GST rate for homes purchased under the Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS)

Effective from 25th January 2018, if you purchased the property under the Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS), then the applicable GST rate will be 12%. The effective rate of 8% after deducting one-third of the amount charged for the house towards the cost of land.

What is Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS)?

If you purchased the property under the schemes like:-

  • Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)
  • Lower Income Group (LIG)
  • Middle Income Group-1 (MlG-1) or Middle Income Group-2 (MlG-2) under the Housing for All (Urban) Mission/Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY Urban).

Refer the complete post on GST for Property at “GST rate on real estate or under construction property purchase“. I hope this post will clear the doubts about who is eligible for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) or eligibility conditions for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

Conclusion:-By extending the PMAY dates for up to 31st March 2021 under CLSS scheme, Government is actually trying to boost the real estate sector. Hope you all utilize this benefit.

    Hello Sir
    our family income (me and my wife) is 500000rs. and we have no any house, we live on rent.
    But, my mother, father, and brother have their own house. They said that you have share 1/3 of that property. If I want to buy that property from my parents and brother by taking a loan under PMAY. My concern is that I was eligible for taking a loan under a subsidy scheme because that property is in the village and not in the Municipal area. If i eligible for the loan upto how much amout. Thanks

        Thanks for the immediate reply – but would be really glad – if you could atleast help me with the link for online application – since Women and Children Empowerment site – does not carry the same.

        Or atleast if you could help me with some Govt. official cadres – whom I can approach in Bangalore – so that I understand this and apply for the same.
