 GST on Delayed payment charges in case of late payment of EMIs [Sec 15(2)(d)]
Ex 1. Mr. X sells a mobile phone to Mr. Y. Cost of mobile phone is Rs. 40,000. Mr. X gives Mr. Y an option to pay in instalments of Rs. 11,000 every month before 10th day of next month,
over next 4 months (11000 × 4 = Rs. 44000). If there is any delay in payment by Mr. Y beyond scheduled date, Mr. Y would be liable to pay additional interest of Rs. 500 p.m for delay.
◆ Services by way of Extending loans or advances, consideration for which is represented by Interest or Discount (other than interest in credit card services) is exempt from GST.
In this case, Mr, X is not getting interest for extending any deposit, loan or advance. Mr. X is getting interest from Mr. Y for delayed/deferred payment of consideration (which is not
exempt). Thus, GST will be levied on such interest. Thus, Value of Mobile phone = Rs. 44,000 & GST will be levied on Rs. 44,000.
◆ As per section 15, Interest, late fee, Penalty for delayed payment of any consideration for any supply. Thus, penal interest is to be included in value of supply [as per section 15(2)(d)].
Transaction b/w Mr. X & Mr. Y is for supply of goods (mobile). Thus, Penal interest would be taxable as it would be included in value of mobile, irrespective of manner of invoicing.
Ex 2. Mr. X sells a mobile phone to Mr. Y. Cost of mobile phone is Rs 40,000. Mr. Y has the option to avail a loan at interest of 2.5% per month for purchasing the mobile from ABC Ltd.
Terms of loan from ABC Ltd. allows Y to repay the loan in 4 months & additional/penal interest @ 1.25% PM for any delay in payment. In this case, ABC Ltd. is getting interest for
extending loan to Mr. X. Thus, GST will be levied on such interest. Thus, Value of Mobile phone = Rs. 40,000 & GST will be levied on Rs. 40,000.
Additional/Penal interest is charged for a transaction between Mr. Y & ABC Ltd. & same is getting covered under exemption Entry 27. Thus, 'Penal interest' charged on a transaction
between Mr. Y & ABC Ltd. would not be subject to GST as the same would be covered under said exemption entry.
Note: Any service fee/charge like processing fees are levied by ABC Ltd. i.r.o transaction related to extending loans/advances is not exempted from GST (only interest is exempt).

If a person owns 2 flats in a complex, Limit for exemption shall be Rs. 7,500 × 2 Flats = Rs. 15,000.
