As per Notification No. 12/2017 – Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017:
Services by Fair Price Shops to the Central Government, State Governments, Union territories or local authorities by way of sale of food grains, kerosene, sugar, etc. under the Public Distribution System (PDS) against commission or margin are exempt from GST.
The person is receiving Rs. 1,20,000 commission from GSCSCL, which is:
A government entity.
Related to PDS operations.
Therefore, if this commission is exclusively for PDS-related work, then:
GST is not applicable on this income as it is exempt under Notification 12/2017.
Since income is exempt, there’s no need to charge GST on it.
However, since the person is registered, they will still need to file NIL GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B (monthly/quarterly as applicable) unless registration is surrendered.
