Image
The Lok Sabha, on December 20, 2017, has passed a bill to amend the regulations governing compensation payable for acquisition of immovable property  by the centre, for defense and security purposes. The need, 12 th  amendment of the bill, was raised by the urban development minister Hardeep Singh Puri. This bill has the specific and limited purpose, which is to allow the centre to re-issue the notice of acquisition, in order to ensure that the property’s owner gets an opportunity to be heard. But this doesn’t mean that any old case is going to re-open in which the compensation is already being made. This bill will also help those out who are waiting for justice in forcible land acquisition case.  For More Visit:  www.rerafiling.com

“2017” - Most crucial year for Indian Real Estate   We are ready to welcome 2018 with great zeal and enthusiasm so is the Realty Sector. If we look back, we will find several acts as well as several factors that have drawn an enormous impact on this sector, which must be scrutinized before entering in New Year. Revolutionary acts or bills (like GST, RERA) in 2016, whether they are positive or negative, jolted the country in some way.  If we start from GST (Goods and Services Tax), who doesn’t know about it! GST is levied on all areas, which come under the government of India; however, it was very influential in Real Estate too. Though GST is one tax which includes all direct or indirect taxes, every state needs to pay two GST tax such as CGST (central) and SGST (State). A perusal of Entry 5 of Schedule III of the CGST Act excludes “sale of land” from the ambit of GST as LAND is a matter of state. Union Government should not contradict the valuation of land because Land is a sta

RERA will now be governed under the Ministry of Urban Affairs The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 has already been the talk of the real estate industry ever since its implementation in past May. The Act has so far managed to successfully make its presence felt throughout the nation. The Real estate developers all across the nation have criticized the Act, whereas few developers from different states have also pledged complete support to the Parliamentary Act. Consumers of the real estate industry on the other hand welcomed the RERA Act with open arms as this has been the only regulation Act introduced in the sector ever. However, in some of the states consumers also protested against the dilution of the Act by the state government. In the recent news about the Real Estate Act, the Urban Affairs Ministry will now be overlooking the implementation of the RERA Act which makes it mandatory for the states to form a Real Estate Regulatory Authority to conduct op

Home loan industry suffers biggest drop in growth since 2013 The real estate sector of the country has been through a number of ups and downs starting from the demonetization phase in the year end of 2016. The realty sector has already struggled to keep its customers satisfied in the past due to a huge number of frauds that are committed in the Indian real estate, let it be by the real estate developers or even the average brokers. The one measure that was started to turn it all was the implementation the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. However, due to its poor implementation by the state governments in the early stages, the Act so far seems to be unable to reach to its full potential to make any good of the Indian real estate. Only a number of states have observed positive effect of the RERA Act where the Regulatory Authorities have been strict enough. In recent events relating to the realty sector, a report from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy
