The authority ruled that the construction contract for residential quarters at a specific power project would attract GST at 18% under SAC 9954.

Issues: 1. Rate of GST on the contract for construction of building and structure for colony at a specific power project. 2. Rate of GST on the construction contract of residential quarters at various power houses of a government entity.
Analysis:
Issue 1: Rate of GST on the contract for construction of building and structure for colony at a specific power project: The application sought an advance ruling on the rate applicable to the construction contract for residential quarters at a power project. The applicant argued for a lower GST rate based on specific notifications. The concerned officer's view was that the contract would attract GST at 18%. The applicant contended that the construction of residential quarters was integral to the power plant project. However, the authority noted that a previous ruling had already classified similar services under SAC 9954 at 18% GST. The authority found that the work entrusted to the applicant was solely for electricity generation, not construction of residential quarters, and upheld the 18% GST rate.
Issue 2: Rate of GST on the construction contract of residential quarters at various power houses of a government entity: The applicant also sought a ruling on the GST rate for construction contracts of residential quarters at different power stations. The authority declined to provide a specific ruling due to the generic nature of the question without specific contract details. The authority reiterated that the GST rate for construction of residential quarters, as per a previous ruling, was 18% under SAC 9954. The ruling emphasized that the specific tender document mentioned in the application would attract GST at 18% for the construction of residential quarters awarded to a specific contractor.
In conclusion, the authority ruled that the construction contract for residential quarters at a specific power project would attract GST at 18% under SAC 9954. The ruling remains valid unless declared void under the provisions of the GST Act.
