Do I pay GST on my society maintenance bill?
What you need to know
- Both the Rs 20-lakh society-level and Rs 7,500-per-flat thresholds must be crossed
- If crossed, GST is on the entire amount (e.g. full Rs 9,000), not just the Rs 1,500 excess
- The Rs 7,500 limit applies per flat, checked separately for each unit you own
Who this applies to: buyers/sellers/landlords

The law behind it
GST on housing-society maintenance charges: Rs 7,500/month threshold
A society only charges GST on maintenance if BOTH its annual collection exceeds Rs 20 lakh AND a member is billed over Rs 7,500/month. Cross either limit and 18% GST applies on the FULL amount, not just the excess.
