GST exemption on board-conducted examinations clarified; entrance fees and related input services are non-taxable, while accreditation services attract tax. GST is exempt on services supplied by Central and State Boards (including bodies like the National Board of Examination) when those services consist of the conduct of examinations for students, including entrance examinations, and therefore fees charged for such examinations are not taxable. Input services supplied to such Boards relating to admission or conduct of examinations (such as online testing, result publication, printing of notifications, admit cards and question papers) are also exempt when provided to the Boards. Other services by the Boards, notably accreditation or registration services, are taxable.
