DEAR SIR,

SOME BUYERS ARE ALSO GETTING SUBSIDY UNDER PRADHAN MANTRI AWAS YOJANA AS PER THEIR ELIGIBILITY. NOW CONFUSION IS REGARDING GST RATE BETWEEN 18% OR 12%.

AI Summary

GST rate on construction services varies by inclusion of land; concessional PMAY rates apply and ITC remains available.
GST on construction services depends on whether land value is included: supplies including land attract a higher GST rate, while construction services excluding land attract a lower rate. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana concessional scheme, a reduced rate applies where land value is excluded and a higher concessional rate applies where land value is included. Input tax credit is available in both standard and concessional situations.
