GST on Residential Property: What It Means for Hyderabad Home Buyers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GST on residential property applies only when you buy an under-construction home. In this case, the builder is considered to be providing a construction service, and GST<\/a> is charged on that service portion. Once the property is completed and receives an Occupancy Certificate or Completion Certificate, GST no longer applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Hyderabad buyers, this distinction is extremely important. The city has a healthy mix of under-construction and ready-to-move properties, especially in areas like Gachibowli, Financial District, Kokapet, and Narsingi. Choosing the right stage of purchase directly impacts whether you pay GST or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you buy a ready-to-move apartment, gst<\/a> on residential property is zero. You only pay stamp duty and registration charges, which are state levies and not part of GST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
