Modular kitchens are kitchens that can be assembled using individual units. Each unit can be personalised to suit your needs, appliances and incorporate the latest technology. These units are then fitted to form the skeleton of the new kitchen. The biggest advantage of modular kitchens are that they can be assembled and reassembled, making it easier to move into different homes. In contrast, civil kitchens have cabinets that are permanently built into the space, making it impossible to dismantle later.

In India, GST does not apply to home loans. However, a bank provides a host of additional services along with the home loan which are applicable to a charge of 18% GST. Further, processing fees and other charges levied on disbursing home loans fall within the category of financial and related services, as identified by the HSN code 9971, and are therefore subjected to 18% GST. Input tax credit (ITC) can be availed only on properties used for business purposes. Home loans are typically taken for personal home purchase or construction and not for business use, hence ITC cannot be claimed.

A GST-registered landlord is liable to pay 18% GST on commercial rental income if it exceeds 20 lac rupees per annum. The landlord can claim input tax credit (ITC) against GST paid if he meets the eligibility criteria and has maintained adequate documentation to substantiate his claim. GST is not applicable on properties leased out for charitable or religious purposes provided the rental charges are below a specific threshold.

Under the present GST regime, landlords are not liable to pay GST against their real estate rental income, provided the premises is let out for residential purposes. Rent arising out of a residential property being used for business is however applicable for GST as services are being supplied. In addition, if the rental proceeds of a residential property exceed 20 lac rupees per annum, GST is applicable at the rate of 18%.

In the case of plotted developments, the developer, landowner, or authority undertaking the project must pay GST charges on the sale of developed land within the project. The GST is to be charged on super built-up basis and not the actual measure of the developed plot. Also, any lease, tenancy or right to occupy created for a plot of land is considered to be a provision of services and therefore liable for GST.

Generally speaking, the sale of land is outside the purview of GST as it does not involve the transfer of any good or services. However, in the case of plotted development projects where in addition to the land, basic amenities are provided, GST becomes applicable. This is because the amenities of a plotted development may include the construction of roads, sewerage lines, landscaped gardens, drainage systems, overhead tanks, water harvesting systems, etc. which are construed to be services offered.
