Quick Summary

The standard GST rate for work contracts supplied to government agencies, such as providing and fixing high masts, is generally 12%. While electrical goods might typically attract an 18% GST rate, for these specific government contracts, the combined CGST and SGST amounts to 12%. Subcontractors often find that the GST paid on materials purchased can be offset against the Input Tax Credit (ITC) available on their output supply to the main contractor.

06 October 2021 For works contract supply to Governmental agencies, the GST rate is 12% only.
But it has been generally noted that the GST paid by sub contractor, during purchase of material almost gets utilized against the ITC available in output supply to main contractor.
