Dear Sir I am a resident of a society and there builder is charging maintenance and taking gst on maintenance charges because the service provider is a private limited company not a RWA. So can we take exemption from GST.

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether residents can claim exemption from GST on society maintenance charges. It explains that the Rs. 7500 exemption limit applies only to unincorporated bodies like RWAs, not to private limited companies. Therefore, if your society's maintenance is provided by a private limited company, GST is applicable, and no exemption is available. The exemption for unincorporated bodies is based on service value up to Rs. 7500 per member per month, excluding GST.

The exemption limit of Rs. 7500 is applicable on unincorporated bodies. Since Private Limited Company is an incorporated body no exemption is available.

The exemption is given on service value upto Rs. 7500 so it will be ex GST.

Therefore exemption available where unicorporated body provides service to its members by way of reimbursement of charges till RS. 7500 (excluding GST) per month per member
