Addresses 90th Anniversary Celebration of Andhra Chamber of Commerce
The Vice President of India, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu has said that reformative measures like the introduction of GST will improve the economy. He was addressing the 90th anniversary celebration of Andhra Chamber of Commerce, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu today. The Governor of Tamil Nadu, Shri Banwarilal Purohit and the Minister for Fisheries, Personnel and Administrative Reforms, Tamil Nadu, Shri D. Jayakumar were present on the occasion.
Following is the text of Vice President address:

like the introduction of GST will improve the economy in the long run, although there might be some teething problems in the initial stages of implementation. In the end, such reforms will also benefit the consumers.
With various measures taken by the government to step up economic growth, including FDI in various sectors and given the strong macro-economic fundamentals, India will continue to grow steadily. “The economic activity”, according to the 'Country Snapshot' published by the World Bank, “is expected to stabilize, maintaining annual GDP growth at 7 % in the year 2018”. The report goes on to say, “Growth is projected to increase to 7.4% by Fiscal year 2020, underpinned by a recovery in private investments prompted by a recent increase in public capex and an improvement in the investment climate (partly due to the passage of the GST and the bankruptcy code and the measures to attract FDI)”.

Students are angry because they failed due to your strictness, teachers are angry because their track record got spoiled because of your, trustees of the college are angry because the result of their college has taken a beating under your charge. That is what happening in India right now.
Women's empowerment is one of the key parameters for the progress of any nation or society. I am happy that Andhra Chamber of Commerce led by Mrs. Indira Dutt, has set up Women's Business Forum to impart training to women students and employees to enable them become entrepreneurs. It is a laudable initiative. I hope the training is not confined to Chennai alone and will be conducted all over the State. The Chamber must identify a few leading industries in each district and tie-up with them for imparting training to women students and employees.

GST on Education Services
“Education” is not defined in the CGST Act but as per Apex Court decision in “Loka Shikshana Trust v/s CIT” = 1975 (8) TMI 1 – SUPREME COURT, education is process of training and developing knowledge, skill and character of students by normal schooling.
Taxing the Education Sector has always been a sensitive issue, as education is seen more as a social activity than a business one. The government has a constitutional obligation to provide free and compulsory elementary education to every child. Thus, to promote education, it would be beneficial if educational services are exempted from tax. However, commercialisation of education is also a reality. The distinction between core and ancillary education is blurring and education is now an organised industry with huge revenues. The GST Act tries to maintain a fine balance whereby core educational s

education as a part of curriculum for obtaining a qualification recognised by any law for the time being in force. This is an area where doubts have persisted as to what would be the meaning of “education as part of curriculum for obtaining qualification recognised by law”. GST on services being a legacy carried forward from the Service Tax regime, the explanation given in the Education guide of 2012 can be gainfully referred to understand the meaning of the term which reads as under;
What is the meaning of 'education as a part of curriculum for obtaining a qualification recognized by law'?
It means that only such educational services are in the negative list as are related to delivery of education as 'a part' of the curriculum that has been prescribed for obtaining a qualification prescribed by law. It is important to understand that to be in the negative list the service should be delivered as part of curriculum. Conduct of degree courses by colleges, universities or institutions

(ii) a Modular Employable Skill Course, approved by the National Council of Vocational Training, run by a person registered with the Directorate General of Training, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.
It is to be noted that only those institutions whose operations conform to the specifics given in the definition of the term “Educational Institution”, would be treated as one and entitled to avail exemptions provided by the law. This would mean that private coaching centres or other unrecognized institutions, though self-styled as educational institutions, would not be treated as educational institutions under GST and thus cannot avail exemptions available to an educational institution.
Thus, educational institutions up to Higher Secondary School level do not

s, it may be noted that where output services are exempted, the Educational institutions may not be able to avail credit of tax paid on the input side. The four categories of services known as Auxiliary Education services, which educational institutions ordinarily carry out themselves but may obtain as outsourced services from any other person, have been exempted (as per Notification No. 12/2017- Central Tax (Rate)). Auxiliary education services other than what is specified above would not be entitled to any exemption. The exemption also comes with a rider. Such services are exempt only for educational institutions providing services by way of education up to higher secondary or equivalent. (from pre-school to HSC).
Thus if such auxiliary education services are provided to educational institutions providing degree or higher education, the same would not be exempt. For instance, the services of conducting admission tests for admission to colleges in case of educational institutions are

ovide service of education coupled with other services like providing dwelling units for residence and food. This may be a case of bundled services if the charges for education and lodging and boarding are inseparable. Their taxability will be determined in terms of the principles laid down in section 2(30) read with section 8 of the CGST Act, 2017. Such services in the case of boarding schools are naturally bundled and supplied in the ordinary course of business. Therefore, the bundle of services will be treated as consisting entirely of the principal supply, which means the service which forms the predominant element of such a bundle. In this case since the predominant nature is determined by the service of education, the other service of providing residential dwelling will not be considered for the purpose of determining the tax liability and in this case the entire consideration for the supply will be exempt.

One relevant consideration in such cases will be the amount of extra billing being done for the unrecognized component viz-a-viz the recognized course. If extra billing is being done, it may be a case of artificial bundling of two different supplies, not supplied together in the ordinary course of business, and therefore will be treated as a mixed supply, attracting the rate of the higher taxed component for the entire consideration.
The Education guide of 2012 for the purpose of service tax has given the following important clarifications in respect of educational services. The same can be gainfully referred to, for the purpose of clarity under the GST regime:

* Electronic Way Bill (E-Way Bill) is basically a compliance mechanism wherein by way of a digital interface the person causing the movement of goods uploads the relevant information prior to the commencement of movement of goods and generates e-way bill on the GST portal.
* Rule 138 of the CGST Rules, 2017 provides for the e-way bill mechanism and in this context it is important to note that “information is to be furnished prior to the commencement of movement of goods” and “is to be issued whether the movement is in relation to a supply or for reasons other than supply”.

GST- meaning of ‘services’ seems very restricted due to primary meaning being ‘anything’

GST- meaning of ‘services’ seems very restricted due to primary meaning being ‘anything’
By: – DEVKUMAR KOTHARI
Goods and Services Tax – GST
Dated:- 17-10-2017

Relevant laws:
THE CENTRAL GOODS AND SERVICES TAX ACT, 2017. In short CGST
THE INTEGRATED GOODS AND SERVICES TAX ACT, 2017. In short IGST
THE UNION TERRITORY GOODS AND SERVICES TAX ACT, 2017. In short UTGST
On reading of provisions relating to charge of GST and exemption it appears that 'supply' is basis and supply includes supply of goods and services both. Supplier is a taxable entity. The terms and expression “services” has been given a definite meaning. Therefore, any service to be part of 'supply' must be a service as per meaning given for it.
Common definition or meaning of “services”:
We find that definition of “services” is provided only in CGST and not in IGST, UTGST. Therefore, meaning of services as per CGST is applicable in IGST, UTGST.
We also find that few specific services have been

ration is charged;
Analysis:
Although the definition clause starts with standard opening words 'unless the context otherwise requires' .. , however in relation to services we find that:
a. A definite meaning has been given by use of word 'means'
b. Service means 'anything' this means that it should be a thing.
* A service is generallynot a thing it is also not an article or thing live or dead, movable or immovable etc.
c. Thing should be other than goods, money and securities.
d. but includes activities relating to :
the use of money
conversion of money by cash or by any other mode,
conversion of money from one form, currency or denomination, to another form,
currency or denomination
for which a separate consideration is charged;
Author feels that the above meaning of services is very defective and can be fatal to valid levy of tax on most of services under regime of GST.
This is because we find that primary meaning is that it should be 'anything', then certain thi

Unquote
On reading of above definitions it is clear that 'thing' or 'anything' and a service are entirely different. Even in use as a residual item, like for which specific name is not given or found in use, a service cannot be called 'anything', in case of service it can be 'any service' or 'any activity'.
Loose or wrong use of word thing or anything in context of services in common conversations by people, cannot be a guide to say that a service shall fall within residuary item 'anything'. A service must be an activity and not a thing.
For example:
A. In case of education books and copies are things whereas teaching is not a thing but an activity.
B. In case of doctor, prescribing medicines is an activity or a service but supplying medicines is supply of things.
C. A verbal opinion of an Advocate cannot be called a thing but a service.

uch a notice is received from the GST department, it is advisable for the taxpayer to immediately file any pending GST returns.
