It depends on your housing society’s charges and annual turnover. If your monthly maintenance is ₹7,500 or less per member, it is exempt from GST. If it is more than ₹7,500 and the society’s annual aggregate turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh, GST at 18% applies to the entire maintenance amount. For example, on a ₹9,000 bill, GST would be ₹1,620—not 18% of the ₹1,500 above the limit. When comparing apartment maintenance charges in Ahmedabad, ask what the bill includes and whether the quoted amount includes GST. Add this question to your flat buying checklist in Ahmedabad. Amenities such as lifts, security and water systems need regular upkeep, while a gym or clubhouse can add to the monthly cost. Laxmi Group’s amenities guide helps you compare these costs with the essential amenities in a flat in Ahmedabad. Conclusion: Get a written maintenance estimate before booking so you can budget for the monthly charge and any applicable GST.
