<div style="text-align: justify;">
  The Goods and Services Tax, GST, has replaced all other types of indirect
  taxes applicable on goods and services. Instead of VAT, service tax, etc., a
  single GST is charged on the value of goods and services. There are different
  GST rates applicable for different types of goods and services. However, in
  some instances, no GST is levied. Non-application of GST is called GST
  exemption. This exemption is available for specific businesses, goods and
  services.

  <h2><b>GST exemption for businesses</b></h2>
  <div>
    Small and medium scale businesses can enjoy GST exemptions if their
    aggregate turnover is up to a specified limit. When the GST Act was
    launched, this limit was INR 20 lakhs for individuals and businesses and INR
    10 lakhs for hilly states and North-eastern States of India. However, in the
    32nd GST Council Meeting, which was held in January 2019, the limits have
    been changed. These limits are as follows –
  </div>
  <div>
    <ul>

        Businesses and individuals who are supplying goods can claim GST
        exemption if their aggregate turnover is less than INR 40 lakhs in a
        financial year.
      </li>
      <li>
        For hilly and north-eastern States of India, the limit has been revised
        to INR 20 lakhs.

        up to INR 10 lakhs, businesses and individuals supplying services can
        claim GST exemptions.
      </li>

  <div>
    Hilly and north-eastern States would include Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and
    Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Tripura, Nagaland, Sikkim,
    Meghalaya, Mizoram, Assam and Manipur.
  </div>
  <div><br /></div>

    all types of taxable supplies, inter-state supplies, exempt supplies and the
    goods and services which have been exported. The following, would, however,
    be deducted from the value of aggregate turnover –
  </div>

  <h2><b>GST Exemption on services</b></h2>
  <div>
    Just like specific goods, specific services are also GST exempt. There are
    three types of supply of services which would qualify for GST exemption.
    These include the following –
  </div>
  <div>
    <ul>
      <li>Supplies which have a 0% tax rate</li>
      <li>
        Supplies which do not attract CGST or IGST due to the provisions stated
        in a notification which amends either Section 11 of CGST Act or Section
        6 of IGST Act
      </li>
      <li>
        Supplies which are defined under Section 2(78) of the GST Act which are
        not taxable.
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div>
    Since these types of supplies are GST exempt, any Input Tax Credit which is
    applicable on these supplies would not be available to utilise or set off
    the GST liability.
  </div>
  <div><br /></div>
  <div>
    Moreover, even under supply of services, there can be two types of GST
    exemptions which are as follows –
  </div>
  <div>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Absolute exemption wherein the service would be exempted from GST
        without any conditions
      </li>
      <li>
        Conditional exemption or partial exemption wherein exemption is granted
        based on a condition. This condition states that if the service is
        supplied intra-State or if the service is supplied by a registered
        person to an unregistered one, GST would be exempted if the total value
        of such supplies received by a registered person is not more than INR
        5000/day.
