Examine the existence of "consideration" for donation received by charitable institutions from individual donors, without quid pro quo an important feature as defined in section 2(31) of the CGST Act, 2017.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Donations received by the charitable institutions from individual donors are treated as consideration only if there exists, quid pro quo, i.e., there is an obligation on part of recipient of the donation or gift to do anything. If the name of the donor is displayed in charitable institution's premises as an expression of gratitude and public recognition of his act of philanthropy and is not aimed at advertising or promotion of his business, there is no supply for the payment in the form of donation.
