Myself, a builder and a land owner enters into a JDA in purview of construction of a gated community (Individual villas). There is no consideration from the part of builder to Land owner. The Land owner receives only the value of the land as his portion of share, that too direct from villa buyer. 1. Is this JDA valid 2. If so, Then what is the % of GST applicable for selling of villas ((i.e.,) 18% or 12%) 3. if 12% is applicable then how much value has to be entered in GST return. whether the sale value should include land value also. If land value to be included then how it has to be accounted because the value for land portion is directly paid to the land owner.

Dear Sirs, Thank you very much for your valuable feedbacks.
A follow up uestion:
Why cant we opt for 12% gst with the land value because there is a JDA in place. As my land value is much lesser than my construction cost, 12% on the land value will be much beneficial.

The 12% GST rate with the presumed land value benefit may not always be feasible due to the requirement that 1/3rd of the total sale value must be considered as land and 2/3rd as construction. If the actual land value is much lower than 1/3rd of the sale value, the 12% GST may not be favorable.
