Advance Ruling

To facilitate foreign investment into the country a number of steps have been taken by Government of India in the past. Setting up an Authority for Advance Rulings (Central Excise, Customs & Service Tax) to give binding rulings, in advance, on Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax matters pertaining to an investment venture in India is one such measure. The legal provisions of Advance Rulings were introduced through the Finance Acts of 1998, 1999 and 2003.

Once the impugned property is not a residential dwelling, the exemption under Sl.No 13 of Notification No 09/2017 IT (Rate) dt 28.06.2017 will not apply to the renting/leasing of such property.
