CBIC clarified that transactions in vouchers, whether recognized as pre-paid instruments by RBI or not, are neither supply of goods nor services. Trading of vouchers on principal-to-principal basis is not leviable to GST. However, commission/fee earned by agents for distribution is taxable service.
