- Not all ongoing or long-term services are automatically classified as “continuous supply of services” under GST.
- Classification as continuous supply requires four conditions: continuous/recurrent provision, a contract, contract duration over three months, and periodic payment obligations.
- This classification affects invoicing timing, tax liability, and compliance; incorrect classification can lead to premature tax, interest, and disputes.
- Section 2(33) of the CGST Act provides the legal definition and criteria for continuous supply of services.
