Hello... pls let me know whether GST paid on interest on housing loan EMI can be claimed while filing GST return..
1. Home loan not in business entity name. It is in individual name.
2. If home loan availed in business entity name.

For point no. 1. ITC cannot be claimed.
Point no. 2 home loan sanctioned on home. So it becomes personal.

Dear Mr Murali.,

ST/GST is applicable for Bank's service activities not on Interest...
They Collect ST/GST for their services like "Inspection Charges, Processing Charges, Site Visiting or Valuation Charges and etc.,.

But, Not collect for the Interest...
Bcoz, It's not their Service...

**Please check out Your statement of Loan Process and It's Repayment Schedule...

GOOD LUCK...

As per Your reply "Bank is Charged GST on Interest amount then Contact Your bank and Ask the details then recover the amount....

Also you can get some clarity in the following link

Raja P.M., I have been informed by the bank that GST is applicable on personal loan interest taken through credit card and it's not applicable if I take just a personal loan (not through credit card)... Please confirm
