Supply of service of removal of hump by dredging to the Government is exempt from levy of GST


Quick Summary
The West Bengal Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has ruled that services supplied to the Government for removing humps via dredging are exempt from Goods and Services Tax (GST). This exemption applies because the service is considered a composite supply where the value of goods is less than 25% of the total value, and it relates to functions entrusted to municipalities or Panchayats.
