In our view it is a taxable service under the provision of GST Laws and registration will depend on the crossing of threshold limit as prescribed in GST Law i.e. 40 lakhs.

In my view, in this scenario registration is compulsory. Go through Section 24 (vii) of CGST Act which is extracted below:-

SECTION 24. Compulsory registration in certain cases

(vii) persons who make taxable supply of goods or services or both on behalf of other taxable persons whether as an agent or otherwise

Pl. also go through HSN 995432.

Sir,

In my opinion the threshold limit is ₹ 20 lakhs only since work done is service.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Registration is compulsory for contractor because he works for and on behalf of an other person. Developer firm is required to take registration only after crossing threshold exemption limit of ₹ 20 lakhs, being service provider.

My mistake, the threshold is ₹ 20L.
