Sir,

As per Explanation xxxii inserted in Notification No. 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017 as amended by Notification No. 20/2019-Central Tax (Rate) dated 30.09.2019 'Restaurant service' means supply, by way of or as part of any service, of goods, being food or any other article for human consumption or any drink, provided by a restaurant, eating joint including mess, canteen, whether for consumption on or away from the premises where such food or any other article for human consumption or drink is supplied.

Therefore as per Sl.
