The circular provides clarification on the place of supply for custodial services offered by banks to Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs). It addresses the confusion regarding whether these services fall under the category of services provided to 'account holders' as per Section 13(8)(a) of the IGST Act. The circular explains that custodial services do not qualify as services to account holders and should be determined under the default provision of sub-section (2) of section 13 of the IGST Act. This interpretation aligns with similar provisions in the Service Tax regime, indicating that custodial services are distinct from services provided to account holders. The circular emphasizes the need for uniformity in implementing these provisions across field formations.
