Additional input tax credit benefits in construction services...

Additional input tax credit benefits in construction services must be passed to pre-GST homebuyers through commensurate price reductions under section 171(1) of the CGST Act. Applying the revised computation, including the pre-GST goods component, the determined benefit was quantified; however, documentary evidence accepted in the revised DGAP report showed that the supplier had passed on benefits exceeding that requirement to eligible homebuyers. The revised methodology therefore did not support a profiteering allegation because the full benefit had already been passed on in excess. The proceedings were disposed of with no contravention of section 171 established.
