The real estate sector is facing a new challenge with the issuance of new GST notices on leasehold land transfers. The notices have raised concerns among developers and builders, who are worried about the impact on their business.

The GST notices are related to the transfer of leasehold land, which is a common practice in the real estate sector. The notices require developers to pay GST on the transfer of leasehold land, which could increase the cost of projects.

The real estate sector is already facing several challenges, including a slowdown in demand and a liquidity crunch. The new GST notices could further exacerbate the situation, making it difficult for developers to complete their projects.

The Maharashtra government has decided to test the constitutional validity of GST on leasehold land transfers. The government has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court, challenging the GST notices.

The real estate sector is waiting with bated breath for the outcome of the court case. If the court rules in favor of the government, it could have a significant impact on the sector.

In the meantime, developers are advised to take a cautious approach and seek professional advice before transferring leasehold land.
