30 March 2017 Hi

Renting of property falls under provision of services. If the aggregate turnover of the service provider exceeds Rs 19 lacs ( for other than North eastern states) and 9 lacs (for North eastern states ) in a year he is liable to register under GST . This registration has to be applied within 30 days from the date of becoming liable for registration . On grant of registration it will be effective from the date of his liability from registraion and GST has to be collected from that date onwards .

Thanks
