GST on supply of services of FSI by Municipal Corporation BMC

[Ashish Diwedi]

Dear SIr,

We have constructed parking lot and have received 2 FSI from the Municipal Corporation (i.e. BMC).

Is the transaction of supply of service by way of FSI liable to GST under RCM or is it exempt in terms of Noti. No. 12/2017 - Central Tax (Rate)?
