  • I have purchased 2BHK flat in Pune. Agreement had been registered on 12March'2015 when the Service Tax was 3.09%. Also I paid few part payments. Its under construction and possession would be given by Feb'2016. Now from June'2015, Government increased service tax by 0.41 which make 3.50% S.T from June'2015 on-wards. My builder says I also need to pay the extra amount of 20K rupees as the S.T is increased. But do I need to pay service tax for the flat which i purchased in Feb'2015 and Agreement was done in 12March'2015?? Kindly update me.
