Whether onion is dehydrated or not ? Pl. clarify.

namaste sir. not dried or not subjected to any type of processing. purchaged straight from agricultural market. and please suggest about freight expenses paid to transport of aqua feed (prawn feed which is exempted under gst ) also .

thanking you

Onion (unprocessed) is an agriculture produce. Transportation of agriculture produce by road is exempted from GST vide Notification No.12/17-CT(R) as amended.(Serial No.21). Pl note that GTA services are taxable even if exempted goods are transported subject to certain conditions/factors.

Aqua/Prawn feed is another issue. Pl.elaborate how it is linked to onion.

respected sir,

thanks for your kind information. please clarify whether exemption for payment of gst under rcm available only for agricultural produce or for all exempted goods like aqua feed etc .please discuss

thanking you

Specific exemption for GTA service is available. For example milk, vegetable, pulses, food grain flour, organic manure, Defence equipment etc.

If goods are exempted from GST, that will not be the criteria for availing exemption from GST for providing GTA Services.

In order to clarify further, No exemption from GST for GTA service ia available to aqua feed (though exempted goods)
