15 November 2019 Interest income does not attract GST because it is an input taxed sale
But Receipt of Interest income is your Income under the head “Income from other sources” on which you shall be required to pay Income tax if you come in the ambit.

15 November 2019 Thanks for the reply, but would interest income be added in our turnover and hence we have to leave proportionate GST ITC.
