GST ON WORK CONTRACTS

My client did the government contract during the period Apr 22 to May 22 months. But payment from the department arrived in Aug 22. The gst increased from 12% to 18% from 18-7-22. We issue the Invoice at the time of payment received. I want to know which gst rate is applicable on such work the 12% gst or 18% gst ?
Pls suggest with rulling.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common query regarding the applicable GST rate for government work contracts when payment is received after a GST rate change. The core issue is determining the correct rate when the invoice is issued upon payment, which occurred after the GST rate increased from 12% to 18%.

As per provision of GST act you should have to issue invoice within 30 days of completion of work.
GST rate will be 12,%
As per Section 14 of CGST Act , new rare will be applicable ie 18%.

Note : Thumb Rule :
In case of Services 3 conditions need to fulfill while Services is provided.
1. Bill raised
2. payment reced
3 Services has been provided.

So if any two of conditions is fulfill before the change in rate then Old rate will be applied.
