As per 32nd Council meet, it is understood that Registered dealers falling under MSME definition are only eligible for the benefit of increased turnover limit for registration. What is applicable MSME definition as of now? I came to know that there is a proposal for change of MSME definition from the concept of investment in plant and machinery to gross receipts. Could you pl update in the light of the MSME definition? If the old definition is still in force, then all the professionals whose investment in plant and machinery i.e A/C and other fittings are less than the prescribed limits would be covered for the enhanced turnover limits?
Nothing has been notified in this regard. It is only recommended at the council meeting. the same shall be applicable only after notification.

If the majority of the clientele is registered under GST, then definitely the proposed composition scheme for service providers shall not be of any use as the clients would rather prefer obtaining a regular tax invoice to claim an input tax credit
Yes, true

If automotive tyre, tube and flap are sold in SET (which is the practice followed for decades) the GST rate is 28%. If Tube and Flap are sold in a loose condition, the rate is 18%. How can one item have two different rates? There should be a different HSN code for THE SET OF TYRE, TUBE AND FLAP to avoid this problem, especially for Tally users. Do you have a better suggestion, Sir? Thanks
There is different HSN code for three items. But if you sold them in the set, such supply shall be considered as mixed supply and rate of GST shall be higher of three i.e. 28%, but if they are sold in loose condition each will attract a different rate of its own. In both, the condition only tax rate changes but HSN code are different for all three.
