                       [Order]. - Proceedings : The present application has been filed under Sec-
               tion 97 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017  and the Maharashtra
               Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 [hereinafter referred to as “the CGST Act and
               MGST  Act” respectively] by  M/s. SHALINI MANISH  MITTAL  , the applicant,
               seeking an advance ruling in respect of the following question.
                       “Whether online or telephonic educational coaching from India for cor-
                       porate, individuals or any other entities residing required outside India
                       is subject to GST and if so under which category  is it taxed  and sec-
                       tion/notification covered for the same”?
               At the outset, we would like to make it clear that the provisions of both the CGST
               Act and the MGST Act are the same except for certain provisions. Therefore, un-
               less a mention is specifically made to any dissimilar provisions, a reference to the
               CGST Act would also mean a reference to the same provision under the MGST
               Act. Further to the earlier, henceforth for the purposes of this Advance Ruling,
               the expression ‘GST Act’ would mean CGST Act and MGST Act.
