Is GST Included? The Real Monthly Outflow

No, GST is not included; the ₹8,000 base price attracts 18% GST, which takes the monthly package to ₹9,440/seat. This is standard; almost every registered coworking provider in India offers coworking services that attract an 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST).

The Breakdown

  • Base Seat Cost: ₹8,000

  • 18% GST: ₹1,440

  • Total Monthly Plan: ₹9,440

Note: Registered businesses with an active GSTIN can claim 18% tax as (Input Tax Credit). If your business qualifies for ITC, the coworking remains the base rate of ₹8,000.

What’s NOT Included: Common Additional Charges​

If you want to avoid unexpected extra coworking space charges, check which services incur usage charges and are covered by standard credits.

  • Meeting Rooms: Your monthly membership plan includes monthly meeting room credits. If you utilise all your credits, the additional hours start at ₹100/seat/hour.

  • Car Parking: Usually, the two-wheeler parking is open (at a few locations), but requiring a dedicated parking slot for a four-wheeler costs a separate monthly charge.

  • Printing: Standard printing is covered under your monthly membership package. High-volume prints or specialised colour prints are cost per page.

  • IT & Server Needs: High-speed internet and standard LAN are included. If your company requires a private network (VLAN), dedicated server or static IP, setup and maintenance fees apply.

Dedicated Desk vs. Private Cabin at alt.f

Choosing between an open desk and a private office depends on how much quiet space and privacy your team needs.​

alt.f Perks for Private Cabins

Choosing a private team room at alt.f coworking provides your business with operational and financial advantages.

  • Heavy Security Deposit: Requires 6 to 9 months of security deposits.

  • Separate Operational Bills: You pay individual bills for high-speed internet, electricity, daily cleaning, security, and AC maintenance.

  • Long-Term Commitments: Forces your businesses into long 3- to 5-year contracts with heavy penalties for scaling down or early exit.

Coworking Space at alt.f

  • Zero Setup Costs: ₹0 spent on design or construction. Move into a fully equipped, plug-and-play space from day one.

  • Low Deposit Terms: Requires only 1 to 2 months of security deposit (which is refundable), keeping your cash flow free.

  • All Inclusive: The seat price (starting at ₹8,000/seat) covers power backup, high-speed Wi-Fi, security, AC and housekeeping.

  • Flexibility: Get seats on short-term flexible contracts and scale up or down whenever required.​
