27 February 2024 Assessee is a partnership firm providing warehousing services, like storage, fumigation, loading and unloading etc., of food grains, to Food Corporation of India.

Can he claim exemption under GST based on entry no.54(e) of notification 12/2017 or entry no.24(e) of notification 11/2017?

Whether AAR decision in the case of Samco Logistics LLP where GST is decided as applicable will be pertinent to this case?

Whether any of the above AAR is applicable? Whether there is a condition that warehousing services to be directly provided to the farmer or whether warehousing services to FCI is also covered under abovementioned notifications?
