Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applicable to hostel fees, particularly when food is included. Generally, if a hostel is run by an educational institution for its students, GST is not applicable. However, if provided by an external entity, GST will apply based on the hostel's tariff slab, with rates potentially being 12% or 18%.

As per tariff slab . If the hostel is under any education scheme approved thrre may be reduced rate.

1) If the hostel services are provided by the educational institution to its student then GST will not be applicable.

2) If the hostel services are provided by any other person, then GST will be applicable according to the hostel tariff.
