05 January 2023 A statutory body constituted under the Advocate Act functions as per Section 6 of Advocate Act 1961.

Income of statutory body is exempt from income tax u/s 11 of Income tax Act 1961 as per the judgment of Supreme Court Notification dated 05.08.1966 w.e.f.28.12.1961.

Service tax was also not applicable to us and GST not applicable for section 11 exempt entity.

We would like to distribute books to advocates free of charge as a study material.

There is no profit motive in distribution of books and it is internal transfer of goods to advocates.

Is GST applicable and payable by us on printing of books of study material?
