Your place of supply is where immovable property is located. You are to issue tax invoice charging IGST. You are covered under Section 12 (3) of IGST Act. Pl. go through the following:-

SECTION 12. Place of supply of services where location of supplier and recipient is in India

(3) The place of supply of services, -

(a) directly in relation to an immovable property, including services provided by architects, interior decorators, surveyors, engineers and other related experts or estate agents, any service provided by way of grant of rights to use immovable property or for carrying out or co-ordination of construction work; or

(b) -------------

(c) ------------

(d) any services ancillary to the services referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c),

shall be the location at which the immovable property or boat or vessel, as the case may be, is located or intended to be located :

The place of supply would be location of property and the location of supplier would be Maharashtra in your example. If place of supply falling outside the state of Maharashtra, you must issue IGST invoice and need not registered in such state.
