  Introduction: Don’t Let GST Catch You Off Guard If you're planning to buy property in India in 2025 — be it a villa plot, a flat, or a commercial investment — understanding how GST applies is absolutely essential. At SLV Housing Development Corporation , we’ve seen countless buyers walk into deals without fully grasping the tax implications. Some paid more than necessary. Some missed out on savings. And many were simply confused. So we created this guide — clear, respectful, jargon-free — to help buyers, landowners, and developers make smarter real estate decisions.

The Buyer Pulse: Why the Current Rebate Window Matters In a state where tradition meets transition, real estate decisions often pause during Ashada Masa , considered inauspicious by many.
