Quick Summary

The Maharashtra Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has clarified the GST applicability for technical consultancy services provided to the Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP). Services performed and invoiced before January 1, 2022, were exempt from GST. However, for services performed before January 1, 2022, but invoiced afterwards, an 18% GST rate applies. This ruling stems from an amendment to the exemption notification that removed 'Governmental authority or Government Entity' from the list of eligible recipients for exemption.
