CII calls for boost in Real Estate demand

 

CII.

 

The Confederation of Indian Industry has urged the government to increase the tax benefits to home buyers and extend income limit under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to boost demand in the real estate sector which is battling stress and liquidity issues for the past year.

“To meet a minimum GDP growth target of 6-7% it is very important to have a definitive plan for boosting the demand in the real estate sector, which will have significant impact on job creation in both formal and informal sector, as well as a multiplier effect on overall demand,” Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General of the Confederation of Indian Industry, said on 23 Jan 2020.

The announcement of Rs.25,000 crore Alternate Investment Fund for providing last mile liquidity is a very welcome step. “However, the sector needs more liquidity support and steps to boost demand,” he said.

CII has proposed a focused action plan to boost the real estate sector as part of its pre- budget recommendations.

CII has called for additional tax benefits to home buyers to boost housing demand. The maximum available deduction on interest payment of home loan taken for all the property/(ies) should be increased from Rs.200,000 to Rs.500,000.

Further the quantum of set off of losses from house property (self-occupied/rented) against other heads of income should be increased from Rs.200,000 to Rs.500,000.

The Government should consider increasing the income criteria under PMAY scheme to Rs.18 and Rs.25 lakhs from the current Rs.12 and Rs.18 lakhs in the MIG I & ll categories, respectively. This would allow a wider section of the society to benefit from the scheme pushing demand.

ln addition to low demand, the sector has been facing liquidity challenges, post the ILFS crisis. Granting infrastructure status to integrated townships and overall housing sector, would also help developers access priority funding at a lower cost.

Currently, eligible corporates across sectors are allowed to raise ECBs worth US$750 million in a year, and only for construction funding. This limit should be increased to include the entire real estate sector within its ambit.

The Government should also consider extending the developer incentives to all SEZs approved by 31 March 2017, instead of to only those notified till 31 March 2017.

There are many SEZ projects that were approved at the end of 2016 and in early 2017 but could not be notified prior to 1 April 2017. There is typically a lag between approval and notification because of several time-consuming clearances, the CII pointed out. fiinews.com
