This article contains place of supply rule for Goods in very simple language. 

GST is primarily a destination-based consumption tax though there are occasions where it can be origin-based or the place of origin and destination may be same. This, in simple terms, means that the tax collected on supply of goods should accrue to the jurisdiction or State in which those goods are consumed. Elaborate rules have been made for determining place of supply of goods based on the nature of supplies.

The place of supply of goods, other than supply of goods imported into, or exported from India, shall be as under :
Sec. Particulars Place of Supply

Ex: A of Mumbai sells TV to B of Gujarat and TV is to delivered in Gujarat. The place of supply is Gujarat as goods involve movement of goods from Mumbai to Gujarat.

10(1)(c) Supply involves movement of Goods. Location of goods at the time of delivery to the recipient. (Over the counter sale are covered under this section.)
