TDS deduction under GST

This discussion explores whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under GST needs to be applied when making payments to government agencies, such as the District Nirmiti Kendra. While Section 51 of the GST Act mandates TDS for supplies exceeding ₹2.5 Lakhs, there's a question about its applicability to government bodies. Initial opinions suggest no TDS is required, but further clarification and expert advice are sought, especially considering potential exceptions and specific notifications.
