As per terms and conditions of MoU- PSU was required to reimburse GST to irrigation department. The above work was further awarded by irrigation department to private contractor. PSU was also deposit GST under RCM for above work and work executing contractor of irrigation department also deposit GST for above work.
Kindly clarify that
(1) Wheather psu as well as work executing contractor of irrigation department (both the parties) are required to deposit GST for above work?
(2) Wheather any GST exemption available for PSU for above work?

During the discussion, psu states that above work involves two services first service provdid by irrigation department to psu and second service which is provided by contractor to irrigation department. Thus both the parties pay GST and psu deposit GST under applicable RCM.

10 April 2024 No, it will not fall under such exemption.
Double GST payment will not arise.
Pay to the contractor directly and pay only service charges to government irrigation department.
I am a retired power generation PSU Executive Director/Finance, we followed such arrangements.

10 April 2024 From PSU point of view
RCM is applicable on services rendered by the Government department to PSU

No RCM on services given to Government departments by PSU, it will be FCM
