FAQ :
The government collected ₹4,792 crore in GST from the education sector in the financial year 2023-24.
No, not all education services are subject to GST. Services provided by educational institutions up to higher secondary level, courses run by government-recognised boards or universities, midday meals under government schemes, and admission/examination services are generally exempt.
GST is typically applied to services like coaching centres, tuition classes, vocational training by private institutes, and non-core activities such as transportation, catering, or hostel services provided by educational entities.
The collection indicates a significant contribution from non-exempt private services and may impact the affordability of certain educational segments. It also encourages greater clarity in service classification.
Awareness of GST rules and exemptions is crucial for educational service providers to ensure compliance and accurate tax filings.
