GST on apartment purchase, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Maneesh Agarwal]

I'm looking for under construction apartment which would be ready in a month time.

Builder is asking to pay GST on below items. Should GST be applicable on all these items?

• UDS consideration
• Cost of construction of apartment
• Township infrastructure charges
• Infrastructure and Amenities charges
• Development charges for Water & Electricity
• Development Charges for Pipes Gas
• Development charges for Generator

Thanks, -Maneesh

Yes GST is applicable on all such charges

As per my view, GST shall be levied at 18% on such items, hence, builder is asking for payment.

I concur with the views of experts.

Some builders are collecting GST(at merit rate) from buyer but not paying to govt. Need to ensure reputation of builder and pay GST.

We endorse the views of our experts and if such builders are not paying back the collected GST to the Government then they can be arrested.

Buy ready flat wherein GST is not applicable.
