The company is providing grocery, vegetable and milk required for running the factory. The labour contractor is engaged for canteen services. The company is recovered part of the amount from employees and contribute part of the amount.

Request expert opinion on the applicability of GST for the above as there is big confusion because of the following :

1. Section 7 of GST - Supply to related party and distinct person

3. Clarification given to section 17 (5) (b) GST ITC is allowed if the company provides food to meet statutory obligation.
4. Advance ruling confirming GST for canteen food and confirmation by adjudicating advance rule authority for the same
