The AAR held that supply of stationery items without consideration does not constitute a supply under Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, as it is not made for consideration and thus falls outside the scope of business under Section 2(17). Supply of stationery or repair services for consideration qualifies as a taxable supply. Recovery of fines or penalties for loss or breach does not constitute a supply unless linked to contractual obligations, which are taxable per Schedule II. Disposal of waste or scrap and sale of tender forms or used vehicles are taxable supplies under Section 7. The applicant must apportion and reverse input tax credit on exempt supplies per Rule 42/43. Classification and exemption applicability could not be ruled on due to insufficient information.
