Subject: Payment of GST by real estate promoters on shortfall in procurement of inputs from registered suppliers under the revised rate scheme
Description:
This instruction clarifies the manner of payment of GST by real estate promoters under the revised GST rate regime applicable from 01.04.2019.

The tax on such shortfall is required to be paid annually by the end of the quarter following the relevant financial year. It is clarified that FORM GST DRC-03 shall be used for reporting and payment of such tax electronically on the GST portal. The clarification removes ambiguity regarding the prescribed form and ensures uniform compliance by promoters and developers.
