ASchedule III — not a supply
BTaxable as supply of services
CExempt under Notf 12/2017-CT
DComposite supply with the Government
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Schedule III — not a supply
1. Schedule III para 3(a) puts the functions performed by Members of Parliament, State Legislature, Panchayats, Municipalities and other local authorities outside GST.
2. Their honorarium / sitting fees are therefore not taxable.
3. Para 3(b) similarly covers constitutional duties (e.g. President, Judges).
