• Under construction flat

As we know GST has been reduced from 12% to 5% in under construction property, but this comes into effect from April 1, 2019.

So if a builder demands a installment of payment (in a construction linked payment schedule) on March 20th, 2109 with payment due on 1st April, what GST rate does this installment attract -5% or 12 %?

GST needs to be collected on payment or credit whichever is earlier and since payment has been made first in March you need to pay 12% GST.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Demand will be raised through invoice only therefore rate of 12%.  Rates are linked to payment dates or when invoice is raised.

I have said that rates depend on payment or credit whichever is earlier now since he has raised invoice so you need to pay 12% GST.

Hi

Since the builder would raise an invoice in the month of March itself, 12% rate shall apply.

The GST rate shall apply of the rate prevalent on date of raising an invoice or date of payment, whichever is earlier.
