This country in which we live has given many brilliant minds for which
we don't even need to give any introduction.
We all know that in today's era, everything is linked with money &
education industry is no more an exception.
Coaching institutes, training institutes etc. are not only spoon feeding
monotonic knowledge but also forcing a rigid way of thinking which retards
development creating the atmosphere of fear WHICH NEEDS A CHANGE.
Here comes the role of our ancient scholars, the 'Eklavya' who set a great
example of self-learning, overcoming every difficulty coming on his way of
learning with a desire of becoming an expert in archery, and he did it.
We call this concept as Self Learning and this booklet is a part of that
motive.
Our aim is to develop a system where students become tutor and simply
teach to learn. However this is possible once a student is out of the stage
of his childhood.
Thank you,
With Regards

Important Message:
It allows us to tackle problems through our very own capabilities. In that sense, we
can use our knowledge by better analyzing the things by formulating our own
techniques, methods, and tools. We know that Self-Help is the greatest help.
And the Self-guided learning is the greatest way to be educated and sharpening our
skills.
Nowadays, we may found many resources, books, eBooks, and custom essay
writing companies which are available to help the self-learners.
We at GSTIndAS reversing the pattern of how we learn new things, we are moving
back towards traditional methods (i.e., Self Learning) of learning alongside using
the positives of modern learning techniques. Because, we believe that learning by
traditional methods and techniques helps us to retain things forever.
1. UNDERSTANDING
The benefit of learning on its own is that one can explore different ways of thinking,
and can go through difficult concepts on its own without help. It is true that if you
do R&D on something by self, you will have best understanding of that thing. You
may need to add on something but you surely need not to start from scratch.
2. ANALYTICAL SKILLS
Self-learning skill develops the analytical skills, which every organisation
irrespective of industry requires MUST. So, analysing things differently is a must,
which can only be done by Self-guided help.
1. GET INTERESTED
Identify hot topic which need to be learnt and develop interest in the subject. You
cant learn what you do not want to learn. Emotion is an important part of the
learning process. If you are highly interested you find it a bit easier and vice-versa.
If you have moderate interest in a subject, give yourself a chance because
sometimes your interest gives you edge over others.
Then cover the same general information from a different source, a different book,
or a podcast, or an online lecture or a video or consulting with some expert.
The broader your base, the easier it is to learn. Just as the rich gets richer, the
more you know, the more you can learn.
Learn when you got empty spaces in your daily routine work. Example of empty
spaces are travelling, waiting for someone, bored from work etc.
Put the enthusiasm of learning in your heart you find you are already doing what
you are supposed to do.
5. BE A MULTIMEDIA LEARNER
I hope everyone have watched the movie named the 3 idiots. In this movie, there is
a dialog Jaha jaha se gyan mile loot lo, har taraf gyan bat rha hai. In this sense,
the more varied your learning content, and the more varied the ways in which you
learn, the clearer the picture will become.
Different learning activities suit different people, at different times of the day. Vary
your activities in order to keep your interest level up. This will renew your batteries.
In these communities, you can measure your progress against your own goals, or
compare your experience with that of other learners. You can even teach and help
others, which is a great way to learn.
Never has it been easier nor more exciting to be a self-learner. Let constant
learning be a major part of your life-style. The rewards will be in terms of
self-growth, new horizon of thinking and better learning experience.

TIME AND VALUE OF SUPPLY:-
The time of supply fixes the point when the liability to charge GST arises. It also
indicates when a supply is deemed to have been made. The CGST Act provides
separate time of supply for goods and services.
If invoice is issued within 30 If invoice is not issued within If both case dont apply

Ans: No, the supply shall be deemed to have been made to the extent it is covered
by the invoice or the part payment.
Q2. What is the time of supply applicable with regard to addition in the value
by way of interest, late fee or penalty or any delayed payment of consideration
from Customer?
Ans: The time of supply with regard to an addition in value on account of interest,
late fee or penalty or delayed consideration shall be the date on which the supplier

the time of such supply and specifically linked to relevant invoices and
input tax credit as is attributable to the discount on the basis of document
issued by the supplier has been reversed by recipient.
open market value of a supply means the full value in money, excluding
the integrated tax, central tax, State tax, Union territory tax and the cess
payable by a person in a transaction, where the supplier and the recipient of
the supply are not related and price is the sole consideration, to obtain such
supply at the same time when the supply being valued is made.

UNIFYING THE DIVERSITY: IMPACT OF GST
Is India a Preferred Location Now for Investment?
ABHAY TULSIAN, CA
TAMIL NADU
ABHAYTULSIAN@GMAIL.COM
PRELUDE:
THE MERCURY IS INTENSIFYING for the Indian economic barometer. Year of 2016
has been one such era of various historical economic development. The passing of
GST bill and demonetization were two such big events in the domestic front which
have paved way for the most tectonic tax reforms in India giving an end to corruption
and parallel economy in India.
The ambitious goods and services tax (GST) may be a reality soon and
implementation on 1 July, 2017 seems possible with the passing of the GST laws in
the Lok Sabha on 29 March 2017. GST subsuming majority of the indirect taxes in
India would de-shackle the existing complex indirect tax structure and build up a
unified structure. By amalgamating a large number of Central and State taxes into a
single tax, it would mitigate cascading or double taxation in a major way and pave
the way for a common national market.
GST is not just a change in the tax regime, but a transformation in the way of
doing business in India. Industry having very limited time to implement the
changes, introduction of GST will necessitate a review and change of tax positions,
the supply chain, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, business processes
and accounting.
This article, is an earnest effort to achieve an understanding of the impact that GST
will have on key sectors of the Indian economy and ripple effect of the same on
ultimate customers. Keeping in mind the far reaching implication of the changes
which GST would bring in, it would be worth inspecting whether India would be a
preferred location for investment or not.
http://gyapy.com 26 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
Classification disputes are a root cause for litigation under both central excise and
VAT. The same is on account of the existence of varying rates of excise duty an d VAT
on different products, as well as several exemptions provided under excise and VAT
legislations. Introduction of GST on the principles of a simplified rate structure and
minimization of exemptions will significantly reduce disputes regarding classification.
State-border checkpoints negatively impact the overall production and logistics time
account for roughly 60% of a trucks transit time. GST regime would coalesce the
Indian market and promote the smooth flow of goods. Although border check
post- raj may not be done away with, reduced compliance at these check posts will
shrink transport plights.
Impact on working capital may be noteworthy since stock transfers are not subject to
tax under the current regime. Under the GST regime, stock transfers are subject
to tax. Though GST paid would be available as credit, utilization of the GST paid
would happen only after the final supply resulting in cash flow blockages.
Unlike the current regime where credit of excise duty paid on specified petroleum
products is available, the same will now add to the cost of production on account of
elimination of petroleum products under the new GST regime.
Currently Service tax is applicable at the rate of 15% on services but it is expected
that under GST regime services will be charged at a higher rate of tax of 18%
making the services costlier.
GST Law has made an effort to address the historic argument of complicated indirect
taxation on IT Software. Definition of service includes intangible property and the
definition of goods excludes intangibles. This would put to rest the historic dual
treatment of software and other intangibles (various types of digital downloads,
http://gyapy.com 27 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
licenses, trade mark etc.). However, uncertainty still continues if such definition of
service shall include standardized software products supplied on a tangible medium.
Most of the companies under this sector are registered only with Service Tax and all
billing and accounting tasks are carried out from a centralized location. Under the
GST regime, service providers would now be required to obtain registration for
all the states that they have customers in. This will lead to 111 points of taxation
which means IT companies providing services all over India will have to seek
registration in as many as 37 jurisdictions that will include 29 states, seven union
territories and the Centre.
Under the current regime, actionable claim is specifically excluded from the definition
of service and is not liable to service tax. Further, the definition of goods excludes
securities and no VAT is payable. In the model GST Law, the definition of goods
specifically covers actionable claims. Taxability of the same would have an
adverse impact since actionable claims may be subjected to Tax under GST.
Model GST law lacks clarity on continuity of the exemptions to Export Oriented
Units. However, as far as SEZ are concerned, they are to be treated on par with the
exports.
Agricultural sector accounts for 16% of Indian Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GST
would have an impact on many sections of the people in agriculture sector.
Agricultural products, being perishable in nature, requires an improved supply chain
mechanism with minimal transportation time taken for inter-state transportation.
GST is likely to address this concern since it would make this supply chain efficient.
An efficient supply chain would safeguard farmers/retailers from wastage and
increased cost.
Transactions such as trading in oilseeds, pulses and cereals are currently outside the
ambit of taxation under the current regime of indirect taxation. The poultry and
livestock industry is also outside the ambit of indirect tax coverage and products of
the industry, such as feed, feed additives, eggs, etc. have generally been exempt from
excise duty as well as the state level VAT taxes. Since GST would broaden the tax
base, these products would now be brought under the tax net.
Currently, there is no tax on procurement of milk from farmers. Generally, 2% VAT is
levied on sale of milk powder to a company. With the implementation of GST, the tax
may vary from 12% or 18% resulting in increase in prices of milk and milk products.
Scheme for promotion of National Agricultural Market (NAM) has been introduced by
the Ministry. The scheme envisages networking of selected markets to a common
electronic platform across the country to provide farmers and traders with access to
opportunities for purchase/ sale of agro-commodities at best prices. The
implementation of GST is inevitably linked to successful implementation of
http://gyapy.com 28 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
NAM as it aims at unified tax structure of goods and services which would eventually
include agricultural produce.
The real estate sector is estimated to account for about five per cent of Indias GDP
and is considered the second-largest employer in the country. This sector has been
subjected to wide-ranging litigation and unscientific reasoning by the tax authorities.
Several construction contracts which are exempt under the current regime are likely
to be brought under the tax net with the implementation of GST. Further, contracts
executed post the advent of GST regime would be taxable under GST even
though they were entered under the old regime. Pricing decision of such contract will
have to be evaluated after factoring the GST impact on such contracts.
The valuation issues are likely to be mitigated, since the contract is treated as supply
of services. One may need to assess the impact on tax rates in case services are taxed
at higher rates. The expected rate of GST on works contract is 18%. Abatement/
compositions are likely to be done away with.
At present the land is kept outside the ambit of GST, however the same is likely
to be brought into the GST ambit at future date as may be recommended by the GST
Council.
Concept of Centralized registration is done away with under the GST regime.
This will result in higher cost burden to the works contractors since most of the
contractors pay service tax on centralized basis.
The E-commerce sector is in a galloping stage today and growth in this sector has
been phenomenal. The major advantage would be larger credit pool under GST than
the current regime which may offset the higher rate of tax under GST. Under GST,
output tax on e-Commerce sector would be higher when compared to the
current service tax rate.
http://gyapy.com 29 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
centralized registration which would in turn result in higher compliance cost. The law
of tax collection at source by e-commerce companies could result in significant
compliance burden along with cash flow issues for the vendors listed on the
marketplaces.
Under the current regime, e-commerce operator is liable to pay service tax only in
case where service is provided under the brand of the operator. However, under GST,
irrespective of the fact that the service is provided under the own brand (Redbus,
Make my trip) or under the brand of the operator (Uber or Ola), the operator shall
have to remit the applicable GST. This will lead to broadening of the horizons of levy
of tax on the e-commerce operators. Further, GST may mitigate the present issues
more particularly the tax credit issues across the border avoiding tax
cascading.
The vendors who supply goods/services to the e-commerce operators would have to
be mandatorily registered under GST which would add to their cost of compliance.
For startups whose turnover is not expected to be beyond the standard threshold,
maintaining the standard threshold would have provided some relief. The proposed
mandatory registration is not line with the concept of Ease of Doing Business in
India.
IMPACT ON CONSUMERS:
Most of the goods (for e.g. beauty products, consumer electronics, non-luxury
automobiles) are currently subjected to higher indirect taxes as they attract an excise
duty of 12.5% and a VAT of 12.5% to 15% varying from State to State. Further, till
the time the product reaches the end customer there are plentiful cascading of taxes
leads to an effective indirect tax rate 25% to 30% in the hands of the end customer.
Standard rate of GST being 18%, there would be a substantial saving in the overall
indirect tax cost borne by the customers. This reduction in indirect tax cost would
lead to reduction in production cost giving a room for reducing prices and benefiting
end-users.
On the other hand, for some other goods (for e.g. textiles, edible oil, and low value
footwear) the rate of excise duty is nil whereas VAT in most States is 5%. Thus, the
overall tax cost for these kind of goods comes to 8-9%. If these goods are taxed
at the standard rate of 18% then there would be significant increase in cost
for the end customers. Even if these goods are kept at the lower GST rate of 12%
there would be an increase in cost for the end customers.
Further, introduction of the Anti-Profiteering clauses into the law for the first time
would bring down the cost to the end consumers. However the anti-profiteering
clauses lacks clarity on the manner of calculation of the benefits to be passed on to
the consumers.
http://gyapy.com 30 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
The introduction of GST is likely to perk up the tax collections and boost Indias
economic development. Financial gains will be all pervasive if stake holders rightly
understand the intricacies of the law and take timely steps to upgrade their software
and systems. Moreover, GST has the potential to transform not only the tax system in
the country but also the way we organize and do the business and thereby it will

INPUT TAX CREDIT UNDER GST
MOHIT GUPTA
NEW DELHI
MOHIT.GUPTA363@GMAIL.COM
INTRODUCTION
GST or Goods and Services Tax is a domestic trade tax that will be levied in the form
of a value added tax on all goods and services.
In harmony with current tax practices followed throughout the world, concept of
consumption based taxation would usher in GST in India. Simultaneously, more
than dozen major taxes under present indirect taxation like Central Excise, Service
Tax, and VAT etc. would be subsumed and usher in a tax system of seamless flow of
tax credits.
Input Tax Credit basically refers to a mechanism in which input tax paid on
input supply of goods/services are allowed set off against the output tax
liability of a person. This input tax credit in relation to any period means
setting off the amount of input tax by a registered dealer against the amount of
his output tax.
Section 2(62) of Central GST Act, 2017 provides the definition of term Input
Tax as:
(62) input tax in relation to a registered person, means the central tax, State tax,
integrated tax or Union territory tax charged on any supply of goods/services made to
him and includes
(a) the integrated goods and services tax charged on import of goods;
(b) the tax payable under the provisions of sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 9;
http://gyapy.com 32 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
(c) the tax payable under the provisions of sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 5 of the
Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act;
(d) the tax payable under the provisions of sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 9 of the
respective State Goods and Services Tax Act; or
(e) the tax payable under the provisions of sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 7 of the
Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Act,
but does not include the tax paid under the composition levy;
From the above definition it can be seen that the term input tax includes all
taxes on every kind of taxable supply for a registered person.
http://gyapy.com 33 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
c. Subject to the provisions of Section 41 (provisional acceptance), the tax
charged in respect of such supply has been actually paid to the
Government.
d. He has furnished the return under section 39 (monthly consolidated
return).
In case goods have been received in lots or installments, the credit shall be
admissible on the receipt of last lot or installment.
Further, the payment for input service shall be made within 180 days from the
date of invoice, failing which input credit claimed earlier shall be added to the
output tax liability along with Interest.
No credit shall be allowed for the tax paid in case the same has been claimed as
depreciation under section 32 of Income Tax Act, 1961.
No ITC shall be allowed in respect of an invoice issued after the furnishing of
annual return or return under section 39 for the month of September following
the end of financial year whichever is earlier.
Credit cannot be availed after the expiry of one year from the date of issue of
invoice e.g. Last day to avail input credit for F.Y. 2017-18 would be 20th October,
2018.
Following Goods/Services :-
Membership of a club, health or fitness center
Travel benefits extended to employees
http://gyapy.com 34 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
Goods/services received
For construction of immovable property, other than
plant & machinery
On his own account
Even if used for business
APPORTIONMENT OF CREDIT
Where the goods/services are used by the registered person for business
purpose as well as for other purposes, the amount of credit shall be available
only to the extent of business purpose.
Further, where the goods/services are used for making taxable supplies
(including zero-rated supplies) as well as for exempt supplies, the credit shall
be available only related to the taxable supplies. The value of exempt supply
shall be calculated in prescribed manner and shall include supplies under
reverse charge basis, transactions in securities and sale of land.
JOB WORK
In case inputs have to be sent for job work, the principal shall be allowed input
tax credit on inputs sent to a job-worker subject to prescribed conditions.
Principal shall be entitled to take input tax credit of inputs even if the inputs
are directly sent to a job worker for job-work without being first brought to
place of business of principal. However, if the inputs sent for job-work are not
received back by the principal after completion of job-work within a period of 1
year, tax would be levied on such supply.
http://gyapy.com 35 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
In case of capital goods, time limit is 3 years.
CONCLUSION
All stake holders need to get ready for the GST. The impact of GST will be
tremendous; laws will be simplified and if the stake holders take timely steps to
upgrade their software and systems; the financial gains will be all pervasive. The
completely seamless credit flow under GST would be very helpful for the Indian
industry and would help in reducing the price for the ultimate consumers by
minimizing the distortions under the indirect tax system of India. Benefits of GST are
critically dependent on a neutral and rational design of the GST. GST would be a
landmark initiative which would kick start the next generation of reforms. Therefore,
based on the material available in the public domain, we should start preparing
ourselves for GST.

TIME OF SUPPLY UNDER GST
NIHALCHAND JAIN, CA
MAHARASHTRA
CANIHALJAIN1993@GMAIL.COM
Generally, time of supply means the time when we become liable to pay duty / tax to
the government. Hence, it is this moment when we become debtors in the books of
government. This is the moment when we commit, that we are liable to pay
something to the government but how much to pay, may or may not be decided yet.
Hence, it gains tremendous importance from all practical aspects because incorrect
determination of such time definitely has a financial impact.
As per GST law, Time of supply shall have the meaning as assigned to it in Sec 12 &
Sec 13
WHY HAS THE LAW INSERTED TWO SECTIONS FOR DEFINING TIME
OF SUPPLY?
At present, goods and services are covered under different statutes. The nature
of goods as well as services is different from each other. GST would merge
almost all major prevailing indirect taxes dealing with goods as well as services.
Post GST there would be only one tax. Hence, in light of the above discussion,
it is better to keep separate sections. It makes the law more relevant as a
person dealing in goods may / may not provide services, so it is not required
for such dealer to compulsorily know about the timing of supplies with respect
to services.
The two sections which deal with the time of supply are as follows:
Sec 12 - Time of supply of goods
Sec 13 - Time of supply of services
The liability to pay CGST / SGST on the supplies shall arise at the time of
supply as stated in Sec 12(1) & Sec 13(1).
Monetary impact - A wrong derivation of timing will result into excess cash
outflow in form of interest, penalties. Such excess outflow will not even be
adjustable.
http://gyapy.com 45 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
Non - monetary impact - A qualitative impact of wrong determination of timing
can have an impact on your relations with customers. With the introduction of
matching concept under GST, customer will get credit only when you make
payment of tax to the account of appropriate government. The GST law has
introduced the concept of compliance ratings wherein every registered person
would be allotted ratings based on the compliance of the act.
We will now try to understand the time of supply with respect to goods
Sec 12(1):
The liability to pay tax on goods shall arise at the time of supply, as determined in
accordance with the provisions of this section.
Sec 12(2):
The time of supply of goods shall be the EARLIER of the following dates, namely, -
(a) The date of issue of invoice by the supplier or the last date on which he is
required, under sub-section (1) of section 31, to issue the invoice with respect to the
supply or
(b) The date on which the supplier receives the payment with respect to the supply.
Explanation 2. - For the purpose of CLAUSE (B), the date on which the supplier
receives the payment shall be
PROVIDED that where the supplier of taxable goods receives an amount up to one
thousand rupees in excess of the amount indicated in the tax invoice, the time of
supply to the extent of such excess shall, at the option of the said supplier, be the
date of issue of invoice.
Explanation 1.- For the purposes of clauses (a) and (b), the supply shall be deemed
to have been made to the extent it is covered by the invoice or, as the case may be,
the payment.
Analysis -
The use of word EARLIER is justified because in case of clause (a), it will either be
date of issue of invoice or last date as per sec 31(1). The earlier of this date would be
compared with date of payment.
http://gyapy.com 46 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
FOR QUICK REFERENCING:
Illustration 1:
Invoice is issued for Rs. 5,000 on June 22, 2016 by the supplier. Further, the Date
on which payment is entered in books of accounts of the supplier is June 30, 2016
and Date on which payment is credited to the bank account is June 28, 2016 Due
date of issue of invoice under section 31 is July 1,2016.
http://gyapy.com 47 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
8,000/-. Date of issue of invoice pertaining to Rs. 500/- and Rs. 3,000/- is July 3,
2016.
Solution:
Determination of Rs. 500 and Rs. 3,000
Sr. No. Amount paid (Rs) Amount billed (Rs) Excess amount (Rs)
1. 5,500 5,000 500
2. 8,000 5,000 3,000
Scenario 1:
The supplier of taxable goods has received an amount of Rs. 500 in excess of the
amount indicated in the tax invoice, the time of supply to the extent of such excess
shall, at the option of the said supplier, be the date of issue of invoice.
Scenario 2:
The supplier of taxable goods has received an amount of Rs. 3,000 in excess of the
amount indicated in the tax invoice. Hence, this option of treating the time of supply
to the extent of such excess is not available with the supplier. Therefore, he has to
compulsorily follow Sec 12. In this case, the time of supply would be the EARLIEST
of:

Sec 12(3):

or clause (b) or clause (c), the time of supply shall be the date of entry in the books
of account of the recipient of supply.
http://gyapy.com 49 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF
ISSUE OF INVOICE
Sec 12(4):
(a) The date of issue of voucher, if the supply is identifiable at that point; or
(b) The date of redemption of voucher, in all other cases;
For Example -
Suppose the famous hair art studio Jawed Habib issues a voucher for haircut worth
Rs. 1,000. In this case we all know the supply the hair art studio will provide against
the voucher. Hence the supply is identifiable, covered in case (a).
On the other hand, if Flipkart issues a voucher worth Rs. 1,000, we do not know the
nature of supply Flipkart may have to provide to the voucher holder. Hence covered
in case (b).
Sec 12(5):
In case it is NOT POSSIBLE to determine the time of supply under the provisions of
sub-section (2), (3) OR (4) the TIME of supply shall
(a) in a case where a periodical RETURN has to be FILED, be the DATE on which
such return is to be FILED, or
(b) in ANY OTHER CASE, be the date on which the CGST/SGST is PAID.
Sec 12(6):
The time of supply to the extent it relates to an addition in the value of supply by way
of interest, late fee or penalty for delayed payment of any consideration shall be the
date on which the supplier receives such addition in value.
Illustration 2:
Mr. A and Mr. B enter into contract that Mr. A will supply goods to Mr. B worth Rs.
1,000. Mr. B will pay value of goods and tax thereon within 30 days from the date of
receipt of goods. If Mr. B fails to make payment within 30 days, Mr. B will be liable to
pay simple interest @ 20% from 31st day till the date of actual payment.
Scenario 2: Mr. B makes the payment along with tax, interest on 62nd day.
http://gyapy.com 50 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
Scenario 1:
Since Mr. B has made payment within the allowed timeframe, no interest would be
charged on Mr. B and hence this sub-section is not attracted.
Scenario 2:
Since Mr. B has breached the time limit for payment as per contract, he will be
charged simple interest @ 20% from 31st day to 62nd day i.e. till the date of actual
payment. In this case, Mr. A receives something more in form of interest. This is
received because of supplies made. Hence the law makers have included this as value
of supply. The time of supply with respect to this extra receipt is the date on which
supplier actually receives such interest. Hence it is taxable on actual receipt basis.
Sec 13(1): The liability to pay tax on services shall arise at the time of supply, as
determined in accordance with the provisions of this section.
Sec 13(2): The time of supply of services shall be the earliest of the following
dates, namely:
(a) the date of issue of invoice by the supplier, if the invoice is issued within
the period prescribed under sub-section (2) of section 31 or the date of receipt
of payment, whichever is earlier; or
(b) the date of provision of service, if the invoice is not issued within the period
prescribed under sub-section (2) of section 31 or
the date of receipt of payment, whichever is earlier; or
(c) the date on which the recipient shows the receipt of services in his books
of account, in a case where the provisions of clause (a) or clause (b) do not
apply:
Provided that where the supplier of taxable service receives an amount up to one
thousand rupees in excess of the amount indicated in the tax invoice, the time of
supply to the extent of such excess amount shall, at the option of the said supplier,
be the date of issue of invoice relating to such excess amount.
http://gyapy.com 51 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
(i) The supply shall be deemed to have been made to the extent it is covered by the
invoice or, as the case may be, the payment;
(ii) The date of receipt of payment shall be the date on which the payment is entered
in the books of account of the supplier or the date on which the payment is credited
to his bank account, whichever is earlier.
Illustration 1:
Invoice is issued for Rs. 5,000 on June 22, 2016 by the supplier. Further, the Date
on which payment is entered in books of accounts of the supplier is June 30, 2016
and Date on which payment is credited to the bank account is June 28, 2016 Due
date of issue of invoice under section 31 is July 1, 2016. Date of provision of service
is June 1, 2016.
http://gyapy.com 52 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
Scenario 2 - Invoice is not issued timely
Sec 13(3):
(a) the date of payment as entered in the books of account of the recipient or the
date on which the payment is debited in his bank account, whichever is earlier;
or
(b) the date immediately following sixty days from the date of issue of invoice or
any other document, by whatever name called, in lieu thereof by the supplier:
Provided that where it is not possible to determine the time of supply under clause ( a)
or clause (b), the time of supply shall be the date of entry in the books of account of
the recipient of supply:
http://gyapy.com 53 | G S T I n d A S https://www.fb.com/GSTINDAS
1. the date of entry in the books of account of the recipient of supply or
2. the date of payment, whichever is earlier.
As per Sec 2(12) of the bill as presented in Lok Sabha, associated enterprises
shall have the same meaning as assigned to it in section 92A of the Income-tax Act,
1961.
Sec 13(4): In case of supply of vouchers by a supplier, the time of supply shall
be
(a) the date of issue of voucher, if the supply is identifiable at that point; or
Sec 13(5):
Where it is not possible to determine the time of supply under the provisions of sub-
section (2) or sub-section (3) or sub-section (4), the time of supply shall
(a) in a case where a periodical return has to be filed, be the date on which such
return is to be filed; or
(b) in any other case, be the date on which the tax is paid.
Sec 13(6):
The time of supply to the extent it relates to an addition in the value of supply by way
of interest, late fee or penalty for delayed payment of any consideration shall be the
date on which the supplier receives such addition in value.
CONCLUSION:
At present, various statutes determine different time of supplies with respect to goods
and services. There are further complexities to determine time of supply in case of
goods. In the GST regime, such complexities would be done away with as many
existing concepts like production, manufacture, etc. would become redundant.
Numerous case laws will no longer prevail. There will be introduction of new concepts
like matching concept, compliance ratings, etc. in the field of Indirect taxes. The
introduction of matching concept will ensure that WE i.e. both the supplier and
recipient are declaring the same outflow and same inflow in the same / subsequent
periods.
