While these accounts are not part of sales or purchase transactions, GST may still be applicable under certain conditions.

Investments | Generally, GST does not apply, except for certain services like mutual fund management fees |
Loans & Advances | If an interest-bearing loan is given without a proper agreement, GST may apply |
