Is there any regulatory framework for property YouTube influencers?

The news of SEBI crackdown on YouTuber Ravindra Balu Bharti for illegal investment advisory services has come as a reality check for many influencers. These influencers are offering unregistered and more often than not paid investment advice by the vested parties. But financial influencers or Finfluencers, as they say, are not the only influence peddlers that need to be checked. The property influencers, or Propinfluencers, are even greater threat. After all, one invests in stock market with surplus money where amount is much lesser than one’s investment in property that is life’s costliest purchase and mostly with borrowed money. Ravi Sinha questions why there is no regulatory framework for property influencers.

Why ASCI red flags misleading ads with real estate?

Real estate advertisements are most exploitative, says  ASCI. In its “Half-Yearly Complaints Report 2024-25”, the self-regulatory body ASCI (Advertising Standards Council of India) said that of all the 3031 ads investigated, around 34% were from the real estate sector alone.  It was followed by 29% ads from illegal betting and 8% from the healthcare sector. Track2Realty is conscious of the fact that the builders would challenge this allegation tooth & nail. The developers that we have spoken to have either denied existence of such practices or have even questioned the legitimacy of ASCI.

Is RERA a rating agency?

Is RERA a rating agency? Does real estate regulation & promotion all about promotion, especially when RERA has not been a success story to regulate arguably India’s most dirty business. The question arises because in a couple of States the RERA had earlier announced to rate & grade the developers with much fanfare. It is a different matter that Track2Realty had questioned it since beginning as to whether RERA has stood up to the cause for which it was enacted. Whether SEBI or IRDA rates the companies which it monitors as the regulators?

Will Indian home buyers finally have Uniform Builder Buyer Agreement?

Uniform Builder Buyer Agreement (BBA) has been the demand of Indian home buyers for long. In the absence of it, while the home buyers were being harassed by the unscrupulous builders, the sector was at the receiving end of poor perception in the collective consciousness. Track2Realty evaluates whether a Model Builder Buyer Agreement will be a reality after the repeated interventions by the Supreme Court of India.

Is UP Government tightening the noose around erring builders?

The question here is why are these builders not executing registries even after obtaining the OC (Occupancy Certificate) & CC (Completion Certificate) from the authorities concerned. The fact is that these smart developers delay & often deny registries to the home buyers to get maintenance of society when it is not registered. They continue to charge hefty amount in the name of society maintenance. Add ot it, revenue that they get from inflated power bills. After the registry of the apartment, majority of apartments buyers are free to form AOA (Apartment Owners’ Association).

Is RERA a rehabilitation center of ex bureaucrats?

RERA is yet again under the scanner after the Supreme Court of India questioned whether it is a rehabilitation center of ex bureaucrats. The functioning and performance of RERA, or rather lack of it, has been challenged at each and every level in now nearly 8 years of its existence. A Track2Realty report. Wait! I am not giving any opinion. My opinion is already there in the public domain. Now the Apex Court in the country, the Supreme Court of India is saying so. I have always maintained that the very purpose of RERA was defeated when the ex-Bureaucrats were made the Chairman and members.

Government idea of LTCG Tax simplification is too complicated for Indians

Very few budget announcements in recent past have raised as many queries as the LTCG (Long Term Capital Gains) Tax. After all, it concerns all of us, the common citizens of India, whether they are lower class or middle class. For the rich, it has always been a case of more tax reliefs than burden. Track2Realty is regularly getting queries with the underlying worry as to whether the LTCG Amendment makes the tax computation simpler or more complicated.

Maharashtra RERA judgment has potential to change housing market

Maharashtra RERA has recently given a landmark judgment that every State RERA should follow. MahaRERA makes it mandatory for real estate developers to mention delivery date of amenities and occupation certificate. Track2Realty finds that amenities delivery has been a bone of contention between builders and home buyers across the country. MahaRERA has said that now onwards real estate developers must specify the proposed date by which project amenities and Occupancy Certificate (OC) will be delivered.

Will States going to polls reduce Stamp Duty on property?

When the Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, urged the States to cut Stamp Duty rates in her 2024-25 budget presentation, this was by & large seen as a mere headline making statement. Why would States cut the Stamp Duty on property when it is one of the major sources of revenue, was the general feeling in the collective consciousness. But now sources tell Track2Realty that there had been a message of deep meaning to the States going to polls.
