Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that GST is applicable on advance payments received for construction contracts in India. Even if the advance is for materials, it's considered part of the overall service contract and attracts GST. The GST on advance payments should be calculated inclusive of GST and reported accordingly in tax filings like GSTR-9 and Form 26AS.

Yes, advance will be treated as inclusive of GST.

Hi, sir thanks for your response, advance received for purchase of materials for site. how can pay gst, if our client doing professional service gst applicable. but for constraction contrat how to treats.

For your client it may be for purchase of material, but the amount is going to be adjusted against the contracted amount, while the contractor is going to charge GST over the contract. Thus, the amount is inclusive of GST.

Thanks for your reply sir.

You are welcome.

Yes GST on advance can be deposited by computing it including GST.
