GST exemption for skill development services preserves tax-free status for government-approved training and assessment providers under specified schemes. Exemption from goods and services tax applies to specified skill development services when provided by approved entities-NSDC, Sector Skill Councils, approved assessment agencies, and approved training partners-in relation to the National Skill Development Programme, the National Skill Certification and Monetary Reward Scheme, or other NSDC-implemented schemes; separate entries exempt centrally empanelled assessing bodies for Skill Development Initiative assessments and training providers under the rural vocational training programme offering certification-aligned courses.
