ABC Limited is a government company with 100 percent shares owned by State Government. They provide supervison services for Construction of Roads, Bridges. For this they receive a certain percentage of the Civil Works as CENTAGE. So basically what happens, A Contractor XYZ Ltd for the construction services raises a Tax Invoice in the name of ABC Ltd. Suppose for Rs 100 they raised a Tax Invoice and charged 18 percent GST on it and the total Invoice Values becomes 118. Now considering Rs 100 as the civil works value ABC Ltd books a centage Income of 8 Rupees in their books. This will be paid by the concerned road construction department. Now does ABC Ltd requires to pay GST on this 8 rupees i.e. Centage Income. If no, why? If yes, then can ITC of Rs 18 be claimed?

A registered person runs a restaurant and a guesthouse on the same premises. The restaurant pays GST at 5% without ITC. Rent of ?60,000 is paid for both under a single bill, with GST under RCM at 18% (?10,800). In this case, which option is more suitable for claiming ITC for the guesthouse portion? Option 1: Based on the ratio of outward supply. Option 2: Specify separate rent for the guesthouse and restaurant in the rent agreement, obtain two invoices, and claim ITC of GST paid under RCM for the guesthouse rent. Suggestions are welcome!

I have 6 years of experience in practice as a Chartered Accountant under a proprietorship concern. I am exclusively associated with my firm. A fellow CA, who is also exclusively associated, has 3 years of experience. We are not in a partnership—my firm is still registered as a proprietorship concern. As per the eligibility norms for empanelment of audit firms , under **Category IV**, it appears that a proprietorship concern can be eligible for bank audits with **2 CAs exclusively associated** with the firm, without needing to convert to a partnership firm. Can someone please clarify: - How can a proprietorship concern have 2 CAs exclusively associated, as required under Category IV? - Is it acceptable under ICAI/empanelment rules for a second full-time CA to be employed or associated in a proprietorship concern without converting into a partnership firm? - If the answer is to appoint as an employee, then can my friend continue with his Propeitorship Concer? Your insights would be appreciated!
