This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) treatment of MEIS (Merchandise Exports from India Scheme) scrips. It confirms that MEIS scrips are exempt from GST, meaning no ITC reversal is required when used for customs duty payments. Purchases of these scrips can be reported as exempted inward supplies in GSTR-3B.

1.) MEIS Licences are freely transferable Duty Credit Scripts. They are exempted under GST vide Notification No. 35/2017 C.T. (Rate) dtd. 13.10.2017.
