Hostel accommodation services provided for 10 months' duration are exempt under Serial Number 12 of Notification 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate), as per the Madras High Court ruling in Thai Mookambikaa Ladies Hostel case. However, such services for 1-2 months to new students during vacation are not exempt under Serial Number 3. For old students extending stay by 1-2 months after 10 months' residence, the extension is considered long-term tenure, eligible for exemption under Serial Number 3.
