The university sought clarification on the GST liability for amounts recovered from post-graduate course candidates as compensation, notice pay recovery from employees, and fees forfeited from students discontinuing courses prematurely. During the personal hearing, the university expressed its intention to withdraw the advance ruling application. The authorized representatives of the university attended the hearing and made submissions. Subsequently, the university formally requested to withdraw the application. The authority considered the submissions, facts of the transactions, and the applicant's understanding of the tax rates. Given the applicant's request to withdraw the application, the authority dismissed the application as withdrawn. The ruling stated that the application for advance ruling was dismissed as withdrawn, indicating the end of the proceedings without a substantive decision on the GST liability of the amounts in question.
