04 December 2021 If Mr A is an employee as per the contract between Mr A and university then GST not payable otherwise if it cannot be established that Mr A is an employee then GST is applicable. Since you have mentioned that it is on honorarium it doesn't seem that there is employee-employer relationship. GST will be applicable.
