27 July 2024 The GST rate applicable to housekeeping services can vary based on several factors, including whether the services are provided to a government entity like a PSU (Public Sector Undertaking) and whether the services are provided online or offline.

### GST Rate on Housekeeping Services

1. **Standard Rate**:
- The standard GST rate on housekeeping services is generally **18%**. This rate applies unless a specific exemption or concessional rate is available for the service in question.

2. **Services to PSU**:
- For housekeeping services provided to a PSU, the applicable GST rate remains **18%**. PSUs are generally treated as regular entities for GST purposes, and the standard rate applies unless there is a specific exemption or reduction for government-related services, which is less common for housekeeping.

3. **Offline vs. Online**:
- The GST rate does not typically change based on whether the service is provided online or offline. Housekeeping services are usually considered to be a form of "service" under the GST framework, and the mode of service delivery (offline or online) does not impact the GST rate for such services. Therefore, the rate would still be **18%**.

### Additional Considerations

- **Exemptions and Special Cases**: In some cases, specific exemptions or lower rates might apply based on the nature of the services or the status of the recipient. It is important to verify if there are any recent changes in GST laws or notifications that might affect the applicable rate.

- **Reverse Charge Mechanism**: For certain services provided to government entities, the reverse charge mechanism might apply. In such cases, the recipient of the service (PSU) is responsible for paying the GST directly to the government instead of the service provider.

### Recommendation

To ensure compliance and to get the most accurate and updated information, it is advisable to consult the latest GST notifications or seek guidance from a tax professional or accountant familiar with GST regulations.
