Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will lay the Union Budget for 2022-23 on 1st February 2022. Even when the country’s economy was under the unprecedented effect of the pandemic, the real estate sector was one such sector that held its ground and showed marked resilience. Hence, the real estate sector is expecting a tax relief, push towards affordable housing, reduction in interest on home loans, and other reliefs.

“Hopefully, the government will continue to put in its sincere efforts in pushing affordable housing. The cap of Rs. 2 lakh per annum against interest rate deduction under section 24(b) of the Act needs to be hiked to at least Rs. 5 lakh along with removing the Rs 45 lakh cap from affordable housing, which will boost the affordable and mid-segment housing in a big way,” said Sandeep Runwal, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra.

Another thing that realtors are looking forward to is the government’s push towards affordable rental housing schemes by reducing tax slabs on rental housing projects across India. This step will only promote and fulfil the government’s goal of housing for all.

Radha Dhir, Chief Executive Officer and Country Head of JLL, said, “The progress of the Special Window for Affordable & Mid-Income Housing (SWAMIH) fund in achieving the objective of completion of stalled projects is bearing results, the allocation for the fund should be increased further. The government should float similar funds for rental housing projects.

In order to promote the government’s goal of affordable housing, the developers in the real estate sector have suggested to increases the limit on the houses to Rs 75 lakh in the non-metro cities and Rs 1.50 crore in the metro cities from the current limit of Rs 45 lakh.
