Rohit Anand – The New Buzzwords in Residential Real Estate – Affordable Housing and RERA

Real Estate 2020 - Footprint for the Future

13th Edition of CII Conference on Real Estate

Hotel Leela Palace: New Delhi

Over the past 2 years, Affordable housing has witnessed several concrete measures by the Government to boost this critical, yet largely neglected segment. Numerous policies aimed at propelling this segment and promoting private sector participation have been recently announced, including awarding infrastructure status to affordable housing, 100% deduction on profits for affordable housing projects, increasing the livable area of the units and relaxed completion timelines, amongst others. With the implementation of RERA at the state level, consumers can look forward to increased transparency in transactions and developers can look at increased funding as this will encourage foreign/domestic investment and housing sales due to an improved buyer confidence. These coupled with other policy initiatives announced recently, are all aimed at overall development of the housing market in the country.
