The builder is going to provide you a X square feet of flat + pays rent etc. This is a case of monetary consideration which is = amount expended by him towards other costs incurred till he gives you possession. Non-monetary part is the cost of construction + 10 % as per the valuation law. ( which is better than paying on open market value ( which may not be possible to arrive at.
Builder will charge you GST on above. If you are going to take possession and stay or later sell then that GST amount is a cost to you.
However if you are selling before construction is over, you can avail credit of the amount charged by the builder and collect from the prospective buyer.
