Companies like OTIS and KONE supposedly are charging 12% GST on elevators installed for domestic use. They in return take some kind of bond signed from customers. However, all other companies are still charging 18% GST to their customers, even from those who install it in their private bungalows.
I would request experts from this group to shed some light on this matter. As this would really be helpful for private end-users. Can we also charge 12%, if yes then what would we require from customers?
