And decided to sell flats after obtaining of CC only and also not sold nor received any money before CC. Sale after CC is covered under Schedule III hence not liable for GST. However builder has not obtained GST registration as he does not have aggregate turnover. Is he liable for GST registration u/s. 24 and also liable to pay RCM under GST for inward supplies in case the 80:20 ratio is not meet?. Thank you. - Reply By KASTURI SETHI - The Reply = If the ratio of 80 % : 20% is not qualified, on shortfall value below 80 %, RCM will be applicable and hence registration will be compulsory under Section 24 (1) (iii) of CGST Act . See Board's circular no.3/2/2020-GST dated 24.06.20 . - Reply By KASTUR ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... I SETHI - The Reply = It is also worthwhile to study the definition and scope of the terms, 'Builder', 'Developer' and 'Promoter' under RERA Act. - Reply By SACHIN GARG - The Reply = Section 24 overrides Section 22 and not Section 23 . Section 23 says registration not mandatory if providing exclusively exempt services. So IMHO registration not required, RCM not liable to be paid. - Reply By Shilpi Jain - The Reply = If there is only after CC sale no requirement of taking GST registration. However if the 80:20 condition is not met registration will have to be taken and gst liability under RCM will have to be discharged. - Reply By Ganeshan Kalyani - The Reply = I agree with the view of the experts. - Reply By VishnuPr .....

Section 23(1)(a) of the CGST Act, 2017 does NOT come into picture here as 'the builder is not supplying any goods / services which are not liable to tax or wholly exempt from tax'. B1.
