Answer ID : 73954

Yes. GST is applicable on the rent received from the bank as the property is being used for commercial purpose. As far Income tax is concerned, rentall income can be continued to be shown under House Property

Once TO crossed 20 lacs, then registration compulsory. Once registered all business-like activities attract tax payment. Head of income under income-tax does not affect taxability in GST. GST is applicable on all taxable activity. In present case, trading is taxable activity and renting of immovable property which is not for residential purpose (as given for use as bank) also is taxable activity. Please recheck is immovable property which is let out to bank is used by bank as residential dwelling or non-residential dwelling purposes before admitting tax on the same. Use of residential dwelling for residential purposes (even by commercial occupant) is exempt from GST (sl.no.12 of 12/2017-CT(R) notification).
