“The government granted income tax exemption to the Patanjali Research Foundation but did not exempt GST on research grants for IIT Delhi.”

However, while GST applies to research equipment purchased by institutes like IITs, fees charged by educational institutions solely for providing education are under NIL rate of GST.
