  1. DIKSHAY says:

    Whether we are required to show interest income earned on loans advanced in case of NBFC in GSTR 1. And if Yes, then under what head – Nil Rated or Exempted or Non GST

  2. U Deivanayagam says:

    Bajaj Finance Limited extended Non secured Loan to us.
    BFL deducted Bounce charges/Penal interest charges with GST. BFL is not issued any GST invoice for the same. If we get the GST invoice we can claim Input tax credit. BFL regretted our request for GST Invoice. What may be the reason ?

  3. CA. M. Lakshmanan says:

    As of now the Service Tax is not applicable if the gross receipts by way of charges collected (other than interest) is less than Rs. 10 Lakhs. Under GST also it will be applicable if the gross receipts collected as charges (other than interest) exceeds Rs. 20 Lakhs. Am I correct?
