There is no mandatory rule it has to be registered. but nowadays provisional application is better

Thanks Mr Mukherjee for your reply. But my main question is that is GST applicable on the Society under the current scenario.   

My specific query has remained unanswered. Can someone please resolve it. Will be obliged. Thanks
