GST ON GRANTS AND DONATATIONS

In the case of Jayshankar Gramin Va Adivasi Vikas Sanstha Sangamner, the Maharashtra Bench of AAR ruled that GST will be applicable on state and central government grants received by Trust. Similarly, GST will be applicable to donations. If the purpose of the donation is philanthropic and leads to no commercial gains is not an advertisement, then it would not attract GST.

Since it is ruling by AAR , whether it will be applicable to all trusts or only to applicant

Quick Summary
A recent Maharashtra AAR ruling states that Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable to government grants and donations received by trusts. While this ruling is specifically binding on the applicant and their tax officer, it serves as important guidance for other trusts. The ruling suggests that donations for purely philanthropic purposes, without commercial gain or advertisement, may not attract GST.

To all the trust, having similar conditions of grants or donation/s.

The ruling is binding on the applicant and the jurisdictional officer in respect of the applicant.

The ruing is not binding on other trusts but it still have a suggestive value and can be used as reference or guidance
