligible for composition levy with other condition
of not making inter-State supplies of goods being fulfilled.
21. [Registration] - Determine the effective date of registration in the following instances:
(i) The aggregate turnover of Madhu Ltd., engaged in taxable supply of services in the state of
Punjab, exceeded ` 20 lakh on 25th August, 20XX. It applies for registration on 19th September,
20XX and is granted registration certificate on 29th September, 20XX.
(ii) What will be your answer, if in the above scenario, Madhu Ltd. submits the application for

lakh in notified Special Category States] is liable to apply for registration within 30 days from the date of
becoming liable to registration (i.e., the date of crossing the threshold limit of ` 20 lakh/` 10 lakh).

Where the application is submitted within the said period, the effective date of registration is the date on which
the person becomes liable to registration; otherwise it is the date of grant of registration.

In the given case, the applicable turnover limit for registration will be ` 20 lakh as Punjab is not a
Special Category State.

(i) Since Madhu Ltd. applied for registration within 30 days of becoming liable to registration, the effective
date of registration is 25th August, 20XX.

(ii) In this case, since Madhu Ltd. applies for registration after the expiry of 30 days from the date of
becoming liable to registration, the effective date of registration is 5th October, 20XX .

22. [Tax Invoice] - Determine with reason whether the following statements are true or false:

(i) A registered person shall issue separate Invoices for taxable and exempted goods when
supplying both taxable as well as exempted goods to an unregistered person.

(ii) A Non-banking financial company can issue a consolidated tax invoice at the end of every month
for the supply made during that month.

Solution:
(i) The given statement is false.
Where a registered person is supplying taxable as well as exempted goods or services or both to an
unregistered person, a single “invoice -cum-bill of supply” may be issued for all such supplies.

(ii) The said statement is true.


By virtue of an amendment, a non-banking financial company has been allowed to issue a consolidated
tax invoice or any other document in lieu thereof for the supply of services made during a month at the
end of the month.

Total (B) 99,000 99,000
Net GST payable (A)-(B) 9,000 9,000
Notes:-
1. Section 16 of CGST Act, 2017 provides that where the goods against an invoice are received in
lots or installments, the registered person shall be entitled to take credit upon receipt of the last lot
or installment. Although 900 tonnes of iron are received in financial year 20XX-XY, the last lot of
iron has been received after FY 20XX-XY only, i.e. on 5, April 20XY, thus no input tax credit is
available in FY 20XX-XY.
In view of above provisions, full input tax credit in respect of transaction (a) will be claimed in
financial year 20XY-20YZ i.e. on receipt of last installment.
2. Section 16 of CGST Act, 2017 inter alia provides that every registered person is entitled to take
credit of input tax charged on supply of services to him which are used in the course of business on
receipt of the said services.
Thus, in view of the above mentioned provisions full input tax credit of ` 1,98,000/- can be claimed
in financial year 20XX-XY.

Section 16 of CGST Act, 2017 provides that where a recipient fails to pay to the supplier of goods or
services or both, other than the supplies on which tax is payable on reverse charge basis, the amount
towards the value of supply along with tax payable thereon within a period of 180 days from the date of
issue of invoice by the supplier, an amount equal to the input tax credit availed by the recipient shall be
added to his output tax liability, along with interest thereon, in the prescribed manner.

However, the recipient shall be entitled to avail of the credit of input tax on payment made by him of the
amount towards the value of supply of goods or services or both along with tax payable thereon.

Since the full amount of value alongwith tax payable thereon has not been paid by M/s Comfortable (P) Ltd.
to M/s Dynamic Infotech (P) Ltd within a period of 180 days from the date of issue of invoice, the
proportionate amount of input tax credit availed needs to be reversed. However, the reversal will be done in
the financial year 20XY-YZ during when the time period of 180 days expire.

Amount charged for service provided by way of right to admission to circus where 12,000
consideration for the same is ` 750 per person. [Note-6]
Notes:
1. Services by way of loading, unloading, packing, storage or warehousing of agricultural produce are
exempt from GST. Further, potato chips are manufactured through processes which alter the
essential characteristic of agricultural produce, thus is not covered under definition of agricultural
produce.
2. Services by an entity registered under section 12AA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 by way of
charitable activities are exempt from GST. The activities relating to advancement of yoga are
included in the definition of charitable activities. So, such activities are exempt from GST.
3. Services by business facilitator or a business correspondent to a banking company with respect to
accounts in its rural area branch have been exempted from GST.
4. Services provided by cord blood banks by way of preservation of stem cells or any other service in
relation to such preservation are exempt from GST.
5. Services provided to a recognized sports body only by an individual as a player, referee, umpire,
coach or team manager for participation in a sporting event organized by a recognized sports body
are exempt from GST. Thus, services provided by commentators are liable to GST.
6. Services provided by way of right to admission to circus where consideration for the same is upto
` 500 per person are exempt from GST. Since in the present case, the consideration is more than
` 500 per person, so the same is liable to GST.

13. Decide which person is liable to pay GST in the following independent cases, where the recipient is
located in the taxable territory. Ignore the Aggregate Turnover and Exemption available.
(i) Miss Shinu Ambani provided sponsorship services to Indian Love Cricket Academy, a Limited
Liability Partnership.
(ii) "Fast move", a Goods Transport Agency, transported goods of Amba & Co., a partnership firm
which is not registered under GST.

Solution:
In case of services provided by any person by way of sponsorship to any body corporate or partnership firm
/ limited liability partnership (LLP), GST is liable to be paid under reverse charge by such body corporate or
partnership firm / LLP located in the taxable territory. Therefore, in the given case, Indian Love Cricket
Academy is liable to pay GST under reverse charge.

In case of services provided by Goods Transport Agency (GTA) in respect of transportation of goods by
road to, inter alia, any partnership firm whether registered or not under any law; GST is liable to be paid by
such partnership firm. Therefore, in the given case, Amba & Co. is liable to pay GST under reverse charge.
14. Mr. Mayank provides Continuous Supply of Services (CSS) to M/s. Omega Limited. He furnishes the
following further information:
(i) Date of commencement of Providing CSS 01-10-20XX
(ii) Date of completion of Providing CSS 31-01-20XY
(iii) Date of receipt of payment by Mr. Mayank 30-03-20XY
Determine the time of issue of invoice as per provisions of CGST Act, 2017, in the following
circumstances:
(i) If no due date for payment is agreed upon by both under the contract of CSS.
(ii) If payment is linked to the completion of service.
(iii) If M/s. Omega Limited has to make payment on 25-03-20XY as per the contract between them.

Solution:
i. Where the due date of payment is not ascertainable from the contract, the invoice shall be issued
before or at the time when the supplier of service receives the payment.

Thus, in the given case, the invoice should be issued on or before 30.03.20XY (date of receipt of
payment by Mr. Mayank).

ii. If payment is linked to the completion of an event, the invoice should be issued on or before the
date of completion of that event.

Since in the given case payment is linked to the completion of service, invoice should be issued on
or before 31.01.20XY (date of completion of service).

iii. Where the due date of payment is ascertainable from the contract, the invoice should be issued on
or before the due date of payment.

If M/s. Omega Limited has to make payment on 25.03.20XY as per the contract between them, the
invoice should be issued on or before 25.03.20XY.

15. Draupad Fabrics has opted for composition levy scheme in the current financial year. It has

16. M/s Salty & Spicy Limited reduced the amount of ` 1,50,000 from the output tax liability in
contravention of provisions of Section 42(10) of the CGST Act, 2017 for the month of April 20XX,
which is ineligible credit. A show cause notice was issued by the Tax Department to pay tax along
with interest. M/s Salty & Spicy Limited paid the tax and interest on 31 st July, 20XX. Calculate Interest
liability (Ignore Penalty).

Solution:
A taxable person who makes an undue or excess claim of input tax credit shall pay interest @ 24%
p.a. on such undue or excess claim in terms of section 50 of CGST Act, 2017. The period of interest
will be from the date following the due date of payment to the actual date of payment of tax.
Due date of payment is 20th May, 20XX.
Period for which interest is due = 21st May, 20XX to 31st July, 20XX =72 days
Thus, interest liability = ` 1,50,000 x 24% x 72/365
=` 7,101 (approx.)

17. Whether transfer of title and/or possession is necessary for a transaction to constitute supply of
goods?

Solution:
Title as well as possession both have to be transferred for a transaction to be considered as a supply of
goods. In case title is not transferred, the transaction would be treated as supply of service in terms of
Schedule II(1)(b) of the CGST Act. In some cases, possession may be transferred immediately but title may
be transferred at a future date like in case of sale on approval basis or hire purchase arrangement. Such
transactions will also be termed as supply of goods.

18. If a return has been filed, how can it be revised if some changes are required to be made?

Solution:
In GST since the returns are built from details of individual transactions, there is no requirement for having
a revised return. Any need to revise a return may arise due to the need to change a set of invoices or debit/
credit notes. Instead of revising the return already submitted, the system allows changing the details of
those transactions (invoices or debit/credit notes) that are required to be amended. They can be amended
in any of the future GSTR- 1 in the tables specifically provided for the purposes of amending previously
declared details.

As per Section 39(9), omission or incorrect particulars discovered in the returns filed u/s 39 can be rectified
in the return to be filed for the month/quarter during which such omission or incorrect particulars are
noticed. Any tax payable as a result of such error or omission will be required to be paid along with interest.
The rectification of errors/omissions is carried out by entering appropriate particulars in "Amendment
Tables" contained in GSTR-1.

14. The aggregate turnover of Priyank Services Ltd. exceeded ` 20 lakh on 12th August. He applied for
registration on 3rd September and was granted the registration certificate on 6th September. You are
required to advice Priyank Services Ltd. as to what is the effective date of registration in its case. It
has also sought your advice regarding period for issuance of Revised Tax Invoices.

Solution:
As per section 25 read with CGST Rules, 2017, where an applicant submits application for registration within
30 days from the date he becomes liable to registration, effective date of registration is the date on which he
becomes liable to registration. Since, Priyank Services Ltd.’s turnover exceeded ` 20 lakh on 12th August, it
became liable to registration on same day.

Further, it applied for registration within 30 days of so becoming liable to registration, the effective date of
registration is the date on which he becomes liable to registration, i.e. 12th August.

As per section 31 read with CGST Rules, 2017, every registered person who has been granted registration
with effect from a date earlier than the date of issuance of certificate of registration to him, may issue Revised
Tax Invoices. Revised Tax Invoices shall be issued within 1 month from the date of issuance of certificate of
registration. Revised Tax Invoices shall be issued within 1 month from the date of issuance of registration in
respect of taxable supplies effected during the period starting from the effective date of registration till the
date of issuance of certificate of registration.

Therefore, in the given case, Priyank Services Ltd. has to issue the Revised Tax Invoices in respect of
taxable supplies effected during the period starting from the effective date of registration (12th August) till the
date of issuance of certificate of registration (6th September) within 1 month from the date of issuance of
certificate of registration, i.e. on or before 6th October.

Solution:

Composite supply means a supply made by a taxable person to a recipient and:


 comprises two or more taxable supplies of goods or services or both, or any combination thereof.
 are naturally bundled and supplied in conjunction with each other, in the ordinary course of business
 one of which is a principal supply [Section 2(30) of the CGST Act].

A composite supply comprising of two or more supplies, one of which is a principal supply, shall be treated as
a supply of such principal supply [Section 8 of the CGST Act, 2017].

5. IMP: Kesar Maharaj, a registered supplier, gave a classical dance performance in an auditorium. The
consideration charged for the said performance is ` 1,48,500. Is Kesar Maharaj liable to pay GST on
the consideration received for the said performance if such performance is not for promotion of any
product/services? If yes, determine his GST liability (CGST and SGST or IGST, as the case may be).
Will your answer be different if:

(i) Kesar Maharaj is a brand ambassador of a food product and aforesaid performance is for the
promotion of such food product?

(ii) the dance performance given by Kesar Maharaj is not a classical dance performance, but a
contemporary Bollywood style dance performance?

(iii) consideration charged by Kesar Maharaj for the classical dance performance is ` 1,60,000?

Notes:
1. Services provided by Kesar Maharaj are intra-State supplies.
2. Wherever applicable, GST has been charged separately.
3. Rates of CGST, SGST and IGST are 9%, 9% and 18% respectively.

Solution:
Notification No. 12/2017 CT (R) dated 28.06.2017 exempts services by an artist by way of a performance in
folk or classical art forms of (i) music, or (ii) dance, or (iii) theatre, if the consideration charged for such
performance is not more than ` 1,50,000. However, exemption will not apply to service provided by such
artist as a brand ambassador.

In view of the aforesaid provisions, services provided by Kesar Maharaj are exempt from GST as
consideration for the classical dance performance has not exceeded ` 1,50,000. Therefore, his GST liability
is nil.

(i) If Kesar Maharaj is a brand ambassador of a food product and aforesaid performance is for the
promotion of such food product, he will be liable to pay GST as aforesaid exemption is not applicable
to service provided by an artist as a brand ambassador. His CGST and SGST liability would, therefore,
be ` 13,365 (` 1,48,500 × 9%) and ` 13,365 (` 1,48,500 × 9%) respectively.

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC L.4
(ii) If Kesar Maharaj gives a contemporary Bollywood style dance performance, such performance will not
be eligible for aforesaid exemption. The reason for the same is that although the consideration
charged does not exceed ` 1,50,000, said performance is not in folk or classical art forms of
dance. Hence, GST would be payable on the same. His CGST and SGST liability would, therefore, be
` 13,365 (` 1,48,500 × 9%) and ` 13,365 (` 1,48,500 × 9%) respectively.

(iii) If the consideration charged for the classical dance performance by Kesar Maharaj is `
1,60,000, he will be liable to pay GST on the same as although the performance is by way of classical
art form of dance, consideration charged for such performance has exceeded ` 1,50,000. His
CGST and SGST liability would, therefore, be ` 14,400 (` 1,60,000 × 9%) and ` 14,400 (` 1,60,000 ×
9%) respectively. (Notes are compiled by SATC)

6. Mehra Sons, a registered supplier, is a wholesale supplier of ready-made garments located in


Bandra, Mumbai. On 5th September, 20XX, Subhadra, owner of Aura Boutique located in Dadar,
Mumbai, approached Mehra Sons for supply of a consignment of customised dresses for ladies and
kids.

Mehra Sons gets the consignment ready by 2nd December, 20XX and informs Subhadra about the
same. The invoice for the consignment was issued the next day, 3rd December, 20XX.

Due to some reasons, Subhadra could not collect the consignment immediately. So, she collects
the consignment from the premises of Mehra Sons on 18th December, 20XX and hands over the
cheque for payment on the same date. The said payment is entered in the accounts on 20th
December, 20XX and amount is credited in the bank account on 21st December, 20XX.

You are required to determine the time of supply of the readymade garments supplied by Mehra
Sons to Subhadra elaborating the relevant provisions under the GST law.

Solution: [Solution is modified as per amended provision]

Section 12 of CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 66/2017 CT dated 15.11.2017 provides that the
time of supply for all suppliers of goods (excluding composition suppliers) is the time of issue of invoice,
without any turnover limit.

Hence, the time of supply will be 3rd December, 20XX.

Note: Date of payment is now not relevant in case of supply of goods.

7. Explain the term ‘aggregate turnover’.

Solution:
Aggregate turnover includes the aggregate value of:
(i) all taxable supplies,
(ii) all exempt supplies,
(iii) exports of goods and/or services and
(iv) all inter-State supplies of persons having the same PAN.
The above is computed on all India basis. Further, the aggregate turnover excludes central tax, State tax,
Union territory tax, integrated tax and cess.
Moreover, the value of inward supplies on which tax is payable under reverse charge is not taken
into account for calculation of ‘aggregate turnover’ [Section 2(6) of CGST Act].

8. Discuss the time-limit for issuance of invoice in case of taxable supply of goods.

Solution:

In case of taxable supply of goods, invoice shall be issued before or at the time of—
(a) removal of goods for supply to the recipient, where the supply involves movement of goods; or
(b) delivery of goods or making available thereof to the recipient, in any other case.
In case of continuous supply of goods, where successive statements of accounts/ successive payments are
involved, the invoice shall be issued before/at the time each such statement is issued or each such
payment is received [Section 31 of the CGST Act].

9. What is an electronic cash ledger? Enumerate the modes of making deposit in the electronic cash

Solution:
Electronic cash ledger is maintained in prescribed form for each person, liable to pay tax, interest, penalty,
late fee or any other amount, on the common portal for crediting the amount deposited and debiting the
payment therefrom towards tax, interest, penalty, fee or any other amount.

The deposit can be made through any of the following modes, namely: -

(i) Internet Banking through authorised banks;


(ii) Credit card or Debit card through the authorised bank;
(iii) NEFT or RTGS from any bank; or
(iv) Over the Counter payment through authorised banks for deposits up to ` 10,000/- per challan per tax
period, by cash, cheque or demand draft
[Section 49 of the CGST Act read with rule 87 of the CGST Rules]

10. Examiner whether the following statements are true or false giving brief reasons:

(1) It is mandatory to issue a tax invoice in case a registered person has opted for composition
levy scheme.

(2) A composition tax payer, who has not rendered any taxable supply during a year, is not
required to file any return.

Solution:
(1) The given statement is false. A registered person paying tax under the provisions of section 10
[composition levy] is required to issue, instead of a tax invoice, a bill of supply containing the
specified particulars in the prescribed manner [Section 31(3)(c) read with rule 49 of the CGST Rules].

(2) The given statement is false. Composition tax payer is required to furnish return under section 39 for
every year even if no supplies have been effected during such period. In other words, filing of Nil
return is also mandatory.

11. Discuss any two significant benefits of GST.

Solution:
GST is a win-win situation for the entire country. It brings benefits to all the stakeholders of industry,
Government and the consumer. It will lower the cost of goods and services, give a boost to the economy
and make the products and services globally competitive.

The significant benefits of GST are discussed hereunder:

Creation of unified national market: GST aims to make India a common market with common tax rates
and procedures and remove the economic barriers thus paving the way for an integrated economy at the
national level.

Mitigation of ill effects of cascading: By subsuming most of the Central and State taxes into a single tax
and by allowing a set-off of prior-stage taxes for the transactions across the entire value chain, it would
mitigate the ill effects of cascading, improve competitiveness and improve liquidity of the businesses.

Elimination of multiple taxes and double taxation: GST has subsumed majority of existing indirect tax
levies both at Central and State level into one tax i.e., GST which is leviable uniformly on goods and
services. This will make doing business easier and will also tackle the highly-disputed issues relating to
double taxation of a transaction as both goods and services.

Boost to ‘Make in India' initiative: GST will give a major boost to the ‘Make in India' initiative of the
Government of India by making goods and services produced in India competitive in the national as well as
international market.

Buoyancy to the Government Revenue: GST is expected to bring buoyancy to the Government Revenue
by widening the tax base and improving the taxpayer compliance.

1. “State Government has exclusive power to notify a transaction to be supply of goods or services.”
Discuss the correctness of the statement.

Solution:
The said statement is not correct. State Government can notify a transaction to be supply of goods or
services but only on the recommendations of the GST Council. Further, Central Government or State
Government, both on the recommendations of the GST Council, can notify an activity to be the supply of
goods and not supply of services or supply of services and not supply of goods or neither a supply of goods
nor a supply of services

2. M/s X & Sons, tax consultant of Zenson Ltd., have advised them that reverse charge mechanism is
applicable only to services. Examine the validity of the advice given by M/s X & Sons.

Solution:
The advice given by M/s X & Sons is not valid in law. The reverse charge mechanism applies to supplies of
both goods and services, as notified by the Government on the recommendations of the GST Council vide
section 9(3)/5(3) of CGST/IGST Act, 2017.

Notification No. 4/2017-Central Tax (Rate) and 13/2017- Central Tax (Rate) both dated 28/06/2017 have
been issued. Similar notifications have been issued under IGST Act also.

Reverse charge also applies to supplies received by a registered person from unregistered persons
under section 9(4)/5(4) of CGST/IGST Act, 2017, if notified.

3. Mr. X availing composition scheme u/s 10(1) during a financial year crosses the turnover of ` 1.5
crore during the course of the year i.e. say he crosses the turnover of ` 1.5 Crore in December? Will
he be allowed to pay tax under composition scheme for the remainder of the year i.e. till 31st March?

Solution:
No. The option availed shall lapse from the day on which his aggregate turnover during the financial year
exceeds ` 1.5 Crore vide section 10(3) of CGST Act, 2017.

4. LMN & Co, an unregistered supplier under GST wants to claim input tax credit and collect tax. Can it
do so?

Solution:
No, LMN & Co. cannot claim input tax credit and collect tax. A person without GST registration can neither
collect GST from his customers nor can claim any input tax credit of GST paid by him.

However, if LMN & Co. nevertheless wants to claim input tax credit and collect tax, it can apply for
voluntary registration under section 25(3) of CGST Act, 2017.

5. What is the difference between casual and non- resident taxable persons?

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC M.2
Solution:
Casual and Non-resident taxable persons are separately defined in the CGST Act in Sections 2(20)
and 2(77) respectively. Some of the differences are outlined below:

Casual Taxable Person Non-Resident Taxable Person

furtherance of business

Can claim input tax credit of all inward supplies Can get input tax credit only in respect of
import of goods and /or services

6. State the necessary elements for a supply to be chargeable to GST.

Solution:
The following elements are required to be satisfied for a supply to be chargeable to GST, i.e.-
a) the activity involves supply of goods or services or both;
b) the supply is for a consideration unless otherwise specifically provided for;
c) the supply is made in the course or furtherance of business;
d) the supply is a taxable supply; and
e) the supply is made by a taxable person

7. [SUPPLY] - Modest Ltd., registered in Delhi dealing in supply of electronic items transferred some of
its stock to its another unit located in Haryana (inter-state transfer). Whether such self-supplies are
taxable under GST?

Solution:
Yes, transfer of stock made by Modest Ltd. are taxable under GST. The definition of supply given under
section 7 of CGST Act, 2017 is an inclusive one. It does not specify that supply is to be made by one
person to the another. So, self-supplies are to be treated as supply in terms of section 7 of CGST Act.

Further, section 25(5) provides that where a person who has obtained or is required to obtain registration in
a State or Union territory in respect of an establishment, has an establishment in another State or Union
territory, then such establishments shall be treated as establishments of distinct persons.

Clause (2) of Schedule I of CGST Act, 2017 inter alia provides that supply of goods between distinct
persons as specified in section 25 made in the course or furtherance of business is to treated as supply
even if made without consideration. (Notes are compiled by SATC)

Inter-state self-supplies such as stock transfers, branch transfers or consignment sales shall be taxable
under IGST even though such transactions may not involve payment of consideration. Every supplier is
liable to register under the GST law in the State or Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of
goods or services or both in terms of Section 22 of the CGST Act. However, intra-state self supplies are
not taxable subject to not opting for separate registration for each place of business

8. [TIME OF SUPPLY] - Mr. P supplied goods for the value of ` 10,000 to its customer Miss Prem on
01.01.20XX on the condition that payment for the same will be made within a week. However, Miss
Prem made payment for the said goods on 02.02.20XX and thus paid interest amounting to ` 500.
What is the time of supply with regard to addition in the value by way of interest in lieu of delayed
payment of consideration?

Solution:
As per section 12(6) of CGST Act, 2017, the time of supply with regard to an addition in value on account of
interest, late fee or penalty or delayed payment of consideration shall be the date on which the supplier
received such additional consideration.

Thus, time of supply in respect of interest would be the date on which the supplier has received such
additional consideration, i.e. 02.02.20XX. Further, Mr. P is required to make payment on or before 20th
of March, 20XX

9. There are separate valuation provisions for CGST, SGST and IGST and for Goods and Services.
Examine the correctness of the statement.

Solution:
No, the said statement is not correct. Section 15 of CGST Act determines the value of supply of goods
or services or both. Further, section 15 is applicable for determining value of taxable supply under IGST as
well vide section 20 of IGST Act. Section 20 of IGST Act inter alia provides that the provisions of CGST Act
relating to time and value of supply shall mutatis mutandis apply in relation to integrated tax as they apply in
relation to central tax. Thus, section 15 is common for all three taxes and also common for goods
and services

10. Whether post-supply discounts or incentives are allowed as admissible deduction under section 15 of
the CGST Act? If yes, what are the necessary conditions to be complied with for availing such
deduction?

Solution:
Yes, post-supply discounts or incentives are allowed as admissible deduction under section 15 of the CGST
Act. Where the post-supply discount is established as per the agreement which is known at or before the
time of supply and where such discount specifically linked to the relevant invoice and the recipient has
reversed input tax credit attributable to such discount, the discount is allowed as admissible deduction
under Section 15(3)(b) of the CGST Act.

11. The time of liability to pay GST is independent of the time of supply of goods/ services. Discuss the
correctness of the statement?

Solution:
The said statement is not correct. Liability to pay arises at the time of supply of goods as explained in
Section 12 and at the time of supply of services as explained in Section 13 of CGST Act.

The time is generally the earliest of one of the three events, namely receiving payment, issuance of invoice
or completion of supply. Different situations envisaged and different tax points have been explained in the
aforesaid sections

12. LP Ltd., obtains registration for paying taxes under section 9 of CGST Act. He asked his tax manager
to pay taxes on quarterly basis. However, LP Ltd.’s tax manager advised the Co. to pay taxes on
monthly basis. You are required to examine the validity of the advice given by tax manager?

Solution:
The advice given by tax manager is valid in law. Payment of taxes by the normal tax payer is to be done on
monthly basis by the 20th of the succeeding month. Cash payments will be first deposited in the Cash
Ledger and the tax payer shall debit the ledger while making payment in the monthly returns and shall
reflect the relevant debit entry number in his return. However, payment can also be debited from the Credit
Ledger. Payment of taxes for the month of March shall be paid by the 20th of April. Composition tax
payers will need to pay tax on quarterly basis.

(2) Services by way of storage/ warehousing of, inter alia, jaggery are exempt from GST vide Exemption
Notification No. 12/2017 CT(R) dated 28.06.2017 (hereinafter referred to as exemption notification).

(3) Services by way of giving on hire to a local authority, an Electrically operated vehicle (EOV) meant to
carry more than 12 passengers are exempt vide exemption notification. Buses are EOVs meant to carry
more than 12 passengers. Hence, services of giving electrically operated buses on hire to Municipal

body corporate to a registered person is payable by the recipient of service under reverse charge in
terms of reverse charge notification. Hence, Pethalal will not be liable to pay GST in the given case.

(7) GST on services provided by a GTA (not paying tax @ 12%) to, inter alia, a registered person is
payable by the recipient of service i.e., the registered person, under reverse charge in terms of reverse

turnover of Pethalal did not exceed ` 20 lakh [the applicable threshold limit for registration for Pethalal
being a supplier of services] in the preceding FY, legal services received by him are exempt from GST.
(9) As per section 49(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, amount available in the electronic credit ledger may be
used for making payment towards output tax. However, tax payable under reverse charge is not an
output tax in terms of section 2(82) of the CGST Act, 2017. Therefore, tax payable under reverse
charge cannot be set off against the input tax credit and thus, will have to be paid in cash.
(10) Since all the transactions given hereunder are intra-State, CGST and SGST are payable in terms of
section 9(1) of the CGST Act, 2017

2. Dushyant rents out a commercial building owned by him to Bharat for the month of December, for
which he charges a rent of ` 19,50,000. Dushyant pays the maintenance charges of ` 1,00,000 (for
the December month) as charged by the local society. These charges have been reimbursed to him

3. VERY IMPORTANT Examine whether the suppliers are eligible for composition scheme under Section
10(1) in the following independent cases. Is there any other option available for concessional tax
payment with any of these suppliers, wherever composition scheme under Section 10(1) cannot be
availed?

(a) M/s Devlok, a registered dealer, is dealing in intra-State trading of electronic appliances in Jaipur
(Rajasthan). It has turnover of ` 130 lakh in the preceding financial year. In the current financial
year, it has also started providing repairing services of electronic appliances.

(b) M/s Narayan & Sons, a registered dealer, is running a “Khana Khazana” Restaurant near City
Palace in Jaipur. It has turnover of ` 140 lakh in the preceding financial year. In the current
financial year, it has also started dealing in intra -State trading of beverages in Jaipur (Rajasthan).

(c) M/s Indra & bro, a registered dealer, is providing restaurant services in Uttarakhand. It has
turnover of ` 70 lakh in the preceding financial year. It has started providing intra-State interior
designing services in the current financial year and discontinued rendering restaurant services.

(d) M/s Him Naresh, a registered dealer, is exclusively providing intra -state architect services in
Uttarakhand. It has turnover of ` 40 lakh in the preceding financial year.

Solution:
As per section 10(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, the following registered persons, whose aggregate turnover in
the preceding financial year did not exceed ` 1.5 crore, may opt to pay tax under composition levy.
(a) Manufacturer,
(b) Persons engaged in making supplies referred to in clause (b) of paragraph 6 of Schedule II (restaurant
services), and
(c) Any other supplier eligible for composition levy.

Thus, essentially, the composition scheme can be availed in respect of goods and only one service namely,
restaurant service. However, the scheme permits supply of other marginal services for a specified value along
with the supply of goods and restaurant service, as the case may be. Such marginal services can be supplied
for a value up to 10% of the turnover in the preceding year or ` 5 lakh, whichever is higher.

Further, the registered person should not be engaged in making any inter-State outward supplies of goods.

Furthermore, w.e.f. 01/01/2020; an option of availing benefit of composition tax under Section 10(2A) has
been provided to a registered person whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year is upto ` 50
lakh and who is not eligible to pay tax under composition scheme under Section 10(1). Said person can pay
tax maximum @ 3% [Effective rate 6% (CGST+ SGST/UTGST)] on first supplies of goods and/or services up
to an aggregate turnover of ` 50 lakh made on/after 1st April in any financial year (FY), subject to specified
conditions provided in Section 10(2A). One of such condition is that the registered person should not be
engaged in making any inter-state outward taxable supplies.

In view of the above-mentioned provisions, the answer to the given independent cases is as under:-

(a) The turnover limit for composition scheme under Section 10(1) in case of Jaipur (Rajasthan) is ` 1.5
crore. Thus, M/s Devlok can opt for composition scheme under Section 10(1) as its aggregate turnover is
less than ` 1.5 crore. Further, since the registered person opting for composition scheme can also supply
services (other than restaurant services) for a value up to 10% of the turnover in the preceding year or ` 5
lakh, whichever is higher, in the current financial year, M/s Devlok can supply repair services up to a value
of ` 13 lakh [10% of ` 130 lakh or ` 5 lakh, whichever is higher] in the current financial year.

(b) In the given case:-


(i) the turnover in the preceding year is less than the eligible turnover limit, i.e.` 1.5 crore.
(ii) the supplier is engaged in providing restaurant service which is an eligible supply under composition
scheme under Section 10(1) .
(iii) the supplier wants to engage in trading of goods which is also an eligible supply under composition
scheme.
Thus, M/s Narayan & Sons is eligible for composition scheme under Section 10(1).

GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC N.5
(c) The turnover limit for composition scheme under Section 10(1) in case of Uttarakhand is ` 75 lakh.
Further, a registered person who is exclusively engaged in supplying services other than restaurant
services are not eligible for composition scheme under Section 10(1). Thus, M/s Indra & bro cannot opt
for composition scheme under Section 10(1).

Further, the benefit of composition tax payment under composition scheme under Section 10(2A) is
available in case of a registered person whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year does
not exceed ` 50 lakh.

Thus, in view of the above- mentioned provisions, M/s Indra & bro cannot avail the benefit of composition
tax payment as its aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year is more than ` 50 lakh.

(d) An exclusive service provider can opt for the composition scheme under Section 10(1) only if he is
engaged in supply of restaurant services. The composition scheme permits supply of marginal services
for a specified value, but only when the same are supplied along with goods and/or restaurant service.

Since M/s Him Naresh is exclusively engaged in supply of services other than restaurant services, it is not
eligible for composition scheme under Section 10(1) even though its turnover in the preceding year is
less than ` 75 lakh, the eligible turnover limit for Uttarakhand.

However, since M/s Him Naresh is not eligible to opt for composition scheme under Section 10(1), its
aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year does not exceed ` 50 lakh and it is exclusively
engaged in supply of services other than restaurant services, M/s Him Naresh is entitled to avail
composition scheme under Section 10(2A).

4. VERY IMPORTANT LMN Pvt. Ltd., Coimbatore exclusively manufactures and sells product ‘X’ which
is exempt from GST vide notifications issued under relevant GST legislations. The company sells ‘X’
only within Tamil Nadu. The turnover of the company in the previous year was ` 45 lakh. The
company expects the sales to grow by 30% in the current year.

The company purchased additional machinery for manufacturing ‘X’ on 01.07.20XX. The purchase
price of the capital goods was ` 30 lakh exclusive of GST @ 18%.

However, effective from 01.11.20XX, exemption available on ‘X’ was withdrawn by the Central
Government and GST @ 12% was imposed thereon. The turnover of the company for the half year
ended on 30.09.20XX was ` 45 lakh.

(a) Examine the above scenario and advise LMN Pvt Ltd. whether it needs to get registered under
GST.
(b) If the answer to the above question is in affirmative, advise LMN Pvt. Ltd. whether it can avail
input tax credit on the additional machinery purchased exclusively for manufacturing “X”?

Solution:
(a) Section 22(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated 07.03.2019 inter alia
provides that every supplier who is engaged in intra-State exclusive supply of goods is liable to be
registered under GST in the State/ Union territory from where he makes the taxable supply of goods only
when aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds ` 40,00,000.
However, the above provisions are not applicable to few specified States, i.e. States of Arunachal
Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, Sikkim, Telangana, Tripura,
Uttarakhand.
Further, a person exclusively engaged in the business of supplying goods and/or services that are not
liable to tax or are wholly exempt from tax is not liable to registration in terms of section 23(1)(a) of CGST
Act, 2017.
In the given case, the turnover of the company for the half year ended on 30.09.20XX is ` 45 lakh which is
more than the applicable threshold limit of ` 40 lakh. Therefore, as per above mentioned provisions, the
company should be liable to registration. However, since LMN Pvt. Ltd. supplied exempted goods till
31.10.20XX, it was not required to be registered till that day; though voluntary registration was allowed
under section 25(3) of the CGST Act, 2017.

However, the position will change from 01.11.20XX as the supply of goods become taxable from that day
and the turnover of company is above ` 40 lakh. It is important to note here that in terms of section 2(6) of
the CGST Act, 2017, the aggregate turnover limit of ` 40 lakh includes exempt turnover also.

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC N.6
Therefore, turnover of ‘X’ will be considered for determining the limit of ` 40 lakh even though the same
was exempt from GST. Therefore, the company needs to register within 30 days from 01.11.20XX (the
date on which it becomes liable to registration) in terms of section 25(1) of the CGST Act, 2017.

(b) Section 18(1)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017 provides that a person who has applied for registration within 30
days from the date on which he becomes liable to registration and has been granted such registration
shall be entitled to take credit of i nput tax in respect of inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi -
finished or finished goods held in stock on the day immediately preceding the date from which he
becomes liable to pay tax under the provisions of this Act.

Thus, LMN Pvt. Ltd. cannot avail credit for additional machinery purchased exclusively for manufacturing
X as input tax credit of only inputs is allowed when a person gets registered for the first time.

5. VERY IMPORTANT Mahadev Enterprises, a sole proprietorship firm, opened a shopping complex
dealing in supply of goods at multiple locations, i.e. in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Tripura in
the month of June.

It has furnished the following details relating to the sale made at such multiple locations for the month
of June:-
(`)*
Particulars Himachal Uttarakhand Tripura
Pradesh
Intra- State sale of taxable goods 22,50,000 - 7,00,000
Intra-State sale of exempted goods - - 6,00,000
Interest received from banks on the fixed deposits - - 60,000
Intra-State sale of non-taxable goods - 21,00,000 40,000

* excluding GST

With the help of the above mentioned information, answer the following questions giving reasons:-

1. Determine whether Mahadev Enterprises is liable to be registered under GST law and what is the
threshold limit of taking registration in this case .
2. Explain with reasons whether your answer in (1) will change in the following independent cases:

(a) If Mahadev Enterprises is dealing in taxable supply of goods only from Himachal Pradesh;
(b) If Mahadev Enterprises is dealing in taxable supply of goods and services only from Himachal
Pradesh;
(c) If Mahadev Enterprises is dealing in taxable supply of goods only from Himachal Pradesh and
has also effected inter - State supplies of taxable goods amounting to ` 4,00,000.

Solution:
As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated 07.03.2019, a supplier
is liable to be registered in the State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of goods and/or
services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds the threshold limit. The threshold limit for a
person making exclusive intra-State taxable supplies of goods is as under:-

(i) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(ii) ` 20 lakh for the States of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim, T elangana and
Uttarakhand.
(iii) ` 40 lakh for rest of India.

The threshold limit for a person making exclusive taxable supply of services or supply of both goods
and services is as under:-

(i) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(ii) ` 20 lakh for the rest of India.

GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC N.7
As per section 2(6) of the CGST Act, 2017, aggregate turnover includes the aggregate value of:

(i) all taxable supplies,


(ii) all exempt supplies,
(iii) exports of goods and/or services and
(iv) all inter-State supplies of persons having the same PAN.

The above is computed on all India basis.

In the light of the afore-mentioned provisions, the aggregate turnover of Mahadev Enterprises is computed as
under:

Computation of State-wise aggregate turnover of Mahadev Enterprises


(`)*
Particulars Himachal Uttarakhand Tripura
Pradesh
Intra- State sale of taxable goods 22,50,000 - 7,00,000
Intra-State sale of exempted goods - - 6,00,000
Interest received from banks on the fixed deposits [Note-1] - - 60,000
Intra-State sale of non-taxable goods [Note-2] - 21,00,000 40,000
Aggregate Turnover 22,50,000 21,00,000 14,00,000

Notes:
1. Services by way of extending deposits, loans or advances in so far as the consideration is represented by
way of interest or discount (other than interest involved in credit card services) is exempt vide Notification
No. 12/2017 CT (R) dated 28.06.2017. Since aggregate turnover includes exempt supply, interest
received from banks on the fixed deposits, being exempt supply, is included in the aggregate turnover.

2. As per section 2(47) of the CGST Act, 2017, exempt supply includes non -taxable supply. Thus, intra -
State supply of non-taxable goods in Uttarakhand, being a non-taxable supply, is an exempt supply and
is, therefore, included in the aggregate turnover.

In the given case, Mahadev Enterprises is engaged in exclusive intra -State supply of goods from
Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and in supply of both goods and exempted services from Tripura, the
threshold limit for registration will be ` 40 lakh, ` 20 lakh and ` 10 lakh respectively.

Further, since Mahadev Enterprises also makes taxable supply of goods from one of the specified
Special Category States (i.e. Tripura), the threshold limit for registration will be reduced to ` 10
lakh.

(1) Thus, in view of the above-mentioned provisions, Mahadev Enterprises is liable to be registered
under GST law with the aggregate turnover amounting to ` 57,50,000 (computed on all India basis).
The applicable threshold limit of registration in this case is ` 10 lakh.

(2) (a) If Mahadev Enterprises is dealing in supply of goods only from Himachal Pradesh, the applicable
threshold limit of registration would be ` 40 lakh. Thus, Mahadev Enterprises will not be liable for
registration as its aggregate turnover would be ` 22,50,000.

(a) If Mahadev Enterprises is dealing in taxable supply of goods and services only from Himachal
Pradesh then higher threshold limit of ` 40 lakh will not be applicable as the same applies only in
case of exclusive supply of goods. Therefore, in this case, the applicable threshold limit will be `
20 lakh and hence, Mahadev Enterprises will be liable to registration.

(b) In case of inter-State supplies of taxable goods, section 24 of the CGST Act, 2017 requires
compulsory registration irrespective of the quantum of aggregate turnover. Thus, Mahadev
Enterprises will be liable to registration.

6. “Diligent Force” a professional training institute gets its training material of “Aptitute Quotient”
printed from “Durga printing House” a printing press. The content of the material is provided by the
Diligent Force who owns the usage rights of the same while the physical inputs including paper used
for printing belong to the Durga Printing House.
Ascertain whether supply of training material by the Durga Printing House constitutes supply of
goods or supply of services.

Solution:
Circular No. 11/11/2017 GST dated 20.10.2017 has clarified that supply of books printed with contents
supplied by the recipient of such printed goods, is composite supply and the question, whether such supplies
constitute supply of goods or services would be determined on the basis of what constitutes the principal
supply.
Principal supply has been defined in section 2(90) of the CGST Act as supply of goods or services which
constitutes the predominant element of a composite supply and to which any other supply forming part of that
composite supply is ancillary.
In the case of printing of books where content is supplied by the publisher or the person who owns the usage
rights to the intangible inputs while the physical inputs including paper used for printing belong to the printer,
supply of printing [of the content supplied by the recipient of supply] is the principal supply and therefore,
such supplies would constitute supply of service.
Thus, in view of the above-mentioned provisions, the supply of training material by the Durga Printing House
would constitute supply of services.

7. With reference to the provisions of section 17 of the CGST Act, 2017, examine the availability of input
tax credit under the CGST Act, 2017 in the following independent cases:-
(i) MBF Ltd., an automobile company, has availed works contract service for construction of a
foundation on which a machinery (to be used in the production process) is to be mounted
permanently.
(ii) Shah & Constructions procured cement, paint, iron rods and services of architects and interior
designers for construction of a commercial complex for one of its clients.
(iii) ABC Ltd. availed maintenance & repair services from “Jaggi Motors” for a truck used for
transporting its finished goods.

Solution:
(i) Section 17(5)(c) of the CGST Act, 2017 blocks input tax credit in respect of works contract services when
supplied for construction of an immovable property (other than plant and machinery) except where it is an
input service for further supply of works contract service.

Further, the term “plant and machinery” means apparatus, equipment and machinery fixed to earth by
foundation or structural support that are used for making outward supply of goods and/or services and
includes such foundation or structural support but excludes land, building or other civil structures,
telecommunication towers, and pipelines laid outside the factory premises.

(ii) Thus, in view of the above-mentioned provisions, ITC is available in respect of works contract service
availed by MBF Ltd. as the same is used for construction of plant and machinery which is not blocked
under section 17(5)(c) of the CGST Act, 2017.
Section 17(5)(d) of the CGST Act, 2017 blocks ITC on goods and/or services received by a taxable
person for construction of an immovable property (other than plant and machinery) on his own account
even though such goods and/or services are used in the course or furtherance of business. Thus, ITC on
goods and/or services used in the construction of an immovable property is blocked only in those cases
where the taxable person constructs the immovable property for his own use even if the immovable
property being constructed is used in the course or furtherance of his business.
In the given case, taxable person has used the goods and services for construction of immovable property
for some other person and not on its own account. Hence, ITC in this case will be allowed.
(iii) As per section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017, ITC is allowed on repair and maintenance services relating
to motor vehicles, which are eligible for input tax credit. Further, as per section 17(5)(a) ITC is allowed on
motor vehicles which are used for transportation of goods.

Thus, ITC on maintenance & repair services availed from “Jaggi Motors” for a truck used for transporting its
finished goods is allowed to ABC Ltd.

8. VERY IMP - With reference to the provisions relating to the electronic way bill (E-way bill) as
prescribed under the GST laws, answer the following questions:
(i) Sindhi Toys Manufacturers, registered in Punjab, sold electronic toys to a retail seller in
Gujarat, at a value of ` 48,000 (excluding GST leviable @ 18%). Now, it wants to send the
consignment of such toys to the retail seller in Gujarat.
You are required to advise Sindhi Toys Manufacturers on the following issues:
(a) Whether e-way bill is mandatorily required to be generated in respect of such movement of
goods?
(b) If yes, who is required to generate the e-way bill?

(ii) Power Electricals Ltd., a registered supplier of air-conditioners, is required to send from
Mumbai (Maharashtra), a consignment of parts of air-conditioner to be replaced under warranty
at various client locations in Gujarat. The value of consignment declared in delivery challan
accompanying the goods is ` 70,000. Power Electricals Ltd. claims that since movement of
goods to Gujarat is caused due to reasons other than supply, e-way bill is not mandatorily
required to be generated in this case.
You are required to examine the technical veracity of the claim made by Power Electricals Ltd.
(iii) Beauty Cosmetics Ltd. has multiple wholesale outlets of cosmetic products in Mumbai,
Maharashtra. It receives an order for cosmetics worth ` 1,20,000 (inclusive of GST leviable @
18%) from Prasannaa, owner of a retail cosmetic store in Delhi. While checking the stock, it is
found that order worth ` 55,000 can be fulfilled from the company's Dadar (Mumbai) store and
remaining goods worth ` 65,000 can be sent from its Malad (Mumbai) store. Both the stores are
instructed to issue separate invoices for the goods sent to Prasannaa. The goods are
transported to Prasanna in Delhi, in a single conveyance owned by Radhey Transporters.
You are required to advise Beauty Cosmetics Ltd. with regard to issuance of e-way bill(s).
Solution:
(i) Rule 138(1) of the CGST Rules, 2017 provides that e-way Bill is mandatorily required to be generated
if the goods are moved, inter alia, in relation to supply and the consignment value exceeds ` 50,000.
Further, explanation 2 to rule 138(1) stipulates that the consignment value of goods shall be the value,
determined in accordance with the provisions of section 15, declared in an invoice, a bill of supply or a
delivery challan, as the case may be, issued in respect of the said consignment and also includes
CGST, SGST/UTGST, IGST and cess charged, if any, in the document and shall exclude the value of
exempt supply of goods where the invoice is issued in respect of both exempt and taxable supply of
goods.
Accordingly, in the given case, the consignment value will be as follows:
= ` 48,000 x 118%
= ` 56,640.
Since the movement of goods is in relation to supply of goods and the consignment value
exceeds ` 50,000, e-way bill is mandatorily required to be issued in the given case.

(b) An e-way bill contains two parts namely, Part A to be furnished by the registered person who is
causing movement of goods of consignment value exceeding ` 50,000/- and part B (transport
details) is to be furnished by the person who is transporting the goods.

Where the goods are transported by the registered person as a consignor or the recipient of
supply as the consignee, whether in his own conveyance or a hired one or a public conveyance,
by road, the said person shall generate the e-way bill on the common portal after furnishing
information in Part B [Rule 138(2)].

Where the goods are transported by railways or by air or vessel, the e-way bill shall be generated
by the registered person, being the supplier or the recipient, who shall, either before or after the
commencement of movement, furnish, on the common portal, the information in Part B [Rule
138(2A)].

Where the goods are handed over to a transporter for transportation by road, the registered
person shall furnish the information relating to the transporter on the common portal and the e-
way bill shall be generated by the transporter on the said portal on the basis of the information
furnished by the registered person in Part A [Rule 138(3)].

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC N.10
Where the consignor or the consignee has not generated the e-way bill and the aggregate of the
consignment value of goods carried in the conveyance is more than ` 50,000/, the transporter,
except in case of transportation of goods by railways, air and vessel, shall, in respect of inter-
State supply, generate the e-way bill on the basis of invoice or bill of supply or delivery challan, as
the case may be, and may also generate a consolidated e-way bill on the common portal prior to
the movement of goods [Rule 138(7)].

(ii) The goods to be moved to another State for replacement under warranty is not a ‘supply'. However,
rule 138(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, inter alia, stipulates that every registered person who causes
movement of goods of consignment value exceeding ` 50,000:
(i) in relation to a supply; or
(ii) for reasons other than supply; or
(iii) due to inward supply from an unregistered person,
shall, generate an electronic way bill (E-way Bill) before commencement of such movement.
CBIC has also clarified that even if the movement of goods is caused due to reasons others than
supply [including replacement of goods under warranty], e-way bill is required to be issued.
Thus, in the given case, since the consignment value exceeds ` 50,000, e-way bill is required to be
mandatorily generated. Therefore, the claim of Power Electricals Ltd. that e-way bill is not
mandatorily required to be generated as the movement of goods is caused due to reasons
other than supply, is not correct.

(iii) Beauty Cosmetics Ltd. would be required to prepare two separate e-way bills since each invoice value
exceeds ` 50,000 and each invoice is considered as one consignment for the purpose of generating e-
way bills.

The FAQs on E-way Bill issued by CBIC clarify that if multiple invoices are issued by the supplier to
one recipient, that is, for movement of goods of more than one invoice of same consignor and
consignee, multiple e-way bills have to be generated. In other words, for each invoice, one e-way
bill has to be generated, irrespective of the fact whether same or different consignors or
consignees are involved. Multiple invoices cannot be clubbed to generate one e-way bill.
However, after generating all these e-way bills, one consolidated e-way bill can be prepared for
transportation purpose, if goods are going in one vehicle.

9. Jai, a registered supplier, runs a general store in Ludhiana, Punjab. Some of the goods sold by him
are exempt whereas some are taxable. You are required to advise him on the following issues:
(i) Whether Jai is required to issue a tax invoices in all cases, even if he is selling the goods to the
end consumers?
(ii) Jai sells some exempted as well as taxable goods valuing ` 5,000 to a school student. Is he
mandatorily required to issue two separate GST documents?
(iii) Jai wishes to know whether it’s necessary to show tax amount separately in the tax invoices
issued to the customers. You are required to advise him.

Solution:
(i) As per Section 31(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, every registered person supplying taxable goods is
required to issue a tax invoice. Section 31(3)(c) of the CGST Act, 2017 stipulates that every registered
person supplying exempted goods is required to issue a bill of supply instead of tax invoice.

Further, as per Section 31(3)(b) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with rule 46 of the CGST Rules, 2017, a
registered person may not issue a tax invoice if:

(i) value of the goods supplied < ` 200,


(ii) the recipient is unregistered; and
(iii) the recipient does not require such invoice.

Instead such registered person shall issue a Consolidated Tax Invoice for such supplies at the close of
each day in respect of all such supplies.

GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC N.11
(ii) As per rule 46A of the CGST Rules, 2017, where a registered person is supplying taxable as well as
exempted goods or services or both to an unregistered person, a single “invoice-cum-bill of supply”

2. Surya Agencies has agreed to supply goods to customer's premises. Goods valued ` 80,000 are
taxable @ 5% IGST as it is an inter-State supply. It also pays freight and transit insurance of ` 12,000.
GTA is a registered entity and has charged GST (6% CGST and 6% SGST) under forward charge.
(i) Compute the invoice value of supply including IGST.
(ii) What will be the invoice value of supply including IGST, if the supply was under ex-factory basis
instead of door-delivery basis?

Answer
Computation of invoice value of supply
(i) When supplier agrees to supply the goods at customer’s premises, i.e. freight and transit
insurance are paid by the supplier, invoice value of supply will be computed as follows:

Particulars Amount (`)


Value of goods supplied 80,000
Add: Freight and transit insurance 12,000
[Since the supplier has agreed to deliver the goods at the customer’s premises and to
pay for freight and insurance, the contract of supply becomes a composite supply, the
principal supply being the supply of goods.]
Total 92,000
Add: IGST @ 5% 4,600
[Being a composite supply, GST at the rate applicable for principal supply will be
charged]
Invoice value of supply 96,600

(ii) When supplier agrees to supply the goods on ex-factory basis, i.e. the buyer pays the freight
and transit insurance, invoice value of supply will be computed as follows:

Particulars Amount (`)


Value of goods supplied 80,000
Add: IGST @ 5% of ` 80,000 4,000
Invoice value of supply 84,000

Note: The above answer is based on the view that part (ii) of the question is an independent case and
thus, the information provided in the first paragraph of the question regarding payment of freight and
transit insurance by Surya Agencies does not apply to it. Moreover, when the contract is ex-factory, it
implies that the freight and insurance will be the buyer’s responsibility and seller will have no role,
whatsoever, in delivering the goods to the customer’s premises.

consignment for the purpose of generating e-way bills.

Notes:
(1) As per section 15(2) of the CGST Act, 2017-
(i) All incidental expenses, including packing, charged by the supplier to the recipient of a supply
are includible in the value of supply.
(ii) Any amount charged for anything done by the supplier in respect of the supply of goods at the
time of, or before delivery of goods is includible in the value of supply.
(iii) Any taxes levied under any law for the time being in force other than
CGST/SGST/UTGST/IGST, if charged separately by the supplier are includible in the value of
supply.
(iv) Any amount that the supplier is liable to pay in relation to such supply, but which has been
incurred by the recipient of the supply and not included in the price actually paid or payable for
the goods and/or services is includible in the value of supply.
(v) Interest for the delayed payment of any consideration for any supply is includible in the value of
supply. Further, it is assumed that such interest is inclusive of tax and that the same has
been received by M/s. Jonty India Ltd. in the month of February itself. Therefore, the time
of supply of such interest will be in February, 20XX and the same will be considered while
paying the tax liability of that month.
(vi) Subsidies directly linked to the price excluding subsidies provided by the Central Government
and State Governments are includible in the value of supply. Since in the given case, subsidy is
received from State Government, the same has not been included in the value of supply
presuming it to be directly linked to the price.*
(2) Trade discount has been shown in the invoice and hence, the same is excluded from the value of
supply in terms of section 15(3) of the CGST Act, 2017.
(3) ITC on food or beverages is specifically disallowed unless the same is used for making outward
taxable supply of the same category or as an element of the taxable composite or mixed supply 1
[Section 17(5)]. Further, since transformers are used in the course or furtherance of business, ITC
thereon is available in terms of section 16(1).

Note- In the above answer, it has been assumed that the basic price of the machine has been
arrived at after adjusting the subsidy and that the basic price is the price charged from the
customer.

Consequently, subsidy received from State Government has not been reduced from the basic price
of the machine while arriving at the taxable value of supply.

However, it is also possible to assume that the subsidy has yet not been adjusted in the basic price
and that the price which will be charged from the customer is ` 27,70,000 (` 28,50,000 - ` 80,000)
i.e., after excluding subsidy. In that case, the value of supply will be ` 28,61,669.

12. Chiku Traders is a registered supplier of plastic goods. On 10th April, 20XX, Chiku Traders received an
order from Neelu Traders for supply of a consignment of plastic goods. Chiku Traders gets the
consignment ready by 15th April, 20XX. The invoice for the consignment was issued the next day, 16th

the books of accounts of Chiku Traders on 26th April, 20XX and amount is credited in their bank
account on 27th April, 20XX.
Determine the time of supply of the plastic goods supplied by Chiku Traders to Neelu Traders as per
the provisions of CGST Act, 2017.

Answer
A registered person (excluding composition supplier) has to pay GST on the outward supply of goods at the
time of supply as specified in section 12(2)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017, i.e. date of issue of invoice or the last
date on which invoice ought to have been issued in terms of section 31(1).
As per section 31, the invoice in case of supply of goods needs to be issued either before or at the time of
removal/delivery of goods.
In this case, the invoice is issued before the removal of the goods and is thus, within the time limit prescribed
under section 31(1). Therefore, time of supply is the date of issue of invoice, which is 16 th April, 20XX.

14. On 25th August, 2020, M/s Agarwal & Agarwal Ltd., a registered supplier of textile products located in
Bengaluru (Karnataka) purchased one machine for ` 12,39,000 including IGST, from one supplier of
Maharashtra who issued invoice on the same date. M/s Agarwal & Agarwal Ltd. put the machinery to
use on the same day and availed input tax credit for the eligible amount.
M/s Agarwal & Agarwal Ltd. sold this machine after using the machine in the process of
manufacture of taxable goods for ` 7,50,000 excluding IGST, to Mr. Suresh Kumar of Andhra
Pradesh on 20th August 2021.
During purchase as well as sale of the machinery, the IGST rate applicable was 18%.
Is M/s Agarwal & Agarwal Ltd., required to pay GST? If yes, calculate the amount of tax payable
under GST Laws at the time of sale of the machine. Also briefly state the relevant statutory
provisions.
Note: Assume that there was no change in legal position after August, 2021.

Answer
As per section 18 of the CGST Act, 2017, if capital goods/ plant and machinery on which input tax credit
(ITC) has been taken are supplied outward by a registered person, he must pay an amount that is higher of
the following:
(a) ITC taken on such goods reduced by 5% per quarter of a year or part thereof from the date of issue of
invoice for such goods or
(b) tax on transaction value.

Accordingly, the amount payable on supply of machinery by M/s Agarwal & Agarwal Ltd. shall be
computed as follows:
Particulars `
ITC taken on the machinery (` 12,39,000 x 18/118) 1,89,000
Less: Input tax credit to be reversed @ 5% per quarter for the period
of use of machine
(i) For the year 2020-21 = (` 1,89,000 x 5%) x 3 quarters 28,350
(ii) For the year 2021-22 = (` 1,89,000 x 5%) x 2 quarters 18,900
Amount required to be paid (A) ** 1,41,750
Duty leviable on transaction value (` 7,50,000 x 18%) (B) 1,35,000
Amount payable towards disposal of machine is higher of (A) and (B) 1,41,750

Thus, M/s Agarwal & Agarwal Ltd. is required to pay GST amounting to ` 1,41,750 at the time of sale of
machinery.

** In the above solution, amount payable towards disposal of machine has been computed on the basis of
provisions of section 18(6) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with rule 40(2) of the CGST Rules, 2017 [wherein
ITC to be reversed for the period of use of capital goods/machine has been computed @ 5% for every
quarter or part thereof from the date of the issue of invoice].

15. Happy Ltd. located at Alwar (Rajasthan), exclusively manufactures and sells the product "Shine &
Shine", which is exempt from GST. Happy Ltd. sells "Shine & Shine" only within Rajasthan. The
turnover of Happy Ltd. in the previous year was ` 60 lakhs. Happy Ltd. purchased additional
machinery (Capital Goods) for manufacturing "Shine & Shine" on 1 st April, 2020. The invoice for
supply of machinery also was issued on 1st April, 2020. The purchase price of the machinery was
` 25 lakh exclusive of CGST and SGST @ 12% (6% + 6%). On 1 st December, 2020 exemption available
on the product "Shine & Shine" was withdrawn by the Central Government and CGST and SGST
@18% (9% + 9%) was imposed thereon. The turnover of Happy Ltd. on 30 th September, 2020 was ` 45
lakh.
Examine the issue and provide the answers (with supporting explanatory note for each answer) to
the following:
(i) Does Happy Ltd. have to register under CGST Act, 2017?
(ii) Can Happy Ltd. take Credit of tax paid on the machinery purchased? If yes, what is the amount
of Input Tax Credit (ITC) that can be availed?

Answer
i. As per section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 read with Notification No. 10/2019 CT dated 07.03.2019, a
supplier is liable to be registered in the State/Union territory from where he makes a taxable supply of
goods and/or services, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds the threshold limit. The
threshold limit for a person making exclusive intra - State taxable supplies of goods is as under:-
(a) ` 10 lakh for the States of Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland.
(b) ` 20 lakh for the States of States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Sikkim,
Telangana and Uttarakhand.
(c) ` 40 lakh for rest of India. However, the higher threshold limit of ` 40 lakh is not available to
persons engaged in making supplies of ice cream and other edible ice, whether or not
containing cocoa, Pan masala and Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes.

The term ‘aggregate turnover' includes exempt turnover also. However, a person exclusively engaged
in making exempt supplies is not liable to registration in terms of section 23(1) of CGST Act, 2017.

In view of combined reading of above provisions, although the ‘aggregate turnover' of Happy Ltd.
exceeds the applicable threshold limit of ` 40 lakh on 30.09.2020 [` 45 lakh], it was not required to be
registered till 30.11.2020 as it supplied only exempted goods till that day.

Therefore, Happy Ltd. needs to register within 30 days from 01.12.2020 (the date on which its supplies
became taxable) as its turnover had already exceeded the threshold limit of ` 40 lakh on 01.12.2020.

ii. As per section 17 of the CGST Act, the input tax credit (ITC) on capital goods used or intended to be
used exclusively for effecting exempt supplies is disallowed. However, where an exempt supply by a
registered person becomes a taxable supply, such person gets entitled to take proportionate ITC on
such capital goods in terms of section 18(1)(d) of CGST Act, 2017. Thus, a non-registered person
cannot take ITC on capital goods under this provision.

Further, a person who has applied for registration within thirty days from the date on which he
becomes liable to registration and has been granted such registration is also not entitled to take ITC on
capital goods held with him on the day immediately preceding the date from which he becomes liable
to pay tax in terms of section 18(1)(a) of CGST Act, 2017.

In the given case, Happy Ltd. is not registered at the time when its exempt supply becomes taxable.
Thus, the company cannot take proportionate ITC on capital goods as mentioned above. Further, the
company will also not be entitled for credit on capital goods held with it when it applies for registration
in the prescribed manner.

Notes:
1. Credit of IGST shall be utilized towards payment of IGST first and then with CGST and SGST in
any order. Since Quanto Ltd. does not make any inter-State supply, credit of IGST has been utilized
towards payment of CGST [Section 49(5) of the CGST Act, 2017].
2. As per section 18(1)(b) of the CGST Act, 2017-
A person who takes voluntary registration is entitled to take credit of input tax in respect of:
• inputs held in stock and
• inputs contained in semi-finished/ finished goods held in stock on the day immediately
preceding the date of grant of registration.
However, he cannot take ITC in respect of capital goods held on the day immediately preceding the
date of grant of registration.
ITC on inputs needs to be availed within 1 year from the date of issue of the invoice by the supplier
[Section 18(2) of the CGST Act, 2017].

In this case, since Quanto Ltd. has been granted voluntary registration on 25.09.2020, it will be entitled to
ITC on inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi-finished/ finished goods held in stock, on
24.09.2020. In view of the said provisions, eligible ITC for Quanto Ltd. is computed as follows:

17. Sharma Carriers is a Good Transport Agency engaged in transportation of goods by road. As per the
general business practice, Sharma carriers also provides intermediary and ancillary services like
loading /unloading, packing/unpacking, transhipment and temporary warehousing in relation to
transportation of goods by road.
With reference to the provisions of GST law, analyse whether such services are to be treated as part
of the GTA services, being a composite supply or as mixed supply.

Answer
Composite supply means a supply made by a taxable person to a recipient consisting of two or more
taxable supplies of goods or services or both, or any combination thereof, which are naturally bundled and
supplied in conjunction with each other in the ordinary course of business, one of which is a principal supply
[Section 2(30) of the CGST Act, 2017].

Mixed supply means two or more individual supplies of goods or services, or any combination thereof,
made in conjunction with each other by a taxable person for a single price where such supply does not
constitute a composite supply [Section 2(74) of the CGST Act, 2017].

The various intermediary and ancillary services provided by GTA are not provided as independent services
but as ancillary to the principal service, namely, transportation of goods by road. The invoice issued by the
GTA for providing the said service includes the value of intermediary and ancillary services. In view of this,
if any intermediary and ancillary service is provided in relation to transportation of goods by road, and
charges, if any, for such services are included in the invoice issued by Sharma Carriers, such service would
form part of the GTA service, and thus will be composite supply, and not a mixed supply even though a
single price is charged for the supply.

Further, if such incidental services are provided as separate services and are billed separately, whether in
the same invoice or separate invoices, they will be treated as separate supply and not composite supply
and there being no single price, the supply will also not be treated as mixed supply.

18. With the help of information given below in respect of a manufacturer for the month of September,

19. A registered supplier of taxable goods supplied goods valued at ` 2,24,000 (inclusive of CGST ` 12,000
and SGST ` 12,000) to Mohan Ltd. under the forward charge on 15-08-20XX for which tax invoice was
also issued on the same date. The inputs were received by Mohan Ltd. on 15-08-20XX. Mohan Ltd.
availed credit of ` 24,000 on 18-08-20XX. But Mohan Ltd. did not make any payment towards such
supply along with tax thereon to the supplier. Is Mohan Ltd. eligible to avail input tax credit on such
supply? What are the consequences of such non-payment by Mohan Ltd.?

Discuss input tax credit provisions if Mohan Ltd. makes the payment of ` 2,24,000 to the supplier on
18-03-2019.

Answer
As per section 16 of the CGST Act, 2017, Mohan Ltd. is eligible to avail input tax credit (ITC) of the tax paid
on inputs received by it on the basis of the invoice issued by the supplier provided other conditions for
availing ITC are fulfilled.

Payment of value of the goods along with the tax to the supplier is not a pre-requisite at the time of availing
credit, but Mohan Ltd. has to pay the said amount within 180 days from the date of issue of invoice.

If Mohan Ltd. did not make any payment towards such supply along with tax thereon to the supplier, it has
to report the fact of non-payment in the return for the month immediately following the period of 180 days
from the date of the issue of the invoice. When such report is made, ITC of ` 24,000 will be added to his
output tax liability. Mohan Ltd will be required discharge this liability with interest @ 18% p.a. from the date
of availing credit till the date when the amount added to the output tax liability [Second proviso to section
16(2) of the CGST Act, 2017 read with rule 37 of the CGST Rules, 2017].

If Mohan Ltd. makes the payment of ` 2,24,000 (Value + tax) to the supplier on 18.03.20XY i.e., after the
expiry of 180 days from date of issue of invoice, Mohan Ltd. will have to report the default in the monthly
report, add the amount of ITC to his output tax liability and when the payment is made to the supplier, take
the credit of ` 24,000. The output tax liability added will have to paid with interest @18% for the period from
the date of availment of credit till the date of addition of the amount to the output tax liability.

20. A makes intra-State supply of goods valued at ` 50,000 to B within State of Karnatake. B makes inter-
State supply to X Ltd. (located in Telangana) after adding 10% as its margin. Thereafter, X Ltd. sells it
to Y in Telangana (Intra-State sale) after adding 10% as his margin.
Assume that the rate of GST chargeable is 18% (CGST 9% plus SGST 9%) and IGST chargeable is
18%. Calculate tax payable at each stage of the transactions detailed above. Wherever input tax
credit is available and can be utilized, calculate the net tax payable in cash. At each stage of the
transaction, indicate which Government will receive the tax paid and to what extent.

Answer
I. Intra-State supply of goods by A to B
`
Value charged for supply of goods 50,000
Add: CGST @ 9% 4,500
Add: SGST @ 9% 4,500
Total price charged by A from B 59,000
A is the first stage supplier of goods and hence, does not have credit of CGST, SGST or IGST. Thus, the
entire CGST (` 4,500) & SGST (` 4,500) charged will be paid in cash by A to the Central Government and
Karnataka Government respectively.
II. Inter-State supply of goods by B to X Ltd. - Margin @ 10%
`
Value charged for supply of goods (` 50,000 x 110%) 55,000
Add: IGST @ 18% 9,900
Total price charged by B from X Ltd. 64,900
* It has been logically presumed that 10% margin is on the value of goods (exclusive of taxes).

Computation of IGST payable by B to Central Government in cash


`
IGST payable 9,900
Less: Credit of CGST 4,500
Less: Credit of SGST 4,500
IGST payable to Central Government in cash 900
Credit of CGST and SGST can be used to pay IGST [Section 49(5) of the CGST Act, 2017]. Karnataka
Government will transfer SGST credit of ` 4,500 utilised in the payment of IGST to the Central Government.
III. Intra-State supply of goods by X Ltd. to Y

Credit of IGST can be used to pay IGST First & then CGST and SGST in any order [Section 49(5) of
the CGST Act, 2017 read with Rule 88A]. Central Government will transfer IGST of ` 4,455 utilised in the

21. M/s. Ranveer Industries, registered in Himachal Pradesh, is engaged in making inter-State supplies of
readymade garments. The aggregate turnover of M/s. Ranveer Industries in the financial year 2019-20
is ` 70 lakh. It opted for composition levy in the year 2020-21 and paid tax for the quarter ending
September, 2020 under composition levy.
The proper officer has levied penalty for wrongly availing the scheme on M/s. Ranveer Industries in
addition to the tax payable by it. Examine the validity of the action taken by proper officer.

Answer
As per section 10(1) of the CGST Act, 2017, a registered person, whose aggregate turnover in the
preceding financial year did not exceed ` 1.5 crore in a State/UT [` 75 lakh in case of Special Category
States except Jammu and Kashmir, Assam & HP], may opt for composition scheme.

However, he shall not be eligible to opt for composition scheme if, inter alia, he is engaged in making any
inter-State outward supplies of goods.

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC O.16
In the given case, since M/s Ranveer Industries is engaged in making inter-State supplies of readymade
garments, it is not eligible to opt for composition scheme in FY 2019-20 irrespective of its turnover in the
preceding FY.

Further, if the proper officer has reasons to believe that a taxable person has paid tax under composition
scheme despite not being eligible, such person shall, in addition to any tax payable, be liable to a penalty.
Thus, the action taken by the proper officer of levying the penalty for wrongly availing the composition
scheme is valid in law.

22. Mr. Anand Kumar, a regular taxpayer, filed his return of outward supply (GSTR-1) for the month of
August, 2020 before the due date. Later on, in February, 2021 he discovered error in the GSTR-1
return of August 2020 already filed and wants to revise it. You are required to advise him as to the
future course of action to be taken by him according to statutory provisions.

Answer
The mechanism of filing revised return for any correction of errors/omission is not available under GST. The
rectification of errors/omission is allowed in the subsequent returns.

Therefore, Mr. Anand Kumar who discovered an error in GSTR-1 for August, 2020, cannot revise it.
However, he should rectify said error in the GSTR -1 filed for February, 2021 and should pay the tax and
interest, if any, in case there is short payment, in the return to be furnished for February, 2021. The error
can be rectified by furnishing appropriate particulars in the “Amendment Tables” contained in
GSTR -1.
However, as per section 37(3) of the CGST Act, 2017, no rectification of details furnished in GSTR-1
shall be allowed after:
(i) filing of monthly return/ GSTR-3B for the month of September following the end of the financial year to
which such details pertain or
(ii) filing of the relevant annual return whichever is earlier.

29. Rahul Agri Millers Ltd., located in Haryana, is engaged in customs milling of paddy into rice. It does
not pay GST on the same as it is of the view that the process of milling of paddy into rice is exempt
under GST since is an intermediate production process in relation to cultivation of plants. However,
Department demands tax on said activity contending that it is not eligible for said exemption. You are
required to determine the veracity of the Department's contention.

Solution:
Yes, the contention of the Department is correct. As per Notification NO. 12/2017 CT (R) dated 28.06.2017,
carrying out an intermediate production process as job work in relation to cultivation of plants and rearing of
all life forms of animals, except the rearing of horses, for food, fibre, fuel, raw material or other similar
products or agricultural produce is exempt under GST.

Milling of paddy is not an intermediate production process in relation to cultivation of plants. It is a process
carried out after the process of cultivation is over and paddy has been harvested. Further, processing of
paddy into rice is not usually carried out by cultivators, but by rice millers. Milling of paddy into rice also
changes its essential characteristics.

Therefore, milling of paddy into rice cannot be considered as an intermediate production process in relation
to cultivation of plants for food, fibre or other similar products or agricultural produce. In view of the above, it
is clarified by CBIC that milling of paddy into rice is not eligible for exemption under said notification. Thus,
GST is payable on the said activity.

10. “Wedding Bells”, a wedding photographer, has commenced providing pre-wedding shoot services in
Jaipur from the beginning of current financial year 2020-2021. It has provided the following details
of turnover for the various quarters till December, 2020 :-

S. No. Quarter Amount


(₹ in lakh)
1 April, 2020 - June,2020 20
2 July, 2020 - September, 2020 30
3 October, 2020 - December, 2020 40

You may assume the applicable tax rate as 18%. Wedding Bells wishes to pay tax at a lower rate
and opts for the composition scheme. You are required to advise whether it can do so and calculate
the amount of tax payable for each quarter?

Solution:
Section 10(2A) of the CGST Act, 2017 provides the turnover limit of ₹ 50 lakh in the preceding financial year
for becoming eligible for composition levy for services. Wedding Bells has started the supply of services in
the current financial year (FY), thus, it’s aggregate turnover in the preceding FY is Nil. Consequently, in
the current FY, Wedding Bells is eligible for composition scheme for services. A registered person opting
for composition levy for services shall pay tax @ 3% [Effective rate 6% (CGST+ SGST/UTGST)] of the
turnover of supplies of goods and services in the State.

Further, Wedding Bells becomes eligible for the registration when the aggregate turnover exceeds ₹ 20 lakh
(the threshold limit of obtaining registration). While registering under GST, Wedding Bells can opt for
composition scheme for services.

The option of a registered person to avail composition scheme for services shall lapse with effect from the
day on which his aggregate turnover during a financial year exceeds the threshold limit of ₹50 lakh.

However, for the purposes of determining the tax payable under composition scheme, the expression
“turnover in State” shall not include the value of supplies from the first day of April of a FY up to the date
when such person becomes liable for registration under this Act.

Thus, for determining the turnover of the State for payment of tax under composition scheme for services,
turnover of April, 2020 – June, 2020 quarter [₹ 20 lakh] shall be excluded. On next ₹ 30 lakh [turnover of
July, 2020 – September, 2020 quarter], it shall pay tax @ 6% [3% CGST and 3% SGST].

For the purposes of computing aggregate turnover of a registered person for determining his eligibility to
pay tax under this section, aggregate turnover includes value of supplies from the 1st April of a FY up to the
date of his becoming liable for registration.

Thus, while computing aggregate turnover for determining Wedding Bells’s eligibility to pay tax under
composition scheme, value of supplies from the first day of April of a financial year up to the date when it
becomes liable for registration under this Act (i.e. turnover of April, 2020 – June, 2020 quarter), are
included.

By the end of July, 2020 – September, 2020 quarter, the aggregate turnover reaches ₹ 50 lakh.
Consequently, the option to avail composition scheme for services shall lapse by the end of July, 2020 –
September, 2020 quarter and thereafter, it is required to pay tax at the normal rate of 18%.

Considering the above provisions, the tax payable for each quarter is as under:-
S. Quarter GST rate Turnover GST payable
No. [CGST + SGST] (₹ in lakh) (₹ in lakh)
1 April, 2020 – June, 2020 - 20 -
2 July, 2020 – September, 2020 6% 30 1.8
3 October, 2020 – December, 2020 18% 40 7.2

11. Mr. Priyam, director of Sun Moon Company Private Limited, provided service to the company for
remuneration of ₹ 1,25,000. Briefly answer whether GST is applicable in the below mentioned
independent cases? If yes, who is liable to pay GST?
(i) Mr. Priyam is an independent director of Sun Moon Company Private Limited and not an
employee of the company.
(ii) Mr. Priyam is an executive director, i.e. an employee of Sun Moon Company Private Limited. Out
of total remuneration amounting to ₹ 1,25,000, ₹ 60,000 has been declared as salaries in the
books of Sun Moon Company Private Limited and subjected to TDS under section 192 of the
Income-Tax Act (IT Act). However, ₹ 65,000 has been declared separately other than salaries in
the Sun Moon Company Private Limited’s accounts and subjected to TDS under section 194J
of the IT Act as professional services.

Solution:
(i) As per Para I of Schedule III of the CGST Act, services by an employee to the employer in the course of
or in relation to his employment are non-supplies, i.e. they are neither supply of goods nor supply of
services. Services provided by the independent directors who are not employees of the said company
to such company, in lieu of remuneration as the consideration for the said services, are clearly outside
the scope of Schedule III of the CGST Act and are therefore taxable. Further, such remuneration paid
to the directors is taxable in hands of the company, on reverse charge basis.

Thus, GST is applicable in this case and Sun Moon Company Private Limited is liable to pay GST.

(ii) The part of director’s remuneration which is declared as salaries in the books of a company and
subjected to TDS under section 192 of the Income-tax Act (IT Act), is not taxable being consideration
for services by an employee to the employer in the course of or in relation to his employment in terms of
Schedule III.

Further, the part of employee director’s remuneration which is declared separately other than salaries in
the company’s accounts and subjected to TDS under section 194J of the IT Act as fees for
professional or technical services are treated as consideration for providing services which are
outside the scope of Schedule III and is therefore, taxable. The recipient of the said services i.e. the
company, is liable to discharge the applicable GST on it on reverse charge basis.

In lieu of the above provisions, ₹ 60,000 declared as salaries in the books of Sun Moon Company
Private Limited and subjected to TDS under section 192 of the Income-Tax Act (IT Act), is not
taxable being consideration for services by an employee to the employer in the course of or in relation
to his employment in terms of Schedule III.

Further, ₹ 65,000 declared separately other than salaries in the Sun Moon Company Private Limited’s
accounts and subjected to TDS under section 194J of the IT Act as professional services is treated as
consideration for providing services which is outside the scope of Schedule III and is therefore,
taxable. The recipient of the said services i.e. the Sun Moon Company Private Limited, is liable to
discharge the applicable GST on it on reverse charge basis.

(a) Miss Kashi is a registered intra-State supplier of goods in Haryana. During the months of August
and September, she was out of station on a religious pilgrimage with her family for 55 days.
Thus, no business transaction was made during August. Miss Kashi is of the opinion that as
there is no transaction, there is no need to file monthly return [GSTR-3B] for the month of
August. However, her tax consultant has advised her to file nil GSTR-3B. Whether the advice
given by tax consultant is correct? Explain.

(b) Will your answer in (a) change, if Miss Kashi has placed an order for some purchases during
August over her mobile phone, which has been received in her premises and she intends to
take input tax credit on the same?

(c) Assuming in (a) above, Miss Kashi does not have internet facility in her mobile and there is no
facilitation centre notified by the Commissioner, whether no return is required to be filed in the
absence of means to file return? Explain.

SURAJ AGRAWAL TAX CLASS | NEW DELHI | +91 85272 30445


GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC P.5
Solution:
(a) The advice given by tax consultant is correct.
Under GST law, filing of GSTR-3B is mandatory for all normal and casual taxpayers, even if there is no
business activity in any particular tax period. For such tax period(s), a Nil GSTR-3B is required to be
filed.
Therefore, in the given case, even though Miss Kashi was out of station on a religious pilgrimage with her
family for 55 days and thus, could not do any business transaction during the month of August, she is still
required to file Nil GSTR-3B for that month.

(b) Nil GSTR-3B means that the return has nil or no entry in all its Tables. Since in the present case,
Miss Kashi has received certain purchases, she cannot file Nil GSTR-3B, as the said purchases will
need to be disclosed in the “Table for Eligible ITC” in GSTR-3B.
Thus, Miss Kashi is required to file monthly return, GSTR-3B for the month of August.

(c) GSTR-3B can be submitted electronically on the common portal, either directly or through a
Facilitation Centre notified by the Commissioner. Further, a Nil GSTR-3B can be filed through an SMS
using the registered mobile number of the taxpayer.

Thus, Miss Kashi is required to file Nil GSTR-3B for the month of August through an SMS using her
registered mobile number even though there is no internet facility in her mobile and no Facilitation Centre
notified by the Commissioner.

13. [Based on Amendments] Bali Limited, a registered taxpayer, provides security services to registered
persons from Mumbai office and Delhi office. The aggregate turnover of Mumbai office and Delhi
office in the preceding financial year is ₹ 300 crore and ₹ 250 crore respectively. For the month of
November in the current financial year, Bali Limited prepares duplicate invoices and does not issue e-
invoice as it is of the view that it’s aggregate turnover does not cross the threshold limit to make it
liable for issuing e- invoices.

Briefly explain whether the view taken by Bali Limited is correct in law? Also explain the
advantages of e-invoicing, if any.

Solution:
The view taken by Bali Limited is not correct in law.
All notified registered businesses (except specified class of persons) with an aggregate turnover (based on
PAN) in the preceding financial year greater than ₹ 500 crore are required to issue e-invoices.

The eligibility is based on aggregate annual turnover on the common PAN. Thus, the aggregate total turnover
of Bali Limited is more than ₹ 500 crores (considering both the GSTINs) and is required to issue e-invoices.

Further, where e-invoicing is applicable, there is no need of issuing invoice copies in triplicate/duplicate.

E-invoice has many advantages for businesses, which have been given as under:-
(i) Auto-reporting of invoices into GST return and auto-generation of e-way bill (wherever
required). Under e-invoicing, business has to report the B2B invoice data only once in the e-invoice form
and the same is reported in multiple forms (GSTR-1, e-way bill etc.). E-way bill can be auto-generated
using e- invoice data. GSTR-1 can also be auto-populated with the e-invoice data. It will become part of
the business process of the taxpayer.

(ii) Accuracy/Reconciliation. Since same data is reported to tax department as well as to the buyer to
prepare his inward supplies (purchase) register, transcription errors are reduced. On receipt of
information through GST System, buyer can do reconciliation with his Purchase Order.

(iii) Early payment. E-invoicing facilitates standardisation and inter-operability leading to reduction of
disputes among transacting parties and thus, improving payment cycles.

(iv) Cost reduction. E-invoicing helps in reducing processing costs and thus, leads to improvement of
overall business efficiency.

(v) Reduction of tax evasion. Since a complete trail of B2B invoices is available with the Department, it
will enable the system-level matching of input tax credit and output tax thereby reducing the tax evasion.

GST By CA Suraj Agrawal SATC P.6
(vi) Elimination of fake invoices. E-invoicing eliminates the fake invoices. Claiming fictitious input tax
credit (ITC) by raising fake invoices is also one of the biggest challenges currently faced by tax-
authorities. The e-invoice system helps to curb the actions of unscrupulous taxpayers and reduce the
number of fraud cases as the tax authorities have access to data in real-time.

(vii)Paper Elimination. E-invoicing helps in paper elimination and thereby it is eco- friendly.

Notes:
1. ITC in respect of the invoices whose details have not been uploaded by the suppliers shall not exceed
10% of the eligible input tax credit available to the recipient in respect of invoices or debit notes the
details of which have been uploaded by the suppliers under section 37(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 as
on the due date of filing of the returns in Form GSTR-1 of the suppliers for the said tax period.
The taxpayer can ascertain the same from his auto populated Form GSTR 2A as available on the
due date of filing of Form GSTR-1 under section 37(1) [Rule 36(4) of the CGST Rules, 2017].

2. 100% ITC can be availed on invoices uploaded by the suppliers in their Form GSTR-1. However,
section 17(5) of the CGST Act, 2017 blocks ITC on motor vehicles for transportation of persons having
approved seating capacity of not more than 13 persons if they are not used for making the following
taxable supplies, namely:—
(A) further supply of such motor vehicles; or
(B) transportation of passengers; or
(C) imparting training on driving such motor vehicles
Since Sunshine Pvt. Ltd. is not using the car for any of the aforesaid mentioned purpose, ITC thereon will
not be available.

Thus, 100% ITC will be available in respect of invoices at S. Nos. 1, 2 & 3.

3. In respect of invoices at S. Nos. 5, 6 7 and 8 not uploaded in Form GSTR-1s, the ITC has been
restricted to 10% of eligible ITC in respect of invoices uploaded in Form GSTR-1s, i.e. 10% of ₹ 4,80,000
in terms of rule 36(4) of the CGST Rules, 2017.

4. The restriction of availment of ITC is imposed only in respect of those invoices, details of which are
required to be uploaded by the suppliers under section 37(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 and which have not
been uploaded. Therefore, full ITC can be availed in respect of IGST paid on imports which are outside
the ambit of section 37(1) [
