GST Exemption for Skilling Services by NSDC and Approved Partners Clarified; Amendments Align with National Skill Framework.
Services provided by entities such as the National Skill Development Corporation, the National Council for Vocational Education and Training, and recognized awarding and assessment bodies are exempt from GST. These services relate to the National Skill Development Programme, vocational skill development courses under the National Skill Certification and Monetary Reward Scheme, or qualifications approved by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training. Amendments have refined these exemptions, clarifying GST payments for skilling services by approved training partners. Notifications from 2024 and 2025 detail these changes, ensuring alignment with the National Skill Qualification Framework.
