GST applicability on Electricity

[Murari Agrawal]

We have a high tension electricity connection in our premises, where no other Electric connection can be availed and if any one needs a separate connection, he will have to get connection from us via a sub-meter upon payment as per meter reading. My query is whether GST will be leviable on such payment. Thanks
