But the same is missing from the section 269 ST of the bill as follows:
Provided that the provisions of this section shall not apply to-
(i) any receipt by-
(a) Government;
(b) any banking company, post office savings bank or co-operative bank;
(ii) transactions of the nature referred to in section 269SS;
(iii) such other persons or class of persons or receipts, which the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify.
So, wait for any clarification from the department.
