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.

Union Budget 2024-25: Removal of indexation benefits with capital gains hurts home buyers’ sentiments

As the Finance Minister Ms Nirmala Sitharaman announced to lower the LTCG (Long Term Capital Gains) from 20% to 12.5%, the stock market took a hit. The analysts across the financial spectrum immediately swung into analysis that the LTCG hike would adversely affect the stock market in the short term but big pocket investors won’t be affected as much as presumed. A section of financial wizards who understand the nuances of personal finance across the asset classes had even bigger a worry – Real Estate. Prima facie what looked like the LTCG being lowered from 20% to now at 12.5%, has in fact hurt the property market the most. Reason: the indexation benefit under Section 48 that is presently available for property, gold, and other unlisted assets have been now proposed to be removed.

RBI’s proposed project finance norms boon or bane?

The stock market in general and banks, realty stocks & shares of infrastructure finance companies in particular reacted sharply to the draft proposal of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that suggested tighter project financing norms of banks to project financing. The Indian real estate projects already weathering headwinds to attract project finance immediately swung into cost & benefit analysis. Though most of the leading developers were cautious in giving critical reactions, privately they all maintained that the RBI should have rather looked into the funding gap of the viable under construction real estate projects with cash receivables in the pipeline.

Will fractional ownership change commercial property market ahead?

Fractional Ownership is an evolving concept, on the lines of REIT but very different from REIT. Unlike REIT, which is a listed entity owning income producing real estate, Fractional Ownership is coming together of investors to pool their funds and jointly purchase real estate. Though in its very essence, the idea is to rent it out and earn the equitable rentals, many ‘office for a limited purpose’ investors are also getting into Fractional Ownership for convenience.

India’s tryst with urban housing since independence

India’s urban housing today could at best be described as a soda bottle syndrome where the constant rural push to the select few urban centers could explode at any given point of time. It is not that the policy makers are unaware with the growing population and its dependence over the metro cities. As a matter of fact, when the country’s first planned city, Chandigarh, came into existence as a horizontal city that could cater as the capital of both the Punjab and Haryana State, it seemed to be independent India’s first tryst with organized urban planning in general and its housing solution in particular.

Union Budget 2022-23: Unanswered questions for real estate

The Union Budget 2022-23 lacked any fresh ideas as far as the real estate in general and the housing market in particular is concerned. Most of the announcements are more or less the extension of the old schemes and roadmaps. The euphoria of the industry stakeholders ahead of the budget turned into a deafening silence in the next few hours of budget speech.
