Builders force buyers to pay VAT, service tax

While developers in Pune are offering all kinds options to ensure their flats get sold in these hard times, on the other hand they are charging customers for VAT and service tax, though a petition challenging these taxes is pending before the Bombay High Court.

Builders are asking customers to pay the amount or even deposit a blank cheque with them or give an undertaking, in addition to a clause mentioned in the sale agreement.

“I was shocked when the builder asked me to pay Rs 1.25 lakh as VAT and service tax amount before availing possession.
