Whether normal lease rentals paid on monthly basis is taxable or exempt. And whether any upfront amount paid by subsequent lessee to original lessee on sub lease basis is exempt?
RCM on passenger vehicle is applicable from 01/10/2019 itself and not from 01/01/2020. Please see F. No. 354/189/2019-TRU dt:______ which makes it clear about effective date
