The move is likely to increase the prices of flats by Rs 200 per square foot. Shantilal Katariya, vice-president of Credai, India, and Rajiv Parikh, president of Credai, confirmed the decision, although they did not specify when it would be implemented.
According to Katariya, developers have been paying 13% tax on all construction materials to the government, which they did not recover from purchasers. He explained that the input tax is part of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is applicable when any service or goods are supplied to a taxable person. Until now, builders have not been passing this tax on to the purchaser.
Credai has decided to follow up with the government on this matter. The decision is expected to have a significant impact on the real estate market in Maharashtra, with homebuyers likely to bear the brunt of the increased costs.
