Under Indian law, service tax is typically paid on the construction of the flat and not on the sale itself. Therefore, a refund of service tax is unlikely in this scenario, as the service has already been rendered.

I have concerns: they charged a higher area rate based on current prices, levied a Rs 70 per square foot farmer compensation without explanation, demanded illogical fees not in the original agreement, and didn’t offer any late penalty. They pressured me to pay, threatening cancellation. I paid under protest, but want to explore legal options. Any advice?
