Long-term Industrial Plot Leasehold Rights Transfer Deemed Non-Taxable Supply Under GST Act Section 7(1)(a)

May 10, 2025

Case Laws     GST     HC

HC held that assignment of long-term leasehold rights in an industrial plot by a lessee to a third-party assignee constitutes a transfer of immovable property benefits, not a taxable supply under GST Act. Relying on precedent in Gujarat Chamber of Commerce case, the Court determined that such transaction falls outside section 7(1)(a) read with Schedules II and III, thereby exempting the transfer from GST levy. Consequently, the show cause notice was quashed, and the petition was allowed, affirming the non-applicability of GST to leasehold rights transfer.
