No GST is applicable for the services provided by the Director under personal guarantee and loan extensions for the Company

Quick Summary
The Kerala High Court has ruled that no Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable on services provided by a director for personal guarantees and on loan extensions to a subsidiary company. This decision follows two key circulars from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC). These circulars clarify that personal guarantees provided by directors for company loans, when no consideration is paid, have a taxable value of zero. Additionally, loan extensions between related entities are exempt from GST if the consideration is solely in the form of interest.
