by Smita Chandra 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Dear Colleagues, Could someone please cite the GFR rules for writing off missing books. Rules 143 and Rule 215 mention the definition of "goods" and procedure for stock verification, however the necessary action for loss of books does not specify writing off books and the procedure to do so. If some of our colleagues could please shed more light, I would be most grateful. Thanking you and with kind regards, Dr.Smita ChandraLibrarianIndian Institute of Geomagnetism

GST for online journals
by Smita Chandra 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Dear Colleagues, While we know that GST is levied on all online publications via agents, I am still not clear if : 1. There is any GST if we purchase online journals/databases from Publishers who do not have offices in India ? Is there any clear directive from the government clarifying this ? 2. For hard copy publications from Indian scientific societies, is a GSTIN required from the society/academy ? Any clarification further or any help will be highly appreciated. Thanking you and with kind regards, Dr.Smita ChandraLibrarianIndian Institute of GeomagnetismNew Panvel, Navi Mumbai 410218.
