Fits, the provision of hostel accommodation alongwith ancilary fcites falls under ‘Supply as defined under Section 7 of the GST Act, 2017 whichis as under (1) For the purposos ofthis Act, the expression “supply” includes (a) all forms of supply of goods or services or both such as sal, transfer barter, exchange, license, renal, lease or disposal made or agraed to be made fora consideration by a person inthe course or furtherance of business: [As the applicant is supplying accommodation services along wih some ancilary services fora consideration (Rs. Less than 1000)- per day), and charges are callected on yearly bass from the stugerts, the activity falls under the definition of supp. 4, Now, asthe supply involves multiple services, the issue has to be examined whetner the aforesaid supply is a Composite Supply or a Mixed Supaly. Section 2(20) of GST Ac, 2017 defines ‘composts supply’ as under “composite supply’ means @ supply made by a taxable person toa recipient consisting of two or more taxable supplies of goods or services ‘or both, oF any combination thereat, which are natueally bundled and supplied in conjunction wih each other in the ordinary course of business, one of which is principal supply We find that essential components of a composi supply are as under- two or mre taxable supplies; — services should be naturally bundled: ~ supplied in ordinary course of business one of the supply out of whole shouldbe a principal suply. 5. Since, bundiinglNaturaly bundled service has not been defined in GST law, hence, reference can be taken from CBEC Education Guide Issvec in 2012 after introduction of negative lst in erstwhile Service Tax regime when concept of bundling was introduced for tye frst time. The relevant extracts of the Guide are reproduced below: ~ "Bundled service’ means a bundle of provision of various services where in an element of provision of one service is combined wih an lament ar slements of provision of any other service or services. An example f ‘bundled service! would be alr transpart services provided by airings wherein an element of tansportation of passenger by alr combined with an element of provision af catering sevice on boar Each service invalves diferential treatment as a manner of determination of value of two services forthe purpose of charging service taxis afore. Tho rule is —" various elements ofa bundled service aro naturally bundled in the ordinary course of business, i shall be single service which gives such buncle its essential character tod as provision ofa 6, Whether services are bundled in the ordinary course of business or not would depend upon the normal ar frequent practices followed inthe area of business to which services relate. Such normal and frequent practices adopted in a business can be ascertained from many indicators some of which ae listed below: — |The perception ofthe consumer or the service receiver. large numberof service recelvers of such bundle of services reasor-ably expect sch services tobe provided as a package, then such a package could be treated as naluraly bundled inthe ordinary course of business. ii Majorty of service providers in a paricular area of business provide simlar bundle of services W The nature ofthe various services in a bundle of services wil also help in determining whether the services are bundled in the ordinary course of business We find that naturally bundled services are those services wherein one ofthe services is the main service and the other services combined with such service are inthe nature of incidental or ancilary services which help in better enjoyment of a main service, I curent nature of supply of services is tested based on above factors, ican be ascertained thatthe provision of hostel accommodation coulé be «8 principal supply but ancilary services Ike food cannat be said to arise naturally with the principal service of hostel accommodation anc therefore ae not bundled naturally with principal supply 7. tn view of the above, we find thatthe said supply is nat a Composite Supply, therefore, the facis ofthe case can be examined in respect of ‘Mixed Supply Mixed Supply has been defined in Section 2(74) of GST Act, 2017 as below (74) "mixed supply" means two or more individual supplies of goods or services, or any combination thereat made in conjunction with each ‘ther by a taxable person fora single pice where such supply does not constute @ composts supply. hitps:/taxgurainlgoads-and:-servicetaxigst-payable-hostel services ody. education foundalion-aarhiml 724 5115725, 606 Pat {GST payable on Hostel Services by Mody Education Foundation: AAR IMustration.-A supply of a package consisting of canned foods, sweets, chocolates, cakes, dry fut, aerated drnks anc fruit juices when supplied for a single pice is a mixed supply, Each ofthese items can be supplied separately and isnot dependent on any ater.
