However, even if the society obtains this registration, it cannot levy GST, if the maintenance charge for a flat does not exceed Rs 5000 per month.

So, in case the aggregate of the charges levied by the housing society does not exceed Rs 20 lakhs in a year, it need not register under the GST. Therefore, it need not levy GST on the maintenance charges recovered from its members, even though the individual monthly charges for a flat may exceed Rs 5,000.

Hello Vivek,
No, a builder cannot ask for the maintenance charges and club membership charges individually. And you do not need to pay any GST on it. As it is clearly mentioned in the GST that if the maintenance charges of a society increase more than 20 lakh on an annual basis then builder has to register the society under GST rules.
