01 September 2022 Sir, My client is having income from sale of units of solar power generation from BESCOM, (which is installed on roof of assessee's office/factory premises). He is having around Rs.95 lakhs per year, whether this amount is taxable under GST or not. There is no mention of GST taxability in agreement between the assessee and BESCOM. Please clarify

02 September 2022 A supply of electricity is exempted vide Notification No.2/17-CT(R) dated 28.6.17 as amended (serial no.104). It is relevant to mention here that as per Section 2(23) of Electricity Act, 2003, the words, 'electricity' and 'electrical energy' convey the same meaning and message.

See serial number 104
