GST on BF/BC services: banks bear tax liability on customer service charges and rural-branch exemptions depend on branch classification. The banking company is the service provider in the BF/BC model and is liable to pay GST on the entire service charge or fee charged to customers, irrespective of collection via BF/BC, because transactions must be reflected in the bank's books and the bank remains responsible for BF/BC acts. The rural-branch exemption for BF/BC services applies only where the services fall within the financial services classification and relate to accounts of branches classified as rural under the bank's regulatory classification.
