When invoice is not issued , liability arises from the due date of payment as per schedule in Prospectus. You will have to pay GST for full month of September. Regarding further guidelines for October onwards, you may contact your jurisdictional Range Officer and give in writing about factual position. You may get relaxation as when no consideration is likely to be received and no service is to be supplied , GST for what and on what grounds.

, 17 you will have to prove this and intimate the department about the factual position. Then you can avoid paying GST for September, 17 ( up to 18.9.17). If you do not intimate about non receipt of consideration to the department you will have to pay GST. So to be on safer side, intimate the department. Also intimate there is no chance for recovery from the students as they have left.

re the total value of such supply, under a contract, exceeds two lakh and fifty thousand rupees:
Provided that no deduction shall be made if the location of the supplier and the place of supply is in a State or Union territory which is different from the State or as the case may be, Union territory of registration of the recipient."
Are you falling under any of categories enumerated at (a) (b) (c) and (d) above? Then only you have to deduct TDS from the amount payable to the service provider.
You say the service provider is unregistered. In that case you have to pay the tax under reverse charge mechanism under Section 9 (3) or 9(4) of CGST Act, 2017. This is my opinion.

How to generate new E-way bill online under GST???

Goods and Services Tax – GST

Introduction: In this article we shall be discussing about how to generate new E-way bill online under GST
Welcome to new E-way BILL SYSTEM, a system for hassle free movement of goods throughout the Country with one E-way Bill.
Now all the taxpayers, transporter and related stakeholders who are responsible for the movement of goods from one state to another, can take a sigh of relief. This is because, for any movement of goods across India, the taxpayers can generate a single e-way bill online through a portal called gst.kar.nic.in.
With this single E-way bill, the goods can be transported from one state to another without any hindrance.
What is gst.kar.nic.in/ewaybill?
Gst.kar.nic.in is the central tax website link from where the supplier, receiver or transporter can generate ewaybill for the movement of goods across India. In other words, if

Here, the tax payer has to enter his GSTIN and on validation, the system shows him his GSTIN details and request for send OTP.
The OTP will be sent to the tax payer's registered mobile number.
After entry and validation of OTP, username and password, the system creates the username and password for the tax payer.
