22. Eligibility for Composition Scheme to dealers when they are receiving Interest Income.

Section 10(2)(a) of CGST Act, 2017 provides that the registered person shall be eligible to
opt under sub-section (1), if he is not engaged in the supply of services other than supplies
referred to in clause (b) of paragraph 6 of Schedule II.

Issue

Interest received on any amount appears to be a service and has been provided exemption
under the exemption notification. Therefore, there is a doubt that in case dealer receives
interest then he may not be eligible for composition scheme.

Suggestion

It is suggested that it be suitably clarified that in case a dealer receives interest the he
would be eligible for opting Composition Scheme. Similar clarity is also required for
inclusion/exclusion of non-operational income e.g. interest/dividend while calculating
aggregate turnover for computing limit of Rs. 20 L for registration purpose under Section 22 & Section 24 of CGST Act,2017
