Hi
Please let us know whether you're registered under GST. If you're not registered, there shall be no refund/claim of GST that has been paid.
This is a litigative matter. There has been divergent views on the same. There is no case law yet in favor or against.
Some experts are of the view that since this is a part of employer employee relationship, no GST shall be levied.
On the other hand, other experts argue that it is agreeing to the obligation to refrain from an Act or situation or to do an Act" specified under schedule II. And thus, opting out of the employer employee relationship.
Being a debatable issue, it is advisable to pay GST.
