The much anticipated real estate regulation bill is proposed to be tabled in the winter session of the parliament for approval. Before that, it has been sent to law ministry for vetting and then to the cabinet for the final nod before sending it to the parliament to become a law.
This bill has come as a welcome relief for the buyer but the real estate industry is in doldrums. The real estate industry is all furious as this bill imposes harsh punishment for any irregularities.
The bill proposes to set up regulatory machinery named Real Estate Regulatory Authority for implementation of the provisions of the bill. The main objective of the bill is to create transparency and accountability in the real estate sector which has been lacking for such a long time.
Main provision asks the builder to register all the projects with the prescribed authority. If not, then it is going to attract penalty and imprisonment up to three years.
Another provision that makes things hard for the real estate sector is that they have to commit time frame for the completion of the project. Further they have to deposit 70% of the money taken from the buyer in a separate account and it has to be used only for that purpose.
Sellers cannot advertise or start booking of the flats without registering with the nodal agency. The developer has to share all the details like land status, approval, contract structure before the nodal agency.
These provisions are really tightening the screws on the developers and are going to provide some relief to the customers.
The issue of the unorganized agency services has also been addressed. Now all the property brokers have to obtain license to do business. The main aim of this clause is to eliminate malpractice and cheating which is carried on regular basis.
The bill has been modified 8-9 times and is doing rounds for 3 years now. It has seen about 3000 comments from developers and buyer before it was given final shape.
Never thought of a house as an investment; then it is a good time to know about its pros and cons so that one can choose the path one feels comfortable.
When one buys a house with a sole aim of reselling them within a year; it is a good option. Let us go into the details. Buying a house when the projects starts and selling it, when it is completed will fetch good returns. But these are point to be considered,
If one funds the buying with his savings, then it is an attractive investment. But, when going for a loan, one has to pay the interest, not the EMI until you sell the house. This is a burden one has consider and there is no tax exemption.
Then there is the issue of capital gain tax which creeps in when one sells his house within the period of 3 years There is no possibility of tax saving in capital gains ,when one sells the house during this period.
There is another option. One can go for an outright purchase of a finished property. Paying the EMI and getting the rentals from the property and availing the tax deductions under 80C for the loan sounds good. One can enjoy the benefits of rent for 3 years, then sell the property. But there is a catch, rentals from the property is taxable.
All these scenarios have to be considered before taking a decision.
Today, man has the technology to convert dust into a product. One example is the fly ash bricks.
Fly ash is a waste product generated from the combustion of coal. This acts as a raw material for fly ash bricks which is used in construction industries. In the real estate sectors where the cost of construction is ever rising and buyers feel the heat; fly ash brick acts as an alternative solutions for clay bricks which are in heavy demand.
