Can you please explain, in what way you feel that rent control act is going to be circumvented by levy of service charges by the society?

Rent of the apartment and service rendered by the society cannot be equated.

There are two aspects:
a. Renting of residential property is exempt under GST.
b. Housing Society collecting reimbursement of maintenance of expenses would be exempt upto Rs.5000 per tenant.
Refer exemption notification no.12/2017-CT, dt.28.6.2017
