As you already booked and paid 95% of the amount to the builder before the date of notification I don't think you are eligible for the concessional rate of benefit. The said notification came into effect from 25.01.2018 itself. Supporting document is notification of the department.
GST rate under CLSS
Hi All, i booked a flat under CLSS in Sep 2017 when GST was at 18% and i paid 95% to builder in Nov 2017 later this rate was changed to 12% and my builder is saying they are not aware of any such notification from government and continuing to charge 18% Please advise if I can avail the GST benefit as registration is yet to start in April 2018 and if there is any supporting document that i can show to builder Thanks in advance

Hi,
There is a catch in your query. You said that 95% of the amount was paid by you in Nov-2017. However, the notification of reduction in rate of GST came on 25.01.2018 applicable from the same date.
As such, reduction in GST Rates to amount already paid and billed might not be applicable in the absence of any clear notification by the Govt. in this behalf.
However, there is possibly one solution in your case. Please check that whether the amount paid by you to the builder in Nov 2017 is booked by builder as advance or already billed in your name and GST paid by him. In case he has not yet billed the amount and not paid GST on the same to Govt. till date, he may pass on the reduced rate benefit to you. The date of invoice of the amount paid by you is important in this case.
Discuss with your builder and revert for any further clarifications if you want.
Regards,
Since notification came in Jan 18 and applicable from said period ,and you paid the amt before that so i think its not applicable for you.
Hi,
The builder is correct. If the construction is not registered in PMAY, he will charge GST @ 12%. You need to explain it to the bank.
Please feel free to call/ revert in case you need more clarity
Thanks and regards

Is there any gr which mentions clearly about gst rayes for CLSS? inhave seen fee GR but there is no clarity explicitly on GST percentage to be charged under CLSS scheme

No, you won't find it clearly mentioned in any government notification.
It's the combination of two notification issued in August 2017 and January 2018.
Is not easy for the layman to draw analogy from notification and come to a conculsion.
