As per Section 12 (3) of IGST Act, it is not export of service despite the status of GST as destination based consumption tax. In this scenario, all conditions of export are not fulfilled.. Place of supply is in India Since B is also registered with the department. B is provider of service and A is the receiver of service. B will collect GST from A and will deposit with the Govt.

In simple words, a person who, de facto, makes payment is service receiver and a person who receives payment is the service provider.

In case marriage is organised, the PoS would be location of recipient as per 12(7) of the IGST Act and as per proviso to section 12(3) it will be location of recipient

In such scenario, GST liability will exist as IGST. B is the supplier who would be liable to pay the tax.

I agree with Madam Shilpi Jain.
