Quick Summary
This discussion examines whether professional bodies like ICAI, ICMA, and ICSI are considered 'educational institutions' under entry 66 for GST exemption purposes. While they provide legally recognised qualifications, a key point of debate is whether this automatically qualifies them under the definition, especially compared to UGC-approved institutions. The conversation also touches upon the GST liability for teachers providing services to these institutes.
Yes they are covered since they are recongnised by Law like ICAI is a statutory body established under an Act of Parliament i.e. CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Act of 1949.
Agreed ,But on a further note to be "a qualification recognized by law in India for time being in force" it should be i.e ICAI and other similar bodies should be approved under University Grants Comission..
