Under Service Tax, this mechanism is called Bundled Service – which is the rendering of a service or services with another element of service of services. The service tax law was dealing with pure services and not with goods per se. Now the concept introduced is for goods also and is linked with the concept of Principal Supply. Under GST law, supplies which are bundled with two or more supplies of goods or services or combination of goods and services are classified, with distinct characteristics, as: (i) Composite Supply (ii) Mixed Supply If we look at the definitions (supra), Composite supply is one where two or more goods or services or both are supplied together, in a natural bundle and in a normal course of business, provided one of which is a principal supply. However, principal supply will be that supply which is predominant over other supplies. This means that the goods and services are bundled owing to natural necessities.

which is required to be submitted by the principal supplying goods to the job worker on a quarterly basis. The applicant would be disclosing the value of tax invoices raised in respect of supply of job work services as taxable supplies in GSTR-1 as well as GSTR-3B. Job work is defined under Section 2(68) of GST Law as any treatment or process undertaken by a person on goods belonging to another registered taxable person. The word goods means every kind of movable property other than money and securities. The essential requirement to be fulfilled to establish a transaction as job work is the treatment or process undertaken on the goods belonging to another. Section 143 of GST Law explain the procedure to be followed in the case of job work transaction.

ly includes the words, manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others. The term manufacture defined under Section 2(72) of GST Law as processing of raw material or inputs in any manner resulting in emergence of a new product having distinct name, character and use. The inputs received by the applicant send back to the principal as industrial gases, which have a distinct name, character and use as compared to the inputs. In Eaton Fluid Power Ltd case it has specifically observed that a job work may or may not amount to manufacture, and just because activities undertaken result in a new commodity, it cannot be said that there was no job work involved. In the case of JSW Energy Ltd, Maharashtra Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling observed that job work may include manufacture or bringing into existence a new distinct product. Hence the definition of job work under the GST Act is much wider compared to the pre-GST regime. Therefore any activity whether amounting to manufactur

any treatment or process undertaken by a person on goods belonging to another registered taxable person. As for as a job worker is concerned, statute does not specify any restriction that the inputs subject to the treatment or process shall be taxable goods. Therefore, irrespective of whether the goods received by the applicant are taxable or not, job work activity should be allowed to be carried out on such activity. The principal is a taxable person under GST Law. The ownership of all the inputs as well as the output are vested with the principal. These inputs and out puts are used in the course or furtherance of business of manufacture of petroleum products. Under GST regime inputs have wider meaning, as such the goods sent by the principal such as natural gas, de-mineralized water raw water etc should fall under the definition of inputs as the same being indirectly used for ultimate manufacturing of petroleum products.

process. The application of minor items by the job worker would not detract it being a job work. Therefore the processing undertaken by the applicant on the goods belong to the principal, another registered person qualifies as job work even if it amounts to manufacture. Therefore the activity carried out by the applicant of processing natural gas and other inputs received from BPCL on free of cost basis and manufacturing industrial gases shall fall under the scope of job work under GST.

Patients are only admitted to a hospital when they are extremely ill or have severe physical trauma. As far as an inpatient is concerned, hospital is expected to provide lodging, care, medicine and food as part of treatment under supervision till discharge from the hospital.

Whereas an outpatient is concerned, hospital gives only prescription, which is an advisory in nature. The patient has absolute freedom to follow the prescription or not. Similarly there is freedom to procure the medicines or allied items prescribed, either from the pharmacy run by the hospital or from any other medicine dispensing outlets. Hospital reserves no control over his continuous treatment. As far as an outpatient is concerned there is no difference for procuring medicine either from the dispensing outlet within the hospital or from outside the hospital. In both places medicines dispensed based on prescription. Hence there is no privilege for the hospitals that are dispensing medicine to outpatients. Therefore pharmacy run by hospital dispensing medicine to outpatient or bye standers or others can be treated as individual supply of medicine and not

2018 (10) TMI 1617 – BOMBAY HIGH COURT – 2018 (19) G. S. T. L. 416 (Bom.) – Input tax credit – transitional credit – transition to GST Regime – distribution of input credit amongst its branch offices/locations which have separate registration under the Act – Section 140(8) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 – Held that:- The Petitioners are entitled to distribute the Input Credit available with it as on 1st July 2017 amongst its branches/locations. This distribution has not been possible on account of technical problems of the Respondents. Further the availment of input tax credit available on 1st July 2017 has to be done on or before 20th October 2018 in view of Section 16(4) of the Act. Thus, it is likely that the Petitioners may be deprived of the facility of the input tax credit available with it on 1st July 2017, if the same is not taken before 20th October 2018.

The Respondents have extended the time to file TRANS­1 and TRANS­2, but no such extension has been

August 2017, Petitioner No. 2 transferred a part of its business i.e. Headend In The Sky (HITS) to Petitioner No. 1. However, as on 1st July 2017 there was Input Credit available to the Petitioner No. 2 from the earlier CENVAT Regime. Thus, the Petitioner No. 2 sought to carry forward its available Input Credit to the GST regime by filing TRANS­1. In its revised TRANS­1 the Petitioner No. 2 in terms of Section 140(8) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (for short the Act ) sought to distribute the Input Credit available to it amongst its branch offices/locations which have separate registration under the Act. However, due to technical difficulties, though the revised TRANS­1 was accepted, the distribution of the credit available to it among its various branches/locations is not reflected on the website. Thus, the GST credit ledger available at the various branches/locations do not reflect the credit which would be available to it on account of the distribution d

Input Credit cannot be reflected in the GST ledgerat the branches/locations. Therefore, the branches/locations are not able to utilise the Input Credit by filing the GSTR­3B. Further it is pointed out that in terms of Section 16(4) of the Act, the last date for taking the input tax credit for the financial year period ending March 2018 would be the 20th October 2018. In case the sameisnotreflectedintheFormGSTR­3Breturnthe Petitioners' location/branches would lose the benefit of the input tax credit. This position in law is not disputed by the Revenue. 4. Further our attention is drawn to the Ministry of Finance press release dated 18th October 2018 wherein it has the last date to avail all input tax credit in respect of invoices issued for the period July 2017 to March 2018 is clarified. Although the above press note does not in terms deal with and/or make reference to the Input Credit available from the CENVAT regime being transited into the present GST regime. The Revenue

who can file form GSTR­3B, nor that the provisions of Section 16(4) of the Act apply, nor dispute that the last date for filing the GSTR­3B is 20th October 2018 and not doing so would result in the lapse of the credit. 6. In fact the Petitioners location at Delhi had filed a Writ Petition in the Delhi High Court bearing Writ Petition No. C­8691 of 2008 (Indusind Media Communications Ltd. & Anr. Vs. Union of India), wherein the Petitioners at Delhi branch/location had made a grievance of not being entitled to take the transition credit i.e. the Input Credit available prior to 30th June 2017 for payment of tax post 1st July 2017. The Hon'ble Delhi High Court in its order dated 16th October 2018 in the above Petition while admitting the Petition noted the fact that the Grievance Redressal Forum of the GST Council in the Meeting held on 21st August 2018 had recorded in its minutes that the Delhi branch/location could not file its GSTR­3B and take credit in view of t

f the same is not taken before 20th October 2018. It is to be noted that the Respondents have extended the time to file TRANS­1 and TRANS­2, but no such extension has been granted to extend the time to file GSTR­3B. Thus, in the above facts, pending the final disposal of the Petition (when these issues will be considered in greater depth), as the system is not accepting it, the Petitioners would manually file with the Respondents a copy of its revised TRANS­1, ITC­01 and also GSTR­3B at Mumbai (in physical form). 8. On the basis of the revised TRANS­1, ITC­02 and the GSTR­3B at Mumbai (to be certified by the Commissioner at Mumbai), the Petitioners will be entitled to take the credit reduced at Mumbai (Maharashtra) to its locations in Delhi, Gujarat and Karnataka subject to the satisfaction of the Commissioner having jurisdiction over those locations.
