Common Pitfalls
Costly errors we routinely help clients fix — or better, avoid altogether.
JDA Capital Gains Trigger
JDA may trigger capital gains for landowner at execution itself unless Section 45(5A) conditions are met (registered JDA + completion certificate transfer).
GST on JDA Services
Developer's construction services to landowner attract GST (now at 5%); structuring affects who pays.
Revenue-Share Disputes
Vague revenue-share definitions ("net sale proceeds") are litigation magnets; precise definitions essential.
RERA Compliance Skipping
JDA projects exceeding RERA thresholds need registration; both developer and landowner share liability.
