We render inspection services to foreign companies for foreign flag vessel in Indian Port.
The Foreign Company is based in Foreign and the Place of supply of the service is on the Vessel (Foreign Entity) in Indian Port.
The invoice is raised to the foreign entity and money is received from foreign in USD.
IS this exempted from GST (services) and under which clause?
Guidance is solicited from all.

Inspection service has been supplied in Indian territory and the same is consumed in India. Territory matters a lot.

Sir, I do agree with your point of view, but I only mean to say that If proper clarification like first point of departure and services crossed the customs frontier, amount received in foreign exchange, all together can be summed up for putting up the strong case for exemption. Please correct me, if mistaken

Dear Alkesh,
Don't you find the difference between the phrases, "Inspection of vessel' and "Services on board" (service on vessel) ?
