HC stays GST notices issued by Kaloji varsity
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Monday stayed the demand notices issued by Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, as to not to insist on nursing colleges affiliated to it to pay GST for the services rendered by the university. The varsity issued notices to nursing colleges as it was asked by GST authorities to pay 9 per cent CGST and 9 per cent SGST for the services and charges collected for inspection of affiliated colleges, and monitoring their admissions, conducting exams. Care Nursing College and others approached the High Court against the ‘illegal’ demand as in the 25th meeting of GST Council it was decided to recommend that services relating to admission to, or conduct of examination provided to all educational institutions, be exempt. Gaddam Srinivas, counsel for the college, argued that the university had very casually and without even contesting the suggestive demand made by GST authorities, issued demand notices to colleges.
