A Vastu report is only as good as the North direction and boundary you set on your own plan. For a standard rectangular home, the automated grids answer most directional questions honestly; book a consultation when the plot is irregular or the decision is irreversible.
Toilet position as per Vastu
The WC is a waste zone. It should not sit in the North-East (Eshanya) or the centre. North-West (air) and, secondarily, South-East are the rooms most often used for attached toilets in Indian apartments.
A bathroom without a WC (shower only) is a milder reading than a WC. Still keep wet areas out of the North-East corner of the whole home.
Attached toilet in the master bedroom
If the master bedroom is correctly in the South-West, an attached WC should sit toward the South or West of that room, not toward the North-East corner of the bedroom.

Where should the toilet be as per Vastu?
North-West is the usual preference for a WC. South-East is a common alternative. Avoid the North-East and the Brahmasthan (centre). Measure from the plan centre, not from the bathroom door.
Is a toilet in the North-East bad Vastu?
Yes — North-East is water and clarity. A WC there is one of the highest-impact defects. If it cannot move, keep it immaculate, door closed, and do not add a pooja shelf on the same wall.
