No GST applicable on rental of 'sarais' under religious or charitable trust: CBIC

The Union Finance Ministry on Thursday said 'sarais' run by religious or charitable trusts are exempt from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) irrespective of rent. Certain 'sarais' managed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) on their own started collecting GST for rents up to Rs 1,000 per day after the decisions on the recommendations of the 47th GST Council meeting came into effect from July 18, 2022.
