Q.

I am an NRI planning to buy a property in India which would be used for family residential purposes. So while buying the property can I register myself for a GST number and obtain a GST return benefit on the GST tax paid during the deal?

Here is a guide for the

GST waiver for NRI.

The specific rules and rates vary depending on the type of property and the nature of the transaction.

If an NRI has bought a residential property from a developer, GST is applicable at the rate of 5% on the value of the property.

  • For commercial properties, GST is applicable at different rates depending on the type of property and the location. The rates could vary from 12% to 18% in most cases.

  • When an NRI buys a resale property, GST is not applicable. The transaction attracts stamp duty and registration charges, but not GST.

  • If the property is under construction and the developer is selling it to an NRI, GST is generally applicable at 5% for residential properties.

  • If an NRI is renting or leasing out their property in India, GST is not applicable on the rental income.
