Dear Mohanji,

(17) “business” includes––

any trade, commerce, manufacture, profession, vocation, adventure, wager or any other similar activity, whether or not it is for a pecuniary benefit;
any activity or transaction in connection with or incidental or ancillary to sub-clause (a);
any activity or transaction in the nature of sub-clause (a), whether or not there is volume, frequency, continuity or regularity of such transaction;
supply or acquisition of goods including capital goods and services in connection with commencement or closure of business;
provision by a club, association, society, or any such body (for a subscripttion or any other consideration) of the facilities or benefits to its members;
admission, for a consideration, of persons to any premises;
services supplied by a person as the holder of an office which has been accepted by him in the course or furtherance of his trade, profession or vocation;
services provided by a race club by way of totalisator or a licence to book maker in such club ; and
any activity or transaction undertaken by the Central Government, a State Government or any local authority in which they are engaged as public authorities;

In my view it is an business furtherence or extention by purchasing/re-sale. GST is applicable.

regards,

Transfer of Going Concern as a whole or in part is exempt from GST by virtue of section 11 of CGST Act , 2017.

Thus, on GST is applicable
