Circulars GST - States

The circular regularizes GST payment on two insurance-related transactions from July 1, 2017 to October 31, 2024 on an "as is where is" basis. Effective November 1, 2024, Schedule III of the CGST Act was amended to exclude: (1) premium apportionment by lead insurers to co-insurers, provided the lead insurer pays GST on the entire premium; and (2) services by insurers to reinsurers where ceding/reinsurance commission is deducted from reinsurance premium, provided the reinsurer pays GST on the gross reinsurance premium inclusive of commission. This implementation follows recommendations from the 53rd GST Council meeting and applies uniformly across Goa's GST framework.
