This discussion clarifies GST implications for landlords renting out commercial properties to registered tenants. It addresses whether rental income should be declared under an existing business GSTIN or if a separate registration is required, especially when the property is owned individually. The advice indicates that while a separate registration for rental income as a distinct business vertical is permissible and often recommended, utilising excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) from another business under the same GSTIN for rental GST is not allowed.

1. Depends upon your choice. The GST law allows a single legal entity to obtain separate GST registrations for distinct business verticals if it chooses; however, it is also permissible to operate multiple verticals under a single GSTIN if they do not opt for separate registrations. 2. Steel business may not include rental income., Let it be declared separately, 3. Yes, as different business vertical.
