Manpower supply to government: nil-rate GST applies when services directly perform functions entrusted to local bodies.
Pure manpower supply to government is taxable unless it constitutes a pure service directly in relation to functions entrusted to Panchayats or Municipalities; such outsourced services performing the enumerated public functions are eligible for a nil rate exemption, whereas supplies outside those entrusted functions remain taxable. Suppliers must assess whether deployed personnel perform statutory local-body functions to determine applicability of the nil-rate and whether normal GST charging (rather than reverse charge) applies. (AI Summary)
