I find anomaly with well know Bangalore builder claiming GST from buyers , without raising proper performance bills for each transaction. They just claim payment on statement of accounts which is not correct in my opinion. I have sought clarifications from GST authority. As a buyer it is our prerogative to know the tax paid reaches the government. more

If the project is an ongoing project as on 01-04-19, and the Builder has not exercised the option of availing the lesser rate of GST, the applicable GST rate is 18%. This is applicable for all payments made to the builder and the Builder has to provide a GST Invoice for every payment received. In case the Builder exercises the option of availing the lower rate of GST , the applicable rate is 1 % without availing ITC for properties having sale price of less than Rs. 45 lakhs (affordable housing) and 5% without availing ITC for properties having sale price of mire than Rs.45 lakhs. more
