Hostel accommodation not charitable unless ≤₹20,000/month and continuous ≥90 days; leasing and catering taxable under Headings 9972 and 9963
Case-Laws
GST
AAR holds that the applicant's provision of hostel accommodation does not constitute a “charitable activity” and therefore is not GST-exempt except to the extent expressly covered by the charitable definition; accommodation priced at or below Rs.20,000 per person per month is exempt only if supplied for a continuous period of at least 90 days, and both price and duration conditions must be satisfied. Leasing of premises to another educational institution is a taxable supply of services (classified under Heading 9972) and attracts CGST 9% and SGST 9%. Catering services supplied to a recipient college imparting higher education are not covered by the educational exemption and are taxable under Heading 9963 at CGST 9% and SGST 9%.
