Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for construction services. It addresses whether ITC can be claimed on materials, the applicable GST rates (1% for affordable housing, 5% for others, both without ITC), and when GST should be charged on payments received, including advances. The advice suggests that ITC is generally not available for construction materials under current regulations and that GST is payable upon receipt of payment.

1. Yes
2. 1%/5% For detail= https://cleartax.in/s/faqs-on-the-real-estate-sector-under-gst
3. GST is required to be paid on receipt of payment as per section 31(5) of CGST act.
4. yes

Please find an answer to your question below 

1 and 2. Can't claim ITC according to the amendment brought in mid-Feb 2019

Property type GST rate till March 2019 GST rate from April 2019
Affordable housing 8% with ITC 1% without ITC
Non-affordable housing 12% with ITC 5% without ITC

With effect from April 1, 2019, 1% GST is charged on affordable residential apartments without ITC, while 5% GST without ITC is charged on other residential properties.

3,  Need to pay GST on money receipt and in case advance need to pay GST on Advance as well

4. I think no need to Issue invoice since it's just a reimbursement but it's totally dependent on the transaction to transaction.

 

Hope clears your queires
I case not you can reach out to me at info @ ammardawoodi.com

Thanks for your response.
But in this case MR X is normal taking work contract for repair and maintenance of house or construction of small house

Correct still as per my interpretation of Notification No. 03/2019-Central Tax (Rate) no ITC available and rate is 5%

Still, I would suggest you to go through notification no. 03/2019 you will have more clear picture
