Dear Sir, We have sold Factory land in the Fy 2018-19 which was acquired by us 40 year back from RIICO on lease for 90 years, now the GST Deptt is telling us to pay GST on it. We are arguing that the document to register this sale is Registred Sale deed not Lease Deed, and as per Schedule III sale of land is not covered under GST and there is no mention of Lease hold land or Freehold land, it only mentions land. I am not able to understand are we on correct line or we have to pay tax . Is there any case law status in your knowledge
