    2 comments
    Union Budget 2016 was been filed in the lower house of the parliament amidst great expectations from industry leaders and the common man. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley delivered a budget which catered to the farmers and poorer sections of the society. Small taxpayers were also given some relief.

    The minister began presenting the budget by stating that there were nine pillars on which his budget stood. From the real estate perspective, the pillars which would have the most direct impact on this sector would be infrastructure and tax reforms. Smart Property in India

    Overall Union Budget 2016 seems to be a mixed bag for the realty industry. While some expectations were addressed, some went totally ignored. A demand which has been met is the digitization of land records which will lead to dispute free titles. Under the Digital India Initiative, the National Land Record Modernisation Programme is set to be revamped and this scheme will come into effect from April 1st, 2016. This will bring the much-needed transparency to the realty sector.

    Here is a detailed look at what the budget had in store for the realty sector. Infrastructure: Infrastructure was given a major thrust through this budget. Special attention was given to road-related infrastructure. This spells good news for the realty sector as the growth of this industry depends on the presence of quality transport related infrastructure.
