What we handle for Shela

Situations we handle for Shela clients

The questions that actually come through the door from Shela — answered the way we answer them in the office, with the current rules.

Bought a first flat in Shela on a home loan — what can I claim this year?

Under the old regime: interest on the loan up to ₹2 lakh a year for a self-occupied house, principal repayment within the ₹1.5 lakh Section 80C limit, and the stamp duty and registration fees paid in the year of purchase also under 80C. Under the new regime none of these apply for a self-occupied home, so a Shela family with a ₹50 lakh loan usually finds the old regime wins for the first few years while the interest component is high, and the new regime wins later as it falls. Both spouses on the loan and the deed can each claim their share. We run the comparison every year rather than once, because the answer changes as the EMI amortises.

Old vs new regime, worked out

GST on an under-construction flat versus a ready one

An under-construction flat carries GST: 1% if it qualifies as affordable housing — a carpet area of up to 90 square metres and an agreement value of up to ₹45 lakh, both conditions together, since Ahmedabad is a non-metro city for this purpose — or 5% otherwise, with no input credit to the builder in either case. A flat bought after the completion certificate is issued carries no GST at all, only stamp duty and registration. On a ₹60 lakh Shela apartment the difference between under-construction and ready-to-move is ₹3 lakh of GST, which is worth knowing before the booking amount goes.

GST on real estate: 1% vs 5%

Working from home in Shela for foreign clients — do I need GST and books?

A freelancer or consultant with gross receipts up to ₹50 lakh — ₹75 lakh if at least 95% is received digitally, which export receipts always are — can declare 50% of receipts as income under Section 44ADA and skip detailed books. GST registration becomes compulsory once receipts cross ₹20 lakh, but export of services is zero-rated: file a Letter of Undertaking each year and invoice foreign clients without charging GST, while claiming refund of input credit on your own expenses. Receipts through Payoneer or Wise still count as exports provided the money arrives in convertible foreign exchange or in rupees through an RBI-approved channel, and a FIRC or its equivalent is the document that proves it.

Section 44ADA for freelancers

Selling the Shela flat within two years of buying it

Immovable property held for 24 months or less is a short-term capital gain, taxed at the seller's slab rate with no exemption under Section 54 or 54EC — on a ₹10 lakh gain that can mean ₹3 lakh of tax at the top slab, versus ₹1.25 lakh at 12.5% if the sale had waited until month 25. The holding period runs from the date of the allotment letter for a builder purchase, not from possession or registration, which often brings an early sale over the line. If a sale in under two years is unavoidable, the loss or gain still has to be reported in the return for that year, and the buyer will deduct 1% TDS on any sale above ₹50 lakh.

CA in Shela — Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle capital gains on property sales in Shela?

Yes — Shela's active property market means a lot of capital-gains work: computation under the 12.5% route or the grandfathered 20%-with-indexation route (whichever is lower for a resident who bought before 23 July 2024), Section 54/54EC/54F exemption structuring, and (for NRI sellers) Section 197 lower-TDS certificates. Try our capital gains calculator for an estimate.

Can you register a company for a new business in Shela?

Yes — Pvt Ltd, LLP and OPC registration for Shela's first-time founders, including DSC, DIN, SPICe+ and post-incorporation GST. Most are incorporated within 7-10 working days.

I bought my first home in Shela — what can I claim?

Under the old regime, home loan interest up to ₹2 lakh under Section 24(b) on a self-occupied property, plus principal repayment within the ₹1.5 lakh 80C limit. Under the new regime neither is available on a self-occupied property — which is often the single fact that decides which regime suits a first-time buyer.

What GST applies when buying an under-construction flat here?

Affordable housing is taxed at 1% without input tax credit and other residential units at 5% without credit, subject to the notified conditions. A completed property with an occupancy certificate carries no GST at all, so the timing of your purchase changes the cost.

I freelance from home — do I need to maintain full books?

Not necessarily. Eligible professionals can declare 50% of gross receipts as income under Section 44ADA, up to the notified receipts limit, with no books and no audit. For a high-margin freelancer that is usually both simpler and cheaper than regular computation.
