[Grammar] hardness in Interpretation of Status

[sssvksridhra]

Dear All,

Particular section in GST Act 2017, an Act in India, reads as under.

The place of supply of telecommunication services including data transfer, broadcasting, cable and direct to home television services to any person shall, in case of mobile connection for telecommunication and internet services provided on post-paid basis, be the location of billing address of the recipient of services on the record of the supplier of services.

Should I interpret:

as,

In case of:
a. mobile connection for telecommunication (case 01)
b. mobile connection for internet services (case 02)
provided on post-paid basis.

(or)

In case of:
a. mobile connection for telecommunication (case 01)
b. Internet services (case 02)
provide on post-paid Basis.


Thanks in advance.

Ouch! Isn't English a bear?

There's no way to know. It's written poorly. Very, very poorly. Tragically, terminally poorly.

It could mean either one. It could also mean in case of:

a. mobile connection for telecommunication and
b. internet services provided on post-paid basis . . . .

or

a. mobile connection for telecommunication on post-paid basis and
b. internet services provided on post-paid basis . . . .

So interpret it any way you want. And expect to be charged a lot for the service, no matter what.

By the way, there's no need to need to say "Thanks in advance." It's obviously in advance. Just say "Thanks" or "Thank you."

As they're talking about the place of supply being the billing address, I would think that they are talking about mobile connection for the internet, and both post-paid.

You send the bill to the address of the person who uses the service, right?
