Affordable Housing, Easing Capital Gains Tax – Budget 2017 Brought Relief To Real Estate

Union Budget 2017

Budget 2017 for Real Estate – A Glance
Affordable housing developers now can take a sigh of relief as they can have most of the benefits for real estate market according to Union Budget 2017. Good news rolled out as the finance minister Mr. Arun Jaitley gave easing off of the capital gains tax and bringing low-cost housing.

As per Budget 2017, the developers can now seek institutional funding besides several subsidies, incentives, and tax benefits. The key factor that gave a boost to the decision of bringing affordable housing programme is the raising of rural housing allocation by 50 per cent. In the meanwhile, Neeraj Bansal – BCRE Sector’s Partner and Head, KPMG, India, is  expecting government to set free the prime urban land for the purpose of affordable housing plan.

On the other hand, relaxation on tax over long term capital gains and joint development agreements, are also expected to be ease off tax liability from on the builders’ head.

The changes in income tax slabs have also been noted in the Budget 2017 and this will, certainly, bring about positive change in the disposable incomes and thus, the real estate. The rebate for the individual income slabs of up to Rs. 5 lakhs, as was expected by the real estate sector, is announced and is expected to be a helpful move increasing the disposable income. The latter, in turn, will be a backup in case of spurs consumption and the plan and demand for housing will meet positive effects.

Changes brought in terms of Capital Gain Tax –
Tenure for Capital Gain Tax in Budget 2017 has been reduced to 2 years from 3 years. In addition to this, developers will have relaxation of one year to pay the tax levied on notional rental income for the properties that are ready-but-unsold.

Union Budget 2017 for Reality Segment in Detail:
With continuous stress on ‘housing for all’ by the Modi government, Budget 2017 as presented by the Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley contains similar lines. Eyeing on more participation from private players, budget 2017 has paved a way for cheaper funding for developers as well as first time home buyers by granting ‘affordable housing’ and ‘infrastructure’ status. This move is expected to act as a major component to attain the objective of “Housing for All” by 2022 and it will allow a number of good companies along with External Commercial Borrowings to venture into affordable housing. This sector prominently contributes to the 15% of country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

In order to bring more transparency into the real estate segment, cash transaction above 3 lakhs shall not be allowed which will stabilize the prices in secondary real estate market. A New Foreign Direct Policy (FDI) is already into consideration with a view to attract more Foreign Direct Investment within the sector. Various other highlights will brighten the realty segment directly or indirectly are as follows:

1. Taxation of Capital Gains of Joint Development Agreement
This required change has been proposed within Budget 2017, where the landowner develops a property under joint development agreement, shall only be subject to capital gain when the projects get completed. This move will not just avoid litigations but will bring more clarity by unlocking land for development as well.

2. Low Cost Housing
As the criteria of affordable housing area have been changed from 30/60 sq metre built-up area to 30/60 square metre carpet area, this segment has become more lucrative. Since the homebuyers will now get options for more spacious housing, builders shall also be able to market their property to a larger segment of prospective buyers.

3. Tax Break of 1 year
The move has brought some sigh of relief for the builders as they will be able to save taxation cost post 1 year of obtaining the completion certificate for their unsold inventory. In such scenario, as the cost of unsold inventory shall not get inflated with the liability of taxation, prices of the housing will remain steady for 1 year post completion of the project. It will also discourage the speculative investments which will further pull down the price volatility.

4. Reduction in Income Tax Rate
Since the basic earning slab has been reduced to 5% for the individual having income between Rs. 2,50,000 and Rs. 5,00,000, it will boost the disposable income of these individuals by Rs. 12,500. Various banks have already reduced the home loan rates, various incentives have been provided on low cost housing. All these factors together will fuel up the demand for the affordable housing segment.

5. Increase in Project Completion Timelines
Another big sigh of relief for developers as they will now get more time to sell off their inventory. The project completion timelines have been raised to 5 years for the affordable residential projects.

6. Greater Inflow of Funds within Reality
With the positive sentiments within real estate segment and an upswing in the demand in view of various incentives provided by the government, banking sector shall also be willing to lend more for the affordable housing project. This will help in timely transfer of possessions to the homebuyers as the projects shall not get delayed due to lack of funds.

7. Shift in Capital Gain Indexation
From 01.04.81 to 01.04.2001, the slab for indexation has been shifted under the budget which will help in reducing the liability of taxation on capital gains.

8. Incentives for Startups
Time period for 3-year profit-linked incentives are revised and is decided as 7 years which was 5 years earlier. Moreover, the condition of holding 51% of voting rights has also been relaxed for the purpose of carry forward of losses, provided the holding of the original promoter(s) continues.

9. Reduction in the holding of Immovable Period
Earlier an immovable property which is held longer than 3 years shall gets accounted for Capital Gain Tax. This budget has brought an amendment in the periods of holding and brought it down to 2 years. It is expected to fuel the secondary sales in the market.

10. Tax Exemption for Medium Enterprises
Post demonetization, many small builders in the country were affected adversely. This budget has brought a relief by providing a tax exemption of 5% for enterprises having turnover below Rs. 50 crores.

11. Extension for Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT)
As requested by start-ups to remove the MAT, finance Minister has relieved them partially by extending their carry forward period from 5 years to 15 years.

From infrastructure, affordable housing and manufacturing, the Budget 2017 has initiated all the efforts in the development of new industrial cities and thus decongesting urban, improving connectivity and making many housing projects in city outskirts more viable from the prospective of living:
1. Infrastructure sector has been allocated Rs. 3,69,135 crores of funds for the infrastructural developments.
2. Extension up to 6000 district is granted under Indira Awas Yojana (IAY).
3. Rs. 64,000 crores have been allocated for the development of highways connecting far flung areas to the main    stream.
4. To boost the transportation infrastructure, Rs. 2.41 lakhs has been granted under the budget.
5. A fund of Rs. 23,000 crore if granted to Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
6. National Housing Bank will refinance loans up to Rs. 20,000 crores which will give a big push to affordable    Housing Finance Companies like Gruh Finance, AU housing and Repco.
7. By 2019, around 1 crore rural housing shall be provided.
8. Highest ever allocation to MGNREGA at Rs. 48,000 crores.

This budget will positively impact the realty sector by providing better options for the middle-class as well as the lower-middle class aiming to buy their first homes. The real estate will surely witness enhanced demand with reputed, organized and credible players on the ground. There is no surprise that homebuyers in 2017 will have the best time with surplus liquidity and lower cost of funds from banks.

10 Expectations From Union Budget 2017-18 For Real Estate Sector

    BUDGET 2017

    In order to standardize construction inputs, there is a constant demand from stakeholders to raise House Rent Allowance (HRA) deduction. On the other hand, to boost the demand in reality sector developers are seeking more clarity on Goods & Services Tax (GST). With the belief to grow at a much higher pace, following are the 10 expectations from Budget 2017 for real estate.

    Clarity on Beneficiaries under PMAY
    Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY) scheme has been launched recently by the government to make home loans cheaper under affordable housing section of realty sector. Under the scheme, for loans up to Rs. 12lakhs will attract 3% of interest and 4% interest shall be charges on a principal amount of up to Rs. 9lakhs for home loan. But the clarity is still not provided if this benefit shall be restricted to the Lower Income Group (LIG) and Economically Weaker Sector (EWS) or it can be extended to young urban professionals who are looking to buy apartments. As the scheme is focusing on affordable housing which is largely available in Tier II and Tier III cities and some fringe areas of metros, will it get extended to the redevelopment projects within metros?

    Clarity on Taxation of Joint Development Arrangements (JDAs)
    The price of a residential unit gets inflated with the multiple taxation and uncertainty in the tax positions.  When it comes to assessing a project cost, land acquisition constitutes a major part of it which varies 30% to 60% depending upon the project’s location. It is expected that the budget 2017 will introduce appropriate guidelines on the treatment of JDAs that will help to provide leaner balance sheets to the developers.

    Financial Protection from Project Delays
    Since the previous budget could not provide any financial protection to the end users against the delays in projects, upcoming budget is expected to bring the same to an extent. For under construction residential units a deduction of Rs.30,000 is provided in case the construction gets completed after 3 years. This cap of Rs.30,000 for interest deduction shall be reconsidered by the government in case of delayed projects.

    Removal of Section 50C and Section 43CA of Income Tax Act.
    Section 43CA and Section 50 C are the special provision for full value of consideration for assets transfer other than capital assets under certain cases. Budget 2017 is expected to do away the deemed taxation based on the stamp duty valuation for business assets. Any understatement of the consideration shall not be made applicable in cases like distress sale of the property by bank to recover its dues or any other reason provided by the assessee before the authorities. It shall be tackled by the mechanism of investigation.

    Granting Real Estate Segment an Industry Status
    In the absence of industry status, the developers are constrained to borrow the money for their projects at relatively higher prices. Delays in construction processes are majorly contributed by the stringent evaluation processes and absence of reasonable interest rate for funds borrowing. Not only this inflates the cost of projects, it also widens the gap between demand and supply. By granting an industry status to real estate sector, as the cost of borrowing will come down to an extent thus resulting into pushing up the housing demand in India.

    Single Window Clearance
    One of the key reasons of a gap between demand and supply of housing in metropolitan cities is the difficulty in obtaining permissions for the construction projects ultimately extending the process of construction. There has been a constant demand from developers to remove bureaucratic delays with a single-window clearance regime. It will not only curb the delays in delivery of homes, but also boost the real estate segment.

    Larger Incentives for First Time Home Buyers
    With the launch of many home-buyer friendly schemes by the government, Budget 2017 is expected to bring some more relief to the first time home buyers thus making home-buying more affordable. As the last budget provided an exemption of additional Rs. 50,000 for a house worth up to Rs 50 Lakhs with a loan amount up to INR 35 lakhs which largely benefited the end-users in Tier II and Tier III cities, the expectations are quite higher from the upcoming budget. It is expected that a higher limit shall be introduced to the big metros as well.

    Development of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Structure
    Budget 2017 is expected to bring down the threshold period to qualify as long term capital assets holding from 30 months to 12 months in case of REIT units. Any capital gain arising out of the sale of shares or property REIT should be exempted from the taxation. All these initiatives no doubt will make REITs more attractive proposition and ultimately making it a successful structure. Across seven top cities, 325 million square feet is a ready REIT-able commercial stock with an estimated value of Rs. 3,700 billion to Rs. 4,050 billion.

    Incentives for Developers to Construct More Commercial Units
    In order to attract more foreign investments, the government shall introduce concessions to developers for the development of commercial spaces. The growth of commercial establishment also surges the demand for retail, residential and hospitality segments. With greater foreign investments, India will outshine as a business power house.

    To Allow Developers the Fund Raising through External Commercial Borrowings
    In order to reduce the borrowing cost of funds for developers, government should allow them to raise the funds through ECB. With this move as the borrowing cost will go down significantly thus leading to fall in the cost of construction which can be passed on to the home-buyers with the reduction of prices making housing units more affordable.

    The Budget 2017 is also expected to extend some tax rebates for the projects which get delayed due to bonafide reasons with the aim of “Housing for all” by 2022. As the sector contributes approximately 15% of the nation’s GDP, the expectations are high from the budget to bring some relief to the segment.

    Budget 2017 Expectations: Urban Consumers Expecting Up To Rs. 5L Cut In Tax Rate

    BUDGET 2017

    With just few days left for Budget 2017 to be declared, Urban Consumers’ expectations are surging and are expecting a good turn in real estate. Announcement of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY) already brought great relief to both the consumers and developers by launching its Housing for All scheme. The latter comes with the deal under CLSS (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme) scheme where the houses will be provided to the consumers with subsidy at Rs. 6 Lakh loan regardless of city category and according to the cost and construction of the property.

    Who will be the Beneficiaries?
    The Lower Income Group (LIG), certainly. However, to this, Chairman & Country Head,  JLL India – Anuj Puri questioned the government if the beneficiaries can be the Urban Professionals who do not belong to either of the EWS (Economically Weaker Section ) or LIG but hoping to buy a home.

    To this, there was an online survey conducted and around 95% of the respondents nodded to the idea as this will encourage the investment from the urban population.
    Now, according to a recent survey conducted on 2017 Budget Expectation, approximately 65.8% people had shared positive response and are expecting a positive inducement in the real estate market. Most of the policies to be generated in the budget 2017 are expected by the consumers to fall in their favour.

    Budget 2017 & Consumers’ Expectations
    The budget is expected to give a push to the Urban professionals to invest more in the real estate sector. The key factors for the same may include –
    • Cut in tax rate
    • Liquidity in market
    • Subsidy provided by the government

    For sound investment in real estate, the segment must have financial security that can be brought by the cut in the tax rate. On the other side, cash crunch caused due to demonetization must be done away soon.  Nevertheless, Delhi-NCR real estate sector still witnessed certain transactions.
