Chidambaram started his budget speech with the pretext of slowed global economic growth in He acknowledged that the Indian Economy is challenged and mentioned that the Indian economy is constrained because of a high fiscal deficit; its reliance on foreign inflows to finance the current account deficit; decreased savings and lower investment; a tight monetary policy to contain inflation and strong external headwinds. He assured that the budget spelled out measures for each of the above mentioned issues. The agenda for the Union Budget is set for higher growth leading to inclusive and sustainable development. The finance minister projected the economy to grow by 4.8% in the next fiscal down from 5.5% in The real estate sector had high hopes this year from the Budget. However, the budget remained silent on most of the major issues such as enactment of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill, revision of Land Bill, granting industry status to the sector or infrastructure status to the much ailing affordable housing sector etc. None the less, there are a few small measures that have been taken for the real estate industry in this budget. THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BUDGET WHICH MAY IMPACT REAL ESTATE SECTOR ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1% TDS on value of the transfer of immovable properties where the consideration exceeds INR 50 lakh; No TDS for agricultural land transfer; Impact: This move would help to increase the much needed transparency in the real estate transactions. The provision of deducting 1% as TDS will improve the reporting of such transactions and improve the government revenue from capital gain taxes arising from such transactions. Increase in excise duty rate on marble from INR 30 per sq. meter to INR 60 per sq. meter; Impact: The increase in excise duty rate on marble will affect the sector by increasing in the overall construction cost. This impact will however be minor considering the percentage of cost allocated to this particular construction material and the alternates available. The impact will probably be felt more in the luxury residential and hospitality construction sectors. 1 Colliers International

Reduction in rate of abatement from 75% to 70% for houses and flats of more than 2,000 sq. ft. or valuing more than INR 1 Crore; Impact: This move will particularly impact the premium residential properties admeasuring at 2,000 sq. ft. or more on carpet area basis or valuing more than INR 1 crore by making them more expensive due to increase in service tax. Increase in provision under Rural Housing Fund to INR 6,000 crore from the existing INR 4,000 crore; Impact: The rural housing fund maintained by National Housing Bank is used to refinance lending institutions for providing loans for rural housing. The increase in fund will help to provide housing finance at competitive rates to targeted groups in rural areas. Allocation of INR 2,000 crore for creation of Urban Housing Fund to National Housing Bank; Impact: With the success of rural housing fund where so far 400,000 families have taken housing loan, the urban housing fund has been created to provide housing finance at competitive rates in urban areas. Allocation of INR 15,184 crore for Indira Awas Yojna; Impact: Under this scheme the financial assistance is provided to some of the weakest sections of society to upgrade or construct a house.

3 UNION BUDGET 2013 KEY HIGHLIGHTS (CONTINUED) Allocation of INR 5,000 crore to NABARD to finance construction of warehouses, godowns, silos and cold storage units designed to store agriculture produce; Impact: This fund will enable finance for construction of new supply chain facilities at competitive rates for both public and private sector and boost the investment in retail and industrial sector.

However, this incentive is made available only for those taking their first home loan; upto a limit of INR 25 lakh. Provision is made to claim this exemption in the second year in case the limit is not exhausted in the first year itself. Enhancement of the exemption limit for the general category of individual taxpayers from INR 200,000 to INR 220,000; tax credit of INR 2,000 to individual tax payer having total income up to INR 5 lakh: 10% surcharge on income above INR 1 crore; Impact: Increase in disposable income in the hand of common man which will in turn increase the spending power and boost domestic investments. However, at the same time the surcharge on the individuals, HUFs, Firms and entities having income above INR 1 crore will augment government revenues and help the government. in fiscal consolidation. Conclusion: From real estate perspective the budget seems to be salient; the realty Index and most of the listed real estate companies reacted negatively after the budget announcement. The budget stated that during the 12th five year plan, infrastructure investment will go up to INR 55 lakh crore out of which 47% is expected to come from private sector. The Government has allocated INR 21,700 crore to PMGSY (Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana), INR 14,873 crore for JNNURM (The Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) 3 Colliers International

Government has also encouraged the investment in the infrastructure via raising funds from Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDF), India Infrastructure Finance Corporation Ltd (IIFCL) in partnership with the Asian Development Bank and issuing the tax free infrastructure bonds to a limit of INR 50,000 crore. Further, the budget assured improvement in communication regarding taxation and regulatory policy to boost overall confidence of investor in doing business in India. All these measures are thus expected to enhance capital inflow and indirectly give impetus to the real estate industry.
