GST on under construction house property (including affordable housing) w.e.f. April 01, 2019
To boost demand in the real estate sector, the GST Council, on February 24, 2019, slashed tax rates for under-construction flats to five per cent and affordable homes to one per cent, effective April 1, 2019. Currently, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied at 12 per cent with input tax credit (ITC) on payments made for under-construction property or ready-to-move-in flats, where the completion certificate is not issued at the time of sale. For affordable housing units, the existing tax rate is eight per cent.
With a view to assist India’s real estate sector jump out of a slowdown, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council on February 24, 2019 has taken an initiative to cut down the GST rate on under construction houses w.e.f. April 01, 2019 with some other benefits which is mentioned below for proper analysis of readers:
Details of the scheme shall be worked out by an officers committee ans shall be approved by the GST council in a meeting to be called specifically for this purpose.
The law and fitment committee will draft the guidelines by March 10 which will be taken up in a subsequent GST Council meeting, Jaitley added.
Hope this will help the businessman to plan the tax accordingly.

Dear Devesh Mishra,
Just read your simplified version of GST. Its very insightful, I have a query about the GST rates.
We brought a commercial space in Navi Mumbai. Its still under construction. Just foundation work in ongoing now, it started on Jan 2019.
Our builder has paid 12% GST for it in Jan 2019.
Now from 1st April 2019, the GST will go to 5% for the under-construction project. Wondering, we should ask money 7% from the builder? Please guide, a lot of confusion is prevailing. Will there be any adjustment by the government, to refund money etc?
Thank you very much!
Best wishes,
Ghanshyam
I have purchased a flat for 80 Lac (Premium/Normal Housing Project) in Bangalore in August 2018 when the applicable GST was 12%;
At the time of booking, Occupancy Certificate was not present. Builder got OC in December 2018.
At the time of booking i Paid 10 Lac + 12% GST extra;
In Feb 2019, I have paid 20 Lac + 12% GST extra;
Now i have taken loan for remaining 50 Lac and its sanctioned;
Builder is asking full amount for registration before 31st march with GST 12%.
My question is –
1) If i get my loan disburse for the remaining 50 Lac after 1st April 2019; Will builder give me concession on the GST
2) If I get it disbursed before March 31; will i get benefit later from builder
3) Is there any provision that i would get GST benefit for the previous amount which i have already paid
4) I spoke to builder and he said that the concession rates are not applicable on your project; What should i do ?
Please help

Hello Sir,
I’ve booked under construction flat in May 2018 and till date builder has received 90% amount from bank and project is still ongoing and expected to be complete in may 2019.
How does tax calculation work for me? Do i need to pay 12% tax for remanning 10% payment? I’ve not done any property registration since BU permission is not yet received,
Builder has clearly said to me that reduction in GST 5% won’t be benefitted to you.
Can you please share your view .?
I have done my flat aggreement in Jan 2019.
The builder has given a payment order in the februrary month, but I have not paid them because NOC incomplete.
Today builder has told me that NOC has come today, if I make the payment after 1st April 2019 then how much tax will I have to pay?
Hello Sir,
I have purchased a flat which is under construction & 1st slab is ready as per architect letter dt.04.02.2019. Now the developer demand payment up to the completion of first slab on 21.02.2019 also he says no GST benefit will be allow to you because 1st slab is completed on 04.02.2019. Also developet says that which ever construction is completed after month of April 2018 which will be consider for reduce GST rate. If i pay this amount after 1 April can i get benefit of reduce GST rate in this case ?
I have purchased a flat which is under construction and nearly 50% amount has been made, Will i be getting any GST benefit of 5% as i have paid 12% earlier in this. Also builder has never passed on to us the input tax credit.
Second scenario is my friend has paid all the amount of the flat in Feb except the GST amount since reduction was expected.
Builder is asking to pay 12% GST As payment is made before 31st march 2019 and new reduction is applicable from 1st April 2019
Pl clarify for such scenarios how GST has to be treated before April 2019.
