section (7) of section 13 of the said Act, in the case of services supplied in respect of goods
which are required to be made physically available by the recipient of services to the supplier of

supplied to an individual, represented either as the recipient of services or a person acting on
behalf of the recipient, which require the physical presence of the recipient or the person acting
on his behalf, where the location of the supplier of services or the location of the recipient of
services is outside India, and where such services are supplied in more than one State or Union
territory, shall be taken as being in each of the respective States or Union territories, and the
proportion of value attributable to each such State and Union territory in the absence of any
contract or agreement between the supplier of service and recipient of services for separately
collecting or determining the value of the services in each such State or Union territory, as the
case maybe, shall be determined in the following manner, namely:-
(i) in the case of services supplied on the same goods, by equally dividing the value of the
service in each of the States and Union territories where the service is performed;
(ii) in the case of services supplied on different goods, by taking the ratio of the invoice value
of goods in each of the States and Union territories, on which service is performed, as the
ratio of the value of the service performed in each State or Union territory;
(iii)in the case of services supplied to individuals, by applying the generally accepted
accounting principles.
Illustration-1: A company C which is located in Kolkata is providing the services of
testing of a dredging machine and the testing service on the machine is carried out in
Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. The place of supply is in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh and
the value of the service in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh will be ascertained by dividing the
value of the service equally between these two States.
Illustration-2: A company C which is located in Delhi is providing the service of
servicing of two cars belonging to Mr. X. One car is of manufacturer J and is located in
Delhi and is serviced by its Delhi workshop. The other car is of manufacturer A and is
located in Gurugram and is serviced by its Gurugram workshop . The value of service
attributable to the Union Territory of Delhi and the State of Haryana respectively shall
be calculated by applying the ratio of the invoice value of car J and the invoice value of
car A, to the total value of the service.
Illustration-3: A makeup artist M has to provide make up services to an actor A. A is
shooting some scenes in Mumbai and some scenes in Goa. M provides the makeup
services in Mumbai and Goa. The services are provided in Maharashtra and Goa and the
value of the service in Maharashtra and Goa will be ascertained by applying the
generally accepted accounting principles.

services are supplied in more than one State or Union territory, in the absence of any contract or

Practical Q&A
Does IGST have a completely separate rulebook?
No. Rule 2 expressly applies the CGST Rules, so far as may be, for provisions imported through IGST section 20. The specific IGST Rules supplement that bridge.
