I am a wholesale textile trader and due to corona disruptions I am forced to pay interest to supplier textile mills on account of delayed payments. Similarly I am also collecting interests from my customers for delayed payments. Are such interest transactions liable to GST?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether GST is applicable on interest charged or paid due to delayed payments between non-financial companies, specifically for textile traders. The consensus is that GST is indeed leviable on such interest, as it is considered part of the transaction value according to Section 15(2)(d) of the CGST Act.
