7. Inter-State supply.

inter state txn includes :-

Supply of goods and services imported into the territory of India, till they cross the customs frontiers of India, shall be treated to be a supply of goods in the course of inter-State trade or commerce.


Supply of goods or services or both,-
[a] when the supplier is located in India and the place of supply is outside India;

[b] to or by a Special Economic Zone developer or a Special Economic Zone unit; or

[c] in the taxable territory, not being an intra-State supply and not covered elsewhere in this section, shall be treated to be a supply of goods or services or both in the course of inter-State trade or commerce.

Section 7 of the IGST Act,2017

. Inter-Sta te supply.includes :-

Supply of goods and services imported into the territory of India, till they cross the customs frontiers of India, shall be treated to be a supply of goods in the course of inter-State trade or commerce.

Supply of goods or services or both,-
[a] when the supplier is located in India and the place of supply is outside India;

[b] to or by a Special Economic Zone developer or a Special Economic Zone unit; or

[c] in the taxable territory, not being an intra-State supply and not covered elsewhere in this section, shall be treated to be a supply of goods or services or both in the course of inter-State trade or commerce

Hence, the transaction is akin to interstate supply. Hence, They would not be eligible for compostion scheme.
