Whether a Government company is required to deduct GST TDS on payment of premium towards employees Group Term Life Insurance and Group Health Insurance policies procured from a private insurance company ?

An employee is transferred from Mumbai (Head Office) to Gujarat (Factory). The Head Office in Mumbai pays the transportation charges to a GTA for shifting the employee’s household goods from Mumbai to Gujarat.

Whether GST is payable under Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) in this case?

If RCM is applicable and GST is paid by the Head Office, whether ITC of such tax paid under RCM is available, or will it be blocked under Section 17(5) as personal consumption?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am seeking your expert opinion regarding the correct GST applicability, rate, and HSN classification for one of our products.
We are dealing with a product named “Millet-Based Probiotic Drink”, which is a packaged, non-alcoholic, fermented beverage made from millets, containing live probiotics. It is marketed as a spicy digestive/probiotic health drink, with zero sugar and zero preservatives.
There is confusion regarding whether this product should be classified as:
• a non-alcoholic beverage under Chapter 22, or
• a functional / probiotic / nutraceutical product under any other appropriate heading,
and accordingly, whether the applicable GST rate should be 5%, 12%, 18% or any other rate.

We request your guidance on:
1. The most appropriate HSN code for this product,
2. The correct GST rate applicable, and
3. Any relevant notifications, circulars, or case laws supporting the classification.
Your professional clarification will help us ensure correct compliance and avoid future disputes.
Looking forward to your valuable advice.

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
This query is pertaining to AY 2024-25.
I had filed the return u/s139(1) under old regime where I had claimed 100% deduction for donation made to "The National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities constituted under sub-section (1) of section 3 of the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999". However, few days ago I have received an SMS alert from the income tax department saying that "Our records show that you claimed charitable/relief fund donation deductions in your AY 2024-25 ITR. However, based on the PAN you provided, the organisation you donated to may not be eligible for the deduction you claimed.

You need to update your ITR to either add the correct PAN or remove the deduction. To do this,visit https://www.incometax.gov.in. Once logged in, navigate to “e-File” → “File Income Tax Return → “Select Assessment Year” → “Select Filing Type” → choose “139(8A) - Updated Return” → “ Select ITR Type” → “Continue” and update section 80G/80GGC".
As per the provisions of section 80G, donation to the above entity is eligible for 100% deduction.
Now I am getting a tax payable along with interest u/234A, 234B and 234C to pay the tax on this donation amount.
Can anyone please guide me how to resolve this query.
Also is there any way in which I can verify the PAN of the Donee Entity.
