Due to COVID-19, a lot of people throughout the country have been laid off from their jobs and some have experienced major salary cuts. It has affected all different sectors and real estate wasn’t any different. As a result of which, the sale of property in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region had dropped in the first quarter of this financial year. It was being debated whether or not it is the right time to buy a property.
People were pushed to stay indoors and having a comfortable home became very important. But they faced an inability to purchase houses because of circumstantial reasons.
We have also witnessed landlords asking their tenants to vacate their property which led to people inclining towards buying one of their own.
Reduction in Stamp Duty
When there is a purchase or transfer of property made, the government charges a tax on the transaction. This tax is stamp duty.
In light of the current situation, the Government of Maharashtra is considering to drastically bring down the Stamp Duty percentage. Realtors have demanded it to come down to 1% from the original 6%. However, it seems likely to see a drop of around 2-3%.
To put it in perspective, if you are buying an apartment costing around Rs. 90 lakhs; then the stamp duty applicable on it is a whopping Rs. 5,40,000 at the current rate of 6%. That is a considerably huge sum of money that goes in, especially in today’s context.
This reduction in taxes is a green signal to invest in property. It will make it significantly feasible to buy or invest in real estate. The builders have demanded to have the stamp duty reduced for the next six months to enhance sales. Buyers too will save quite a bit in this period.
Before buying a property, calculate the accumulative cost of buying – from legal fees, stamp duty, GST, interiors, and more. Stamp duty consists of a big chunk of that amount. With these considerations being made, that amount will work out to be significantly lower.
