Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the applicability of GST on co-operative societies, extending beyond just housing co-ops. While literature often focuses on housing societies, the general GST provisions, including the Rs. 20 lakh turnover threshold, apply to other types like producer, consumer, worker, and financial co-operatives. The key distinction is that special provisions are reserved for housing welfare societies, while general rules govern others.

18 May 2023 there are various types of Cooperative society like Producer / Marketing Cooperatives.,Consumer Cooperatives.,Worker Cooperatives.Housing Cooperatives.
Financial Cooperatives. etc

As per Sec 2(17) definition of Business, other coprative must be covered under GST if there turnover is more than 20 Lacs

But whatever literature are available in the matter of “GST Applicablity on cooperative society” , it is related to housing society only.

Why such literature is not there about other cooperative society. May I request you to please guide on this
