Sir, I have sold paddy and husk straw to customer for usage in boiler. There is no GST applicable on sale of paddy/husk straw but now I am providing service of cutting of paddy/husk straw along with sale of straw.
My question is whether GST applicable on cutting charges received from customer.
Or it will be exempt under composite supply.
