Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
(i) When service by way of organization of an event is provided to a registered person, place of supply is the location of such person in terms of section 12 of the IGST Act, 2017. Since, in the given case, the award functions at New Delhi and Singapore are organized for Mohini Jewellers (registered in Chennai), place of supply in both the cases is the location of Mohini Jewellers, i.e. Chennai, Tamil Nadu. (ii) As per section 12 of the IGST Act, 2017, when service by way of organization of an event is provided to an unregistered person, the place of supply is the location where the event is actually held and if the event is held outside India, the place of supply is the location of recipient. Since, in the given case, the service recipient [Dr. Srashti] is unregistered and event is held in India, place of supply is the location where the event is actually held, i.e. Mumbai, Maharashtra. (iii) As per section 13 of the IGST Act, 2017, place of supply of services requiring physical presence of goods on which the services are to be performed is the location where the service is actually performed. Thus, in given case, the place of supply of installation service, which requires the physical presence of machinery, is the location where the service is actually performed, i.e. New Delhi. (iv) As per section 13 of the IGST Act, 2017, place of supply of services supplied directly in relation to an immovable property is the location of immovable property located or intended to be located. Thus, in given case, the place of supply is the location of immovable property, i.e. Pune. (v) As per section 13 of the IGST Act, 2017, place of supply of services consisting of hiring of means of transport, including yachts but excluding aircrafts and vessels, up to a period of 1 month is the location of the supplier of services. Thus, in given case, the place of supply is the location of the supplier of services, i.e. London.
