Phase 1 completed ~400 houses completed one year before and handed over to customers. Around ~120 owners has occupied the houses. After one year completion, Builder is seekign for advance payment of Maintanence charges along with GST cahrges. My monthly maintanence charges will be around Rs 3000/- And it is calculated based on Sqft. Builder wants to have the 3 months paid together with GST of 18%. And Builder is claiming since sum of all maintanence charges received will be more than Rs25Lac, GST is applicable for us and we have to pay for it. Is it genuine?

Sir,
You have to pay monthly maintenance charges along with 18% of GST.You need not pay more than that money.May builders and associations are charging/ collecting more money in the name of GST.If any dispute arise you may lodge complaint before the regional office of the GST.

Thanks.
