GST exemption granted for NSQF-aligned training under SI No. 69, excluding optional value-added services
Case-Laws
GST
The AAR held that the applicant's training services on repair and maintenance of handheld electronic devices, accredited under an MoU with TSSC and aligned with an NCVET-approved NSQF qualification package, qualify for GST exemption under SI No. 69 of Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) effective from 14 November 2024. These services fall under SAC 999294 (Other education and training services n.e.c.) and are distinct from generic commercial coaching. However, optional value-added services such as placement assistance, an entrepreneurship course, and proprietary certification offered independently of the core NSQF-aligned program are not exempt and remain taxable. The exemption strictly applies only to training services linked to an NSQF-aligned qualification with an approved package by NCVET, thereby excluding ancillary services provided for additional fees outside the sanctioned vocational training framework.
