AAR held that the applicant's activities of collection, handling, storage, transportation, processing, bundling and final disposal of non-recyclable plastic waste supplied to a State-owned company (CKCL) constitute "solid waste management" services. AAR further held that CKCL, being a public limited company with 100% equity owned and controlled by the State Government through the Local Self-Government Department and entrusted with municipal solid waste management and sanitation functions under Art. 243W, qualifies as a "Governmental Authority" under GST law. Consequently, the services supplied by the applicant to CKCL are covered under Entry 3B of N/N. 12/2017-CT (Rate) as amended by N/N. 13/2023-CT (Rate) and are exempt from GST.
