(b) Decide with reason whether following independent transactions amount to supply or not as per the provisions of the GST law: (i) Lending of securities under the Securities Lending Scheme is not a transaction in securities as it does not involve disposal of securities. It is not excluded from the definition of services and amounts to supply. Consequently, lending of securities for consideration to Kala Enterprise amounts to supply.

Further, supply of goods by Tanishk to the customer for consideration amounts to supply. (iii) Since any amount paid by employer to employee for not joining a competing business is paid for providing the service of forbearance to act to refrain cannot be considered for providing services in the course of employment, amount received by Miss Unnati from Sambhavna Limited amounts to supply under the GST law.
