Your client need to take registration if he sells residential units before obtaining completion certificate .
sale of land will not attract GST and sale of building after obtaining completion certificate or after its first occupation will not attract GST. (Schedule III of CGST Act .)
Sale of building before its first occupation or before issuance of completion certificate will be taxed under GST, and shall be treated as supply of service..
