<h1>Coaching services GST cut to 5% or exemption sought and exemption threshold raised to Rs. 1 crore to ease costs.</h1> The Coaching Federation of India urges reducing GST on coaching and supplementary education services to 5% or exempting them, arguing limited ability to claim input tax credit makes GST a direct add-on to student fees. It also seeks raising the Rs 20 lakh exemption threshold to Rs 1 crore to curb informality, relieve small centres, improve voluntary compliance and align taxation with education policy, and requests stakeholder consultation with the finance ministry before the Budget.
