Sir,

May refer to this office letter daled 22.07.2019 wherein it had been requested to examine the
admissibility of the claims of VML towards G.S.T & Service Tax and convey necessary directions ts this office
for taking further action.
it is again informed that VML is constantly making claims related to payment of GST,
In this regard,
Servlce Tax against their procurement operations undertaken during the KMS 2015-!6 to 2OL7-18 & this
office had examined their claims earlier & found the same to be not admissible as per the FCI letter issued
under Ref: F-19/GSI/2077-78/Part-lll dated L6.O2.20L8 (for GST) & Gol guidelines / circulars (for Service Tax).
Meanwhile, in the minutes of the meeting held on 19.06.2019, it had been informed that Hqrs Procurement
Division letter issued under Ref. No. Proc. l/23(8\/U.P./2017-18/Pvt. Players dated 28.12.2018 be referred to
wherein detailed instructions were issued and decide the case accordingly. The aforesaid letter had been
duly examined by Regional Finance Division & the stand of this office remains the same as communicated
vide letters dated 13.06.2019 & 22.07.2079.
However, for the sake of clarity, the position of this office is again reproduced below.

. GST - lt has been informed by FCI Hqrs that as per tender terms, a private player is working with FCI in a
principle to principle relationship and they are treated as a supplier of goods i.e. supply of rice. Under GST
law, rice is exempted and accordingly, no GST is applicable on the amount of rice bills submitted by the
private playerto FCl. Hence,this office has not regardedthe claims of VMLtowards GSTastenable. Copyof
FCI Hqrs letter attached.

SERVICE TAX - ln this regard, it is informed that Service Tax ls an exempted category under Sr No.30 (a) of
Mega Exemption Notification 25/2012-5T dated 20.06.20L2 & Circular No: 177/03/2014-5T dated
17.02.2014 since milling of paddy is an intermediate production process in relation to agriculture. Hence,
this office has not regarded the claims of VML towards Service Tax as tenable. Copy of circulars attached.
Therefore, it is again requested to kindly examine the admissibility,of the above claims of G'S'T &

service Tax, as made by VML, and provide necessary directions for taking further
action'

Yours Sincerely,

For General Manager (Region)
