MAHARASHTRA AUTHORITY FOR ADVANCE RULING
GOODS AND SERVICES TAX
Case Name: M/s. The Poona Club Ltd. (GST AAR Maharashtra)
Advance Ruling No. GST-ARA- 123/2019-20/B-12
Date of Judgement/Order: 31/01/2022
Important Para 5.4.8
Therefore, in view of the amended Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, we find that the applicant club and its members are distinct persons and the fees received by the applicant, from its members are nothing but consideration received for supply of goods/services as a separate entity. The principles of mutuality, which has been cited by the applicant to support its contention that it is not rendering any supply to its members and GST is not leviable on the fees collected from its members, is not applicable in view of the amended Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017 and therefore, the applicant has to pay GST on the said amounts received from its members.
