02 August 2013 As per THE BUILDING AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS’ WELFARE CESS ACT, 1996, 1% of the cost of construction is paid to the Government since 5th day of November 1995.

My query is what about the period before 1995 ? Is any cess payable on building under construction as on that time or the building already constructed by that time ?

please provide guidance with sufficient clauses and notifications.
