Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether selling school ID cards constitutes trading or a service for GST purposes. It explains that purchasing from manufacturers and selling to schools is considered trading. The applicability of GST, potential HSN codes (3920 or 4901), and eligibility for input tax credit are also covered. The advice suggests GST registration may be required based on turnover and location.

You are purchasing school ID card , from Manufacturers and selling to school ,it means you are Trader, and it's Trading .

It would be trading. Supply of goods and services now is covered under GST.

Based on turnover, location - registration under GST would be required. 

Classification of ID cards (without magnetic strip) based on the ingredients used in ID card classification may fall (probably) under HSN 3920 (18%) or 4901 (5%). 

Credit would be eligible if registered under GST (purchase of goods, and ancillary like rent, etc.), and taxes charged could be claimed by customer. 

Hope this helps. 

Since the contents to be printed on cards are provided by school you are only doing a service of printing them on a material(maybe yours or supplied by the school)

we are planning to issue RFID cards to our school children.
whether, GST is applicable on those cards, even if they are issued to schools?
