W.P. Nos.5518 & 1555 of 2020 and 27100 & 30004 of 2019

GST, various services in respect of which GST was to be levied and collected

came under the scanner. Exemptions were granted under Notification 12/17-

CT dated 28.06.2017. The Circular to the extent to which it is relevant, is extracted below:

Exemption from CGST on specified intra-State services.

In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of Section 11 of the

Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (12 of 2017), the Central

Government, on being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to

do, on the recommendations of the Council, hereby exempts the intra-State

supply of services of description as specified in column (3) of the Table below

from so much of the central tax leviable thereon under sub-section (1) of section 9 of the said Act, as is in excess of the said tax calculated at the rate as specified in the corresponding Entry in column (4) of the said Table, unless specified otherwise, subject to the relevant conditions as specified in the corresponding Entry in column (5) of the said Table namely,

month* per member for

sourcing of goods or

services from a third

person for the common use

of its members in a housing

society or a residential

complex.

* Amended to Rs.7,500/- vide Notification No.2/18 dated 25.01.2018.

4. Thus, an exemption was granted to contributions made to RWA

upto an amount of Rs.7,500 /- per month per member for sourcing of goods and

services from a third person for the common use of the members of RWA, i.e.,

housing complexes or residential complexes. Since contributions solicited

from members of RWA were on some occasions more than Rs.7,500/- as well,

one of the questions that arose was whether, in a case where the contribution

exceeded the amount of Rs.7,500/-, the resident in that RWA would lose the

entitlement to exemption altogether, as a result that the entire contribution

would be liable to GST or whether the exemption would still continue to be

available upto to a sum of Rs.7,500/- and only the difference (excess) becoming exigible to tax.

5. In the early years of GST, The Goods and Services Tax Department

issued a clarification in the case of Co-operative Housing Societies, wherein

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/

6

W.P. Nos.5518 & 1555 of 2020 and 27100 & 30004 of 2019

they categorically stated that GST would be applicable only on the amount in

excess of Rs.7,500/-. The fliers covers all Co-operative Housing Societies, in

essence, RWAs, Housing Societies or Societies in residential complexes. Thus

and since this clarification had been issued, this was the methodology that was

followed by all RWAs consistently in the collection of contributions and levy of GST thereupon.

6. While this is so and this method was being followed from 2017 till

2019, one of the petitioners, ie.,. W.P.No.27100 of 2019 approached the AAR

seeking clarification in regard to this issue. The AAR, by impugned order

dated 21.06.2019, held adverse to it stating that the grant of exemption was

conditional upon the contribution being an amount of Rs.7,500/- or less. If the

contribution exceeded the sum of Rs.7,500/-, then the very entitlement of that

RWA to exemption would stand defeated and the entirety of the amount collected would have to be brought to tax.

7. The relevant portion of the ruling of the AAR is as follows:

RULING

If a service by the applicant, a registered housing society/resident welfare association to its members by way of reimbursement of charges or share of contribution for sourcing of goods or services from a third person for the common use of its members, is such that it is above 7500 rupees per month effective from 25.01.2018 (5000 rupees before), it is not eligible S No 77 (c) of Notification No. 12/2017-C.T.

at appropriate rates are to be paid by the members on the full amount of reimbursement of charges or share of contribution,

8. Taking inspiration from this position, the impugned Circular has

come to be passed toeing the line of the AAR. The question and answer relating to this issue is extracted below:

Madam Sir,

Subject: Issues related to GST on monthly subscription/contribution charged by a Residential Welfare Association from its members – reg.

Sl. No.IssueClarification
1.…….. 
5.How should the RWA calculate GST payable where the maintenance charges exceed Rs.7500/- per month per member? Is the GST payable only on the amount exceeding Rs.7500/- or on the entire amount of maintenance charges?The exemption from GST on maintenance charges charged by a RWA from residents is available only if such charges do not exceed Rs.7500/- per month per member. In case the charges exceed Rs.7500/- per month per member, the entire amount is taxable. For example, if the maintenance charges are Rs.9000/- per month per member, GST @ 18% shall be payable on the entire amount of Rs.9000/- and not on (Rs.9000- Rs.7500) = Rs.1500/-

W.P. Nos.5518 & 1555 of 2020 and 27100 & 30004 of 2019

9. Learned counsel for the petitioner would argue that this

interpretation is contrary to the express language as well as the intendment of

the exemption granted. They take me through various instances of grant of

exemption under different Indirect Tax enactments, to illustrate the difference

in language used and the meaning conveyed. Emphasis is placed on the use of

the phrase ‘upto’ in the relevant Entry stating that the grant of exemption was

for contribution upto Rs.7,500/- and this entitlement remained constant notwithstanding any change in the amount of contribution.

10. My attention is drawn to Article 13(3) of the Constitution of India,

as per which ‘law’ would include any Ordinance or Bye law, Rule, Regulation,

Notification, custom or usage, excluding Circulars. Thus the withdrawal of a

statutory exemption by way of a Circular is contrary to the provisions of the Constitution.

11. Based on the aforesaid clarification initially issued by the

Department, the petitioner RWAs have been collecting tax only on that

component of the contribution that exceeds Rs.7,500/-. They urge that if a

contrary view were to be taken at this juncture, it would be impossible for the

Associations to collect the shortfall as there would have been several changes in ownership of the property, in the interim.

12. Learned Senior Standing Counsel appearing for the revenue would

stress on the provisions of Section 15 of the GST Act, as per which, it is the

transaction value that is liable to GST. The transaction value in this case is

represented by the contribution made and it should, in entirety, be taken into

account for the purpose of levying tax. She points out that the exemption is intended for the middle class and not for luxury apartments/their owners.

13. She compares the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Additional Sales

Tax Act, 1970 (TNAST), particularly the charging section, Section 2 to state

that where Legislature intended beneficial tax treatment by insisting upon a

slab rate, such slab is usually indicated in the Statute itself. In the case of levy of TNAST, the charge is as follows:

(3) By Act 35 of 1986, which came into force on 1 April 1986, the words ‘

three lakhs’ in sub-section (1) of this section was increased to ‘ten lakhs’

and the four slabs mentioned above were replaced by two slabs as under:-

Rate of tax

(i ) where taxable turnover exceeds ten 1.25 percent of the taxable

Lakhs of rupees but does not exceed turnover

Forty lakhs of rupees

(ii) Where the taxable turnover 1.5 percent of the taxable turnover

Forty lakhs of rupees

14. In the instant case, there is no slab prescribed, but only a range

which entitles the assessee to exemption. Any variation in that amount thus

leads to automatic disentitlement, according to her. She relies on the judgment

of the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court in the case of Commissioner

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/

W.P. Nos.5518 & 1555 of 2020 and 27100 & 30004 of 2019

of Customs Import, Mumbai V. Dilip Kumar & Company (361 ELT 577),

wherein the Supreme Court dealing with the grant of exemption from duty

under the Customs Act, 1962, holding that, in the case of ambiguity in

interpretation of a tax exemption provision or Notification in regard to its

applicability qua entitlement or rate of tax to be applied, the interpretation

should be strict and the burden of proving applicability would fall on the

assessee. In this case as well, she would say, the exemption provision must be

construed strictly and the petitioners are thus not entitled to seek beneficial treatment.

15. To summarise, her submission is that while a contribution of

Rs.7,500/- or less would entitle the concerned assessee to the grant of

exemption, if the contribution exceeded Rs.7,500/-, there was an automatic disentitlement.

16. Heard learned counsel. I am of the view that there is no ambiguity

in the language of the exemption provision in this case and thus the judgment

of the Supreme Court in Dilip Kumar (supra) would not be applicable to the

facts and circumstances of this case. The ratio of that decision would apply

only in a case where the provisions granting exemptions are ambiguous,

whereas, in the present case, the Entry, in my view, is clear and hence it is only a question of interpreting the same.

W.P. Nos.5518 & 1555 of 2020 and 27100 & 30004 of 2019

17. The intention of the Circular appears clear, that is, to grant

exemption in regard to the receipts from services that answer to the description

set out therein. The description of the services is also clear, that is, services to

the members of an unincorporated body or non-profit by way of reimbursement

of charges or share of contribution upto an amount of Rs.7,500/- in the sourcing

of goods or services from a third person for the common use of its members.

No ambiguity presents itself on a plain reading of the Entry and the intention is

clear, so as to remove from the purview of taxation contribution upto an amount of Rs.7,500/-.

18. Let me compare the Entry in question with other entries granting exemptions. The difference in language is emphasized in bold.

W.P. Nos.5518 & 1555 of 2020 and 27100 & 30004 of 2019

Government or a local authority, the exemption shall apply only where the gross amount charged for such service does not exceed Rs. 5000/- in a financial year;

19. A reading of the above extracts would indicate the difference in

language adopted by the revenue in the matter of grant of exemptions. In a case

where legislature intended that the exemption shall apply only to cases where

the amount charged does not exceed a specified pecuniary limit, it states as

much, as can be seen from the language deployed in the proviso to Clause 56 in

Notification 25 of 2012 where it is stated ‘the exemption shall apply only

where the gross amount charged for such service does not exceed Rs.5,000/- in a financial year’.

20. Then again in Notification No.12/2017 dated 28.06.2017, Entry 78, dealing with services rendered by an artist reads thus:

charged for such

performance is not more than one lakh and fifty thousand rupees:

Provided that the

exemption shall not apply to service provided by such artist as a brand

Nil Nil

21. Here too, the categorization of ‘artist’ is on the basis of the earning of

the artist, one who charges less than Rs.1.50 lakhs and one who charges more.

The intention is clear, to exempt only such consideration, which is below

Rs.1.50 lakhs. If the consideration exceeds Rs.1.50 lakhs by even a rupee, the

artist would stand elevated to the next slab, losing the benefit of exemption.

22. It is relevant to note that entries 77 and 78 are from the same circular

thus the choice of words employed is a conscious one intended to have different applications.

23. In the case of Dilip Kumar (supra), the Supreme Court reiterates the

settled proposition that an Exemption Notification must be interpreted strictly.

The plain words employed in Entry 77 being, ‘upto’ an amount of Rs.7,500/-

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/

16

W.P. Nos.5518 & 1555 of 2020 and 27100 & 30004 of 2019

can thus only be interpreted to state that any contribution in excess of the same would be liable to tax.

24. The term ‘upto’ hardly needs to be defined and connotes an upper

limit. It is interchangeable with the term ‘till ’ and means that any amount till the ceiling of Rs.7,500/- would exempt for the purposes of GST.

25. As regards the argument concerning slab rate, a slab is a measure of

determining tax liability. The prescription of a slab connotes that income upto

that slab would stand outside the purview of tax on exigible to a lower rate of

tax and income above that slab would be treated differently. The intendment of

the exemption Entry in question is simply to exempt contributions till a certain

specified limit. The clarification by the GST Department even as early as in 2017 has taken the correct view.

26. The discussion as above leaves me no doubt that the conclusion of

the AAR as well as the Circular to the effect that any contribution above

Rs.7,500/- would disentitle the RWA to exemption, is contrary to the express

language of the Entry in question and both stand quashed. To clarify, it is only

contributions to RWA in excess of Rs.7,500/- that would be taxable under GST Act.
