Govt Sops can Revive Real Estate Sector

Eyeing fresh signs of a revival in the economy, which should nudge growth back to 9% level by end-2010, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee announced fresh tax giveaways for housing and renewed the government’s commitment to more economic reforms and introduction of a single goods and services tax (GST) by 1 April. The move, expected to further boost housing demand in the economy especially in tier II cities, also seeks to quell growing criticism that the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) is averse to second-generation reforms. Replying to the debate on the Finance Bill, which was approved by a voice vote by the Lok Sabha, Mukherjee renewed his efforts to strike political consensus on key areas of tax reform, including the introduction of a direct tax code. The reply also calibrated a few of his 6 July Budget tax proposals, which are not expected to result in big revenue giveaways, thereby precluding the possibility of a marked increase in the Rs4 trillion fiscal deficit for

Govt Announces Bill to Regulate Real Estate Sector by Aug-Sept

The minister for housing and urban poverty alleviation, Kumari Selja has announced a model bill for regulating the real estate sector by August-September timeframe. Talking about the 100 day agenda for her ministry, Selja said that the Model Bill would propose a regulator and aim to address the concerns of consumers as well as the real estate industry. The finer details of the Model Bill could not be ascertained. She said, “We have initiated a dialogue with all key stakeholders including private sector, NGOs, and various States to prepare the model Bill for regulating the real estate sector.” Bangalore -based realtor Ozonegroup has announced the launch of its maiden township project — ‘The Metrozone’ — in Chennai . The project will be a joint venture between Ozonegroup, HDFC India Real Estate Fund and Urban Infrastructure Opportunities Fund and would involve an overall investment of Rs 2,500 crore and is likely to be completed in about 52 months. Spread over an area of 42.5 acres, the

Hike expected in Income Tax Exemption on Home Loans

The government is considering a proposal to hike income-tax exemption available for interest payment on home loans to Rs 2.5 lakh a year, to boost demand and rebuild the slowdown-hit housing industry. The ministry of housing and urban development has urged finance minister Pranab Mukherjee to make an announcement to this effect as part of his Budget presentation in early July, a government official said on condition of anonymity. At present, taxpayers taking housing loans are eligible for income-tax exemption on interest payment of up to Rs 1.5 lakh every year. Besides this, the repayment of principal amount is part of investments eligible for benefit under Section 80(C) of the Income-Tax Act, which has a ceiling of Rs 1 lakh. The government has already identified housing as one of its focus areas, a fact highlighted by President Pratibha Patil in her address to both the houses of Parliament. The existing tax exemption limit is considered inadequate at a time when a two-bedroom house i

Pune metro train could be a reality by 2014

PUNE: Suggesting the functional structure for the proposed Pune Metro Rail Corporation (PMRC), the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's (DMRC) final draft report envisages that the Pune metro project can be completed by 2014-2015 at a cost of Rs 8,401 (corridor -I) and Rs 9,534 (corridor II). The report says that the Pune metro, like the DMRC, can ask for concession on value-added tax as well as concession in electricity and other municipal taxes. "The PMC needs 64,435 hectares of land for the metro. Beside this, there is a need for another 4 hectares of land which could come from the Agriculture college land. This 1,04,435 hectares could be commercially exploited and developed by allowing 4 FSI. Around Rs 600 crore could come in this way," says the report. In practical terms, however, this might not be so easy. The agriculture college has already announced that it will not give its land for the project. "The area, along with the metro corridor, could be commercially expl

Lull over, realty ready to roar again

As developers cut debt, offload assets and push sales, investors start trickling back Investors and analysts have begun re-rating the realty sector on optimism that the worst may be over, as the efforts of recent months and a stable global environment will help developers attract funds and boost earnings. Developers in the past year have restructured debt, sold non-core assets and tweaked product mix, helping to push up sales. This has encouraged investors to buy stocks of real estate companies and motivate analysts to revise price targets and upgrade the outlook on the sector. "The stabilisation in the international market improved financials arising out of restructuring of loans and enhanced liquidity from banks have resulted in revision in the outlook for the sector," said Dipesh Sohani, an analyst with MF Global, an equity brokerage. "The real estate players are better placed now than what they were two-three quarters before." Reflecting the positive sentiment,

Silver Lining

WITH an upswing in the Indian equity market, the tide seems to be turning particularly for real estate developers. Realty stocks have recovered 50-60% from their 52-week lows. Recently, realty majors Unitech, Indiabulls and DLF came out with their qualified institutional placement (QIP) issue and it received a very good response. The three companies cumulatively raised a little over Rs 8,000 crore. The success of this fund-raising activity brings hope for this cash strapped sector when demand offtake is very low. Indiabulls Real Estate issued 14.36 crore equity shares at Rs 185 per share to raise Rs 2,656.5 crore through QIP. It is believed that Indiabulls will use the funding for its projects in Mumbai. Unitech too raised $325 million through QIP. Part of the funds would be used to repay debt. The promoter's stake afterthe QIP has come down in both the cases. DLF's promoters sold 9.9% stake in DLF for Rs 3,850 crore to its existing institutional investors. This money is raised

The Indian Banks' Association (IBA) would review the response of borrowers towards the SBI scheme after three weeks and if it finds that there has been a good response, other banks will follow suit, according to a top IBA official. "We would review the consumer's response (towards the scheme) and then take a decision accordingly," IBA chairman T S Narayanasamy told ET on the sidelines of a meeting here on Monday.

Realtors set free of service tax burden on sale of apartments

PROPERTY developers building residential complexes will not have to pay service tax on sale of apartments now, as the tax department has cleared the ambiguity on taxability of these companies. The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) in a circular has said construction service provided by a builder to a person buying the apartment till the execution of sale deed would not attract service tax. Usually, developers enter into an 'agreement to sell' with the buyer of the property. But the property remains under the ownership of the developer and it is only after the completion of the construction and full payment of the agreed sum that a sale deed is executed and ownership of the property transferred to the buyer. "Therefore, any service provided by such seller in connection with the construction of residential complex till the execution of such sale deed would be in the nature of 'self-service' and consequently will not attract service tax," the circular sa
