Builder not passing on GST benefit but charging 1.5 lac more
My son-in-Law booked a flat with G-Corp, Bangalore 4 years back. Builder wanted final payment to be made before 30 Jun 17 else would charge 1.5 Lac extra for GST. Govt communication that builders can't charge additional for GST for those who booked flat before 30 Jun 2017 as per article
https://www.ndtv.com/business/booked-a-flat-before-july-1-builders-cant-charge-more-for-gst-1732327
We made payment few days later but was charged Rs 1.5 Lac extra.Had I paid without listening to the Govt that GST will result in refund of tax, I would have saved Rs 1.5 lac of additional outgo . Wanted to raise the issue online with Anti Profiteering Authority. But, it requires us to upload tax invoice. The builders give E Mail communication only. When asked for Tax invoice, the builder is not giving and we are unable to take it up with Anti Profiteering Authority. Pls advise how to take it up.
Govt should allow E Mail communications to take up cases. Tweeted the problem to Finance Ministry but no reply. more

Flat money payment made before 30 Jun 17 attracted Service Tax @ 3.75 % & VAT @ 1%, GST 12 % was applicable to payment made thereafter... later it was changed to @ 8-12% based on carpet area to the payment made thereafter. So pls. take advice of your C.A., whether GST is properly charged or not before proceeding for any complaint. more

HOW ABOUT FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUREAU IN YOUR CITY AND THEN THE REAL ESTATE APPROVING AUTHORITY WITH THE CMDA OR EQUIVALENT IN YOUR CITY.....!? AND THEN OF COURSE YOUR MULTI-STOREY APARTMENT OWNERS ASSOCIATION OR GROUP IF THE ASSN. HAS NOT YET BEEN LEGALLY REGD.!! POWER OF OWNERS IN UR APT IS YOUR STRENGTH AND THE ONLY WAY IS TO JOINTLY REPRESENT PROBABLY COZ.....MOST OF THESE REALTORS AND REAL ESTATE BUILDERS ARE GIANTS, IN TERMS OF THEIR MONEY POWER OR PROBABLY POLITICAL ALLEGIANCE, AND YOU'D JUST GET NOWHERE WITH UR SINGLE CLAIM.....ONE COULD EASILY GET LOST AND LOOSE TIME AND MONEY AND GET NOWHERE!! more
