Ready to Move Office Space in Gurgaon

On the buying side, ready to move is not just a convenience — it is a tax position. A completed office that already has its completion certificate attracts no GST at all. An under-construction commercial unit attracts 12%.

On a ₹1 crore purchase that is ₹12 lakh. It is the single largest number in the ready-versus-under-construction decision, and most comparisons leave it out.

The GST position, stated plainly

The reason is that a completed sale is treated as a transfer of immovable property rather than a supply of construction services. It falls outside GST entirely.

The counter-argument is input tax credit. A GST-registered buyer who can use the credit against output tax effectively recovers much of that 12%. Which route is cheaper depends on whether you can actually use it — work that out with your accountant before you compare headline prices.

Where ready office space is, and what it costs

Furnished ready space on Sohna Road has quoted about ₹60-95 per sq ft a month, which is the fastest route from decision to working office anywhere in the city.

Ready against under construction

Ready gives you: no GST on purchase, no delivery risk, rent from day one on an investment, and the ability to see exactly what you are buying — the lifts, the parking, the neighbours, the actual state of the common areas.

Under construction gives you: newer specification, modern parking ratios, a lower price per square foot, input tax credit if you can use it, and payment spread across the construction period.

On Dwarka Expressway, where most supply is under construction and rates run ₹8,500-17,500 per sq ft, that trade is the central question. On Sohna Road, where ready stock is deep and cheap, it barely arises.

What to check on a ready office

1. The completion certificate itself. This is what removes GST, so see the document rather than take the word for it.
2. Age of the building services. Lifts, chillers and DG sets have finite lives, and a building at the end of a cycle passes those costs to occupiers through CAM.
3. CAM history, not the budget. Ask for last year's actual charge per sq ft.
4. Parking ratio. Ready stock is older stock, and Gurgaon's older towers are well below modern ratios.
5. Existing fit-out condition, if you are taking furnished space — recorded in a schedule with photographs.

Who ready to move suits

Occupiers who need to be working within weeks. Buyers who want to avoid GST and delivery risk. Investors who want rent producing from day one rather than after a construction period and a lease-up.

It suits you less if you want the newest specification and can wait, or if you are GST-registered and can use the input tax credit on an under-construction purchase — in which case the 12% argument largely disappears.

What you pay beyond the rent

The quoted per-square-foot figure is rarely what leaves your account. On a Gurgaon office lease, budget for all of this:

• Security deposit — commonly three to six months' rent on a commercial lease, and higher in Grade A buildings than in plot-built stock.
• CAM (common area maintenance) — charged on top of rent, and it is the line that varies most between buildings. Ask for the current rate per sq ft and last year's actual, not the budget.
• GST at 18% on commercial rent. If you are GST-registered and using the space for taxable supplies, you can claim it as input tax credit. If your landlord is not registered and you are, reverse charge applies and you pay it directly.
• TDS at 10% under Section 194-I, once annual rent crosses Rs 6 lakh — that threshold rose from Rs 2.4 lakh with effect from 1 April 2025. TDS is deducted on the rent, not on the GST component.
• Parking — usually charged per bay per month, separately from rent, and the allocation is a negotiating point.
• Electricity and DG backup — metered separately, with DG typically billed per unit at a higher rate than grid power.
• Brokerage — customarily one to two months' rent on a commercial lease.

If you are buying rather than leasing

Registration in Haryana is charged on the higher of the agreement value or the collector rate, and for commercial property in Gurugram the position is:

• Stamp duty — 7% for a male buyer inside municipal limits, 5% for a female buyer and 6% for joint buyers. Outside municipal limits the rates drop to 5% and 3%.
• Registration fee — 1% of the value, capped at Rs 50,000.
• GST — 12% with input tax credit on an under-construction commercial purchase. Nil on a completed property that already has its completion certificate, because that is a sale of immovable property rather than a supply of construction services.
• Collector rate — the floor for valuation, and it is set separately for commercial and residential use. Check the current Gurugram collector rate schedule for the sector before you agree a price, and our Gurgaon registration charges guide for the full working.

On a Rs 1 crore commercial purchase inside municipal limits, that is roughly Rs 7 lakh in stamp duty and Rs 50,000 in registration — about 8% before you count GST.

FAQs

Is there GST on a ready to move office in Gurgaon?

No. A completed commercial property that already has its completion certificate attracts no GST, because the sale is treated as a transfer of immovable property rather than a supply of construction services. An under-construction commercial unit attracts 12%.

How much does the GST difference save on a ready office?

12% of the purchase price. On a ₹1 crore unit that is ₹12 lakh. The offset is input tax credit, which a GST-registered buyer can claim on an under-construction purchase — so which route is cheaper depends on whether you can actually use the credit.

Where is ready to move office space available in Gurgaon?

Ready supply is deepest on Sohna Road in Sectors 48 and 49, in Sushant Lok for small units, on MG Road for metro-connected towers, and in New Gurgaon for small lockable units from about ₹17,500 a month. Ready Grade A floors are available in Cyber City and on Golf Course Road.

What should I check before buying a ready to move office?

See the completion certificate itself, check the age of the lifts, chillers and DG sets, ask for last year's actual CAM charge rather than the budget, confirm the parking ratio, and record the condition of any existing fit-out in a schedule with photographs.

Is ready to move more expensive than under construction?

Per square foot, usually yes. But it carries no GST, no delivery risk and produces rent immediately. Under construction is cheaper per square foot with newer specification, and payment spread across the build.

How quickly can I occupy a ready to move office in Gurgaon?

Days to weeks for furnished space, against three to four months for a bare shell fit-out. Furnished ready space on Sohna Road has quoted about ₹60-95 per sq ft a month.
