Charges for deposit works deemed incidental to transmission, qualifying for exemption under Entry 25A of Notification 12/2017
Case-Laws
GST
The AAR upheld that charges recovered by the applicant from consumers for deposit work (material and erection charges, pro-rata charges, supervision charges, proportionate line charges, registration fees) constitute incidental and ancillary activities to the principal supply of transmission of electricity. Relying on dictionary definitions and prior SC authority recognizing services as incidental when subordinate or appertaining to a primary activity, the AAR found these deposit works necessary for efficient intra-state transmission and thus integrally connected to the applicant's statutory transmission function. Consequentially, such charges qualify for exemption under Entry No. 25A of Notification No.12/2017 as amended by the later notification.
