2. FACTS AND CONTENTION — AS PER THE APPLICANT

The submissions made by Ms Borade Meerabai Tukaram, the Applicant are as under:-

2.1 Mr. Borade co-owns immovable property situated at Nashik, which is given on rent to Public Welfare Department (PWD), Maharashtra Government. The Applicant is one of the co-owners of immovable property. All the co-owners, including the Applicant, hold proportionate share in the property in three separate agreements. The rental income and co-owner details as are under:

Sr. Particulars Agreement 1 Agreement 2 Agreement 3

2. Gayatri Borade

2. Sagar Borade

4 Co-owner share (sq. ft) N/A 50:50 50:50
5 Average rent p.m. 1,52,134.00 2,40,711.00 2,59,454.00
6 Total rent p.a. 18.26 lacs 28.89 lacs 31.13 lacs
7 Rental income per person per annum 18.26 lacs 14.42 lacs 15.57 lacs

2.2 In the instant case the rental income from the properties, per annum, does not exceed the GST registration threshold (i.e. Rs 20 lacs). However, the total rental received exceeds the threshold provided under section 22(1) of the GST Act. Given the aforesaid, the Applicant is un-registered under CGST Act, 2017. However, Sahayak Ayukt Samaj Kalyan Vibhag is deducting TDS under Section 51 of the CGST Act, 2017. This TDS is resulting into cost for the Applicant.

B. Statement containing the Applicant’s interpretation of law and/or facts

2.3 The case under consideration is covered under section 51 of the CGST Act, 2017 that is Tax Deducted at Source by the Government.

2.4 AS per Section 51(1) of the CGST Act, Tax Deducted at Source has been defined to include all Services Provided to Government under CGST Act, and the gross value to deduct TDS should be relatively more than 2,50,000 in order to be eligible for deduction of Tax deducted at source.

2.5 According to provisions of section 51 of CGST Act, 2017 read with Section 20 of IGST Act, 2017, a deductor is required to deduct TDS at prescribed rates as CGST and SGST/UTGST (in case of intra-state) on the payment made or credited to supplier w.r.t. procurement of ‘taxable goods or services’.

2.6 In terms of provisions of section 22 of CGST Act read with notification issued under IGST Act, the person, who is making intra / inter-state taxable supply and having an aggregate turnover upto prescribed limit computed on PAN India basis, has been exempted from obtaining registration. At present, the threshold for services in Maharashtra is INR 20 lacs. In view of the threshold, it can be said that TDS provisions are not applicable in the instant case.

2.7 Further, as per subsection (5) of section 51, deductee can claim credit of TDS deducted in his credit ledger. It is also evident from this provision that the registered person can claim credit. Hence, this provision is applicable only in case of registered Supplier.

2.8 Even further, as per GSTR FORM -07 (TDS return), GSTIN of deductee is required to be provided since tax deducted would reflect into the electronic cash ledger of said deductee onto GSTN Portal. Given this, it can be said that in case of unregistered supplier, the said mechanism is not intended to be applicable.

2.9 Even the Law Committee of GST Council clarified in the “Standard Operating Procedure” (SOP) issued by dated 28.09.2018 stated as under:

4. When tax deduction is not required to be made under GST Tax deduction is not required in following situations:

i. where the payment is made to an unregistered dealer

2.10 Given the aforesaid, we submit that TDS may not be deductible in the instant case and thus, TDS may not be deducted.

Gross Turnover of each co-owners does not exceed threshold and thus, is exempt for registration u/s  22(1) of the GST Act, 2017

2.11 Applicant further submits that each co-owner receives rent, proportionate to his/her share in the immovable property and the income tax authority assesses them separately on the income so received. Merely because several persons jointly own an immovable property they cannot, therefore, be treated as ‘an association of persons or a body of individuals’. The co-owners, including the Applicant, have not been considered ‘an association of persons or a body of individuals for the purpose of income Tax. These co-owners have not formed any association to provide taxable service.

2.12 The Kerala AAR has answered a question similar to the one the Applicant has raised [Elambrancheri Khaldoon, 2018 (18) GSTL 152 (AAR – GST)) = 2018-TIOL-187-AAR-GST. It ruled that the threshold exemptions will be applicable on individual earnings of the co-owners who are participants in a jointly held property.

2.13 Further, the decision in the case of M/s. SRI RABI SANKAR TAH [2019-TIOL-418-AAR-GST] Case No. 34 of 2019 wherein; it was held that “The Applicant and the other two co-owners cannot be treated as an association of persons and, therefore, as a person defined under section 2(84X0 of the GST Act, where their income from renting is separately ascertainable and assessed for income tax individually at the hand of each co-owner. Whether the Applicant is required to be registered under section 22(1) of the GST Act will, therefore, depend on his gross turnover, ascertained separately from the other co-owners, exceeding the threshold as provided under the Act.”

2.14 Given the aforesaid, TDS is not liable to be deducted in the instant case.

ADDITIONAL SUBMISSIONS DATED 08.10.2021:-

2.15  As per the provisions of Notification No 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017, Pure services (excluding works contract service or other composite supplies involving supply of any goods) provided to the Central Government, State Government or Union territory or local authority or a Governmental authority by way of any activity in relation to any function entrusted to a Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.

c. Service provided should be by way of any activity in relation to any function entrusted to a Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.

2.16    In this regard, applicant submits that the services provided are, renting of immovable property services and thus, it is a pure service (as no specific goods are supplied). Further, the services are set gilygovuNSamaj Kalyan Vibhag of State Government of Maharashtra (Social Welfare Department).

2.17 Additionally, Article 243G of Constitution of India provides as under:

“243G. Power authority and responsibilities of Panchayats.

(a) the preparation of plans for economic development and social justice;

(b) the implementation of schemes for economic development and social justice as may be entrusted to them including those in relation to the matters listed in the Eleventh Schedule.”

2.18 In this regard, the Eleventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution covers following, which could be relevant for discussion under consideration:

“ELEVENTH SCHEDULE (Article 243G)

1. ….

25. Women and Child development

26. Social welfare, including welfare of handicapped and mentally retarded.

TWELFTH SCHEDULE (Article 243W)

“1. ….

3. planning for economic and social development

9. Safeguarding the interest of weaker sections of society including handicapped and mentally retarded

10 …”

2.21  In the instant case the State Government is taking the property of rent for welfare of under- privileged section of the society and in particular, girls. Thus, as the services are provided to ‘Samaj Kalyan Vibhag’ for “Magasvargiya Mulinche Shashkiya Vastigruha” the services will be covered under the functions entrusted under Article 243W and / or 243G.

2.22  Given the aforesaid, as the services are covered under the Sr. No. 3 of Notification No 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017 (as amended from time to time), the said services are exempt from GST.

2.23 Section 51 of CGST Act, 2017 is applicable in case of payment made or credited to the supplier (hereafter in this section referred to as “the deductee”) of taxable goods or services or both. Hence, unless the supply is “taxable”, the provisions of Section 51 of CGST Act will not be applicable.

2.24  Additionally, applicant is not registered for GST purposes (as applicant has exempt income). In this regard, the Law Committee of GST Council, through a “Standard Operating Procedure” (SOP) issued by dated 28.09.2018 had clarified that Tax deduction is not required in cases where the payment is made to an unregistered dealer”. Hence, TDS is not liable to be deducted in the instant case.

4.2 The application was admitted and called for final e-hearing on 07.09.2021. Shri Pritam Mahure, CA and Authorized Representative, appeared made oral and written submissions. Jurisdictional Officer appeared and requested for time to make submissions.

4.3 We heard both the sides.

05. OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS:

5.1  We have perused the documents on record and gone through the facts of the case and the submissions both oral and written, made by the applicant. The applicant redrafted the questions raised by her vide e-mail dated 27.09.2021.

5.2 The applicant is a co-owner of immovable property situated in Nashik. The details of the plot are mentioned in the subject application. During the course of the hearing the applicant submitted that a building has been constructed on the plots owned by the applicant along with other co-owners and the said building is given on lease to the ‘Samaj Kalyan Vibhag’ (Department of Social Welfare) of the State Government of Maharashtra for “Magasvargiya Mulinche Shashkiya Vastigruha” (Government Hostel for Girls from the Backward class). Thus, the applicant has submitted that the building constructed on the plots is used as a government residential accommodation for housing girls from the backward class, by the Government of Maharashtra.

5.3.1 The first revised question asked is, whether the services provided by the applicant to Samaj Kalyan Department, State Government of Maharashtra (Social Welfare Department) for residential accommodation of underprivileged girls is exempt from GST.

5.3.2   We observe that, the first question pertains to liability of GST on the applicant, i.e. whether applicant  is taxable or exempt under the GST Laws.

5.3.3 The applicant has  submitted that the total amount received by her along with Mr. Sagar Borade, co-owner  in the per annum is Rs. 31.13 lakhs to be distributed between both of them in the ratio 50: 50. Thus the amount received by the applicant is below the threshold amount above which liability to pay GST accrues. It is seen from the submission that there is an overlapping of plot numbers in respect of five co -owners for example applicant has mentioned that plot nos. 2 & 3, belongs to her along with Mr. Sagar borade. However, it is seen that the said plot nos. 3 belong to other co-owners also. the applicant has not made any detailed submission stating the  actual percentage of the owner/co-owners in the said property. We therefore do not address the said submissions made by the applicant in support of being below threshold GST turnover limit due to non-submission of details.

5.3.4 The applicant, vide additional submissions dated 08.10.2021, has also submitted that the impugned supply undertaken by her is exempt under the provisions of Notification No 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017 because she is rendering pure services to Samaj Kalyan Vibhag (Social Welfare Department) of State Government of Maharashtra in relation to any function entrusted to a Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.

5.3.5 The relevant provisions of Notification No 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017 are reproduced as under:-

SI.
No.
Chapter, Section, Heading, Group or Service Code (Ta riff) Description of Services Rate (per cent.) Condition
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
3. Chapter 99 Pure services (excluding works contract service  or other composite   supplies     involving   supply of any goods) provided to the Central Government, State Government or Union territory or local authority or a Governmental authority by way of any activity in relation to any function entrusted to a Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution. Nil Nil

5.3.6 To answer the query of the applicant regarding the admissibility of entry no. (3) of Notification No 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017 in the subject case we need to find

a. Whether the subject supply is a supply of pure services

b. Provided to the central Government, State Government or Union Territory or local authority or a Government authority

c. by way of any activity in relation to any function entrusted to a Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.

5.3.7 Schedule II of the CGST Act, 2017 sets out the activities which are to be treated as supply of goods or supply of service wherein “renting of immovable property” is treated as supply of service.

5.3.8 Thus, we find that in the instant case, the supply of leasing of immovable properties by the applicant is a supply of services. The applicant has submitted that there is no supply of goods whatsoever, along with the supply of leasing services in the subject case and therefore we conclude that the subject activity is a supply of pure services (condition ‘a’ mentioned in para 5.3.6 is satisfied).

5.3.9 Further, we observe that the said pure services are supplied to a department of the State Government and therefore we are of the opinion that the said pure services are rendered to the State Government. Thus condition ‘b’ mentioned in para 5.3.6 is also satisfied.

5.3.10 Further, the third condition of Entry No. (3) Of Notification No 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017 is that pure services should be provided to a Government Entity, etc., by way of any activity in relation to any function entrusted to a Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.

5.3.11 Article 243W of the Indian Constitution states as under:

“Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the Legislature of a State may, by law, endow:-

(a)  The Municipalities with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as institutions of self-government and such law may contain provisions for the devolution of powers and responsibilities upon Municipalities, subject to such conditions as maybe specified herein, with respect to-

i. The preparation of plans for economic development and social justice;

ii. The performance of functions and the implementation of schemes as may be entrusted to them including those in relation to matters listed in the twelfth Schedule.

(b) The Committees with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to carry out  the responsibility conferred upon them including those in relation to the matters listed,in the Twelfth Schedule.”

Twelfth Schedule of the Indian Constitution provides for the following functions (relevant) as under:

(1) …..

(3) Planning for economic and social development

(9) Safeguarding the interest of weaker sections of society, including handicapped and mentally retarded

5.3.12 Further, Article 243G of the Indian Constitution states as under:

“Article 243G. Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the Legislature of a State may, by law, endow the Panchayats with such powers and authority and may be necessary to enable them to function as institutions of self-government and such law may contain provisions for the devolution of powers and responsibilities upon Panchayats at the appropriate level, subject to such conditions as may be specified therein, with respect to —

(a) The preparation of plans for economic development  and social justice;

(b) The implementation of schemes for economic  development and social justice as may be entrusted to them including those in relation to the matter listed in the eleventh Schedule.”

Article 243G of the Constitution refers to a list of functions enumerated in the Eleventh schedule. Entries 26 and 27 of the Eleventh schedule which is relevant states the following:

26. Social welfare, including welfare of handicapped and mentally retarded.

27. Welfare of weaker sections, and of scheduled castes and the scheduled tribes.

5.3.13 The applicant has submitted that the Samaj kalyan Vibhag of the Government of Maharashtra has taken the immovable property on rent from the applicant to house the girls from the backward class communities which can be considered as a welfare measure undertaken by the Government for the under-privileged section of the society. Other than making this statement, the applicant has not submitted any evidence or submissions to state as to how her activities are covered under Article 243G/243W of the Constitution. There are no submissions made to show that the impugned services are supplied by the applicant by way of any activity in relation to any function entrusted to a Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.

5.3.14 Given the aforesaid, we find that even though the applicant as per her submission is supplying pure services,  in light of insufficient material on record, it is not possible for us to find whether the said services are supplied by the applicant by way of any activity in relation to any function entrusted to a  Panchayat under article 243G of the Constitution or in relation to any function entrusted  to a Municipality under article 243W of the Constitution.

5.3.15 Hence, in view of the above, the renting of immovable property services by the applicant is not liable for exemption under the provisions of Entry No. (3) Of Notification No 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017.

5.4.1 The second question raised by the applicant is whether TDS provisions will be applicable in case where the supply of services is exempt.

5.4.2 We have already held above that the impugned services supplied by the applicant are liable to tax and therefore not exempt. Thus the TDS provisions under the relevant section 51 of the GST Act are applicable in the subject case.

5.5.1 Question No. 3:- “As the Applicant is not r egistered under GST and provide services to Social Welfare Department (Samaj Kalyan Department), a Department of State Government, then whether TDS notification issued under section 51 would be applicable for deduction of TDS?

5.5.2 As discussed above TDS notification issued under section 51 would be applicable for deduction of TDS in the subject case.

5.6.1 The fourth question raised by the applicant in case TDS is deducted, whether applicant would be entitled for refund of the same?

5.6.2 The said question pertains to entitlement of refund and is not covered under Section 97 of the CGST Act, 2017 and therefore we refrain from answering this question.

06. In view of the extensive deliberations as held hereinabove, we pass an order as follows:
