Whether you purchased a ready built flat, or under construction flat? When did you book your flat?

There is a deeming provision under the Service Tax that if the completion certificate for the building has not been obtained, but any amount is received by the builder prior to obtaining the Completion Certificate for the building, then the same will be deemed to be a construction service and service tax is payable.

As per changed provisions of Income Tax, any payment made in such heads is liable for service tax w.e.f. 1st April 2009 so you are liable to pay whether it was discussed or not.
