The HC held that the regulatory fees collected by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) are not subject to GST. The regulatory functions discharged by these Commissions do not constitute 'supply' under the CGST Act as they are neither supply of goods nor services. Their role is quasi-judicial, regulating and administering electricity distribution, which is a natural resource vesting in the State. The fees received cannot be considered 'consideration' in the course of furtherance of 'business' u/ss 2(17) and 7 of the CGST Act.
