Commission Policy

Home/Commission Policy

1. Policy Statement

Broker Gully operates exclusively as a technology facilitator and not as a brokerage agency. The platform does not claim any percentage of the final transaction value or commission earned by brokers from closed deals, except where explicitly stated for specific managed services.

Core Principle: 100% of the deal commission is the property of the participating brokers.

2. Broker-to-Broker Commission Standards

When a transaction involves two brokers via the Lead Transfer feature, the commission sharing arrangement is a private contract between those parties.

A. Recommended Split Ratio

While users are free to negotiate terms, the platform recommends the industry-standard split to maintain fairness:

  • 50% to the Lead Owner: The broker who originated the client requirement.
  • 50% to the Property Owner: The broker who facilitated the property viewing and closure.

B. Agreement Documentation

To mitigate the risk of disputes, users are strongly advised to confirm the split ratio in writing via the Broker Chat interface prior to transferring the lead.

  • Digital Evidence: In the event of a dispute, the in-app chat history serves as the primary evidence of the agreement.

3. Platform Service Charges

Broker Gully generates revenue through transparent service fees rather than commission cuts. The following charges apply:

  • Subscription Fees: Monthly or annual charges for Premium/Pro account access (e.g., unlimited postings, priority lead access).
  • Featured Listing Fees: One-time charges to prioritize specific property cards in the Region Feed.
  • Verified Lead Purchase: Optional "Pay-Per-Lead" charges for acquiring direct, verified client contacts from the platform.

4. Billing & Taxation

  • Payment Methods: All platform fees must be settled via digital channels (UPI, Credit Card, Net Banking). Cash payments are not accepted.
  • Goods & Services Tax (GST): A mandatory levy of 18% GST applies to all service payments.
    Users may input their GSTIN in the Profile Settings to claim Input Tax Credit.
  • Invoicing: Tax invoices are automatically generated on the 1st of every month and dispatched to the registered email address.

5. Non-Payment & Dispute Resolution

Limitation of Liability

As Broker Gully does not hold the transaction funds, the platform cannot legally enforce commission payouts between brokers.

Misconduct & Enforcement

The platform enforces a strict policy against financial dishonesty.

  • Reporting: Users may flag a transaction for non-payment by submitting evidence (Chat logs and Deal Closure proof).
  • Investigation: The Compliance Team will review the submitted evidence.
  • Sanctions: Any broker found to be withholding an agreed commission will face immediate and permanent suspension from the Broker Gully network.

Best Practice for Transaction Safety

Users are advised to maintain a clear digital footprint of the transaction lifecycle. Always update the lead status to "In Progress" or "Deal Closed" within the application to officially record the partnership.
