Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 25: “CREDAI-MCHI congratulates the government on its third term and anticipates more financial measures to strengthen the economy under the current administration.
Mumbai, as a vital economic engine, must focus on comprehensive city development, including infrastructure improvements and future growth planning.
Given that over 50 per cent of real estate projects in Mumbai are redevelopment projects, the government should consider levying no GST on redevelopment projects. This step would ensure safer, better, and more affordable housing for the citizens of Mumbai.
To address the validated demand for 11.2 million houses, redefining affordable housing for metro cities like Mumbai is critical. A uniform affordable housing criterion for both metro and non-metro cities, without a price cap, should be established, with all houses of 60 sq m declared as affordable housing. Additionally, increasing tax exemptions on home loans and making the interest component on home loans tax-free under the relevant sections of the IT Act are crucial steps to make housing more accessible.
We hope that the government formulates financial policies in a democratic manner, ensuring that the diverse needs of all stakeholders are addressed.”
