Services to GPSSB and GPSC for recruitment and selection not exempt under GST Notification 12/2017-CT(R)
Case-Laws
GST
AAAR determined that services provided to Gujarat Panchayat Service Selection Board (GPSSB) and Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) are not exempt from GST under Notification No. 12/2017-CT(R). While interpreting exemption provisions strictly per SC precedent, AAAR found GPSSB does not qualify as Central/State Government, Union Territory or local authority under CGST Act definitions. Similarly, GPSC, despite being a constitutional body managed and financed by State Government, cannot be classified as State Government itself. Therefore, services to both entities fail to meet primary conditions for exemption under entries 3 and 3A, which specifically require services be provided to government bodies or local authorities. The appellant's claims for GST exemption were rejected.
