Court :
Supreme Court of India
Brief :
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of The Union of India & Ors V. KC Overseas Education Pvt Ltd Nagpur [SLP(C) Nos. 21104-21105/2025, order dated August 25, 2025] dismissed the Revenue's special leave petition, thereby affirming the Bombay High Court's findings and upholding the IGST refund entitlement. The Court held that services provided by Indian education consultants to foreign universities for facilitating student admissions, where the contractual relationship and consideration are directly between the Indian entity and the foreign university, do not qualify as "intermediary services" but instead constitute "export of services" under the IGST Act. Accordingly, such transactions are eligible for IGST refund under Indian GST law.
