GST on advance received for under construction property

A buyer has paid an advance of ₹10 lakhs for a commercial property which is under construction. Sale deed will be made for ₹25 lakhs after the completion.

My queries-
1) Is GST applicable on the advance amount of ₹10Lakhs or the whole ₹25Lakhs?

2) If GST is applicable only on advance of ₹10Lakhs since remaining ₹15 lakhs is received after completion, how to show it in the returns?

thanks in advance.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST applicability on advance payments for under-construction properties. GST is generally applicable on the advance amount received, and also on subsequent payments made towards the property, even if paid after completion or sale deed execution. The liability arises as and when payments become due as per the agreement.

GST applicable on advance.
GST also applicable on the rest of the amount also.
Liable as and when payment becomes due as per slabs decided in the agreement.
Even if ₹15 lakhs is paid after the completion certificate of property is received i.e when sale deed is made, buyer has to pay GST on that?

Yes to that also........
