• GST under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana

Sir/ madam, 
I took loan and purchased a flat on dec 28, 2017. Also I applied for PMAY schene and it got approved Nd amnt was sanctioned in the month of March 2018. Builders are asking me to pay12% gst. I said under PMAY I am eligible for 8%, so why should I pay more. The auditor said them that as the flat was purchased in dec2017, it’s 12%, the 8% amendment has started from 25th jan 2018. So it’s not applicable. Is it true?? Am I eligible for 8% revised gst? It’s no where mentioned that it is applicable only for flats taken after 25th jan. please help me.. I need a reference to show dem dat it’s 8% under PMAY irrespective of the date of registration of flat( if 8% is applicable)

Hi,

If you have purchased the flat under PMAY scheme, then you are eligible for GST rate of 8%.

It's applicable from 22 August 2017. Kindly refer Notification No. 20/2017-Central Tax (Rate).

On 25 Jan 2018, this benefit was extended to clss scheme as well.

Hi

You are eligible for 8% GST since you are under PMAY scheme. The notification dated 25 Jan was for CLSS and not PMAY.

Send your email id for PMAY notification.

Hi

Please note that PMAY and CLSS are two separate things. Don't miss both of them.

You're registered for PMAY, so notification dated 25th Jan is not applicable for you.

You're eligibe for 8% GST.
