Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST on commercial rental income. If your annual rental income exceeds the threshold and you are GST registered, GST is generally applicable. Even if the tenant only pays the rent amount, you are still obligated to charge and remit GST if you've issued an invoice including it. Always check your revised rental agreement for specific GST clauses.

If the lessor is already not registered under GST, then GST is not applicable on rental income if the actual receipt too is limited to ₹12 lacs, provided the lessor has no other income or has other income within the threshold limit of turnover under GST.
Lessor has GSTN and filing returns every month
In that case, GST is applicable.
But tenant paying only rent not paying GST, in this case how can we proceed?
If you have issued invoice with GST, then the tenant is obligated to pay GST too. Also check the revised agreement if the GST clause is also included in it.
Got it. thank you for your response 🙏
