Kindly bring more clarity

A. Will the transaction be considered as Works contract service or construction service?

WORKS CONTRACT SERVICE. FURTHER I ASSUME THERE IS A JDA ENTERED FOR THIS TRANSACTION POST 1.4.19.

B. What shall be the rate of GST?

5%

C. On what value GST will be payable?

IT WOULD BE THE FIRST SALE VALUE IN THE PROJECT

D. Will there be GST only on additional area given to existing flat owners or on the entire area constructed?

ENTIRE CONSTRUCTED AREA

E. Will GST be applicable on relocation charges

IT WILL NOT BE SEPARATELY APPLICABLE AND CAN BE CONSIDERED TO BE BUNDLED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. SO THE ADOPTION OF THE FIRST SALE VALUE FOR THE VALUATION SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS.
